However, people that smoke marijuana, even a little bit turn into loser potheads with no ambition. I'm not sure if it's losers being attracted to weed or weed bringing them down but either way it's dangerous to society
Your ignorance is stunning.
lsd/shrooms/coke/meth etc turn people into highly productive, problem solvers who are the best kind of people.
weed=losers
my god-you are ignorant

Marijuana prohibition is absurd and I can't take seriously anyone who is a proponent of the squandering of tax-payers' dollars enforcing it.

For you pro-pot guys - where is the line?
Alcohol? Since it kills far more people than pot does. I mean really you're acting like weed is more dangerous than tobacco or alcohol both of which are already legal.
Weed's legality has nothing to do with its harmful effect to the user and society. It's a political argument fueled by big pharma.

First off, ignore el Guacho, he is a known troll on TD.
Lobbying. Lobbying done by the private prison industry, who obviously would want a continued WoD for a variety of reasons. Lobbying done by pharmaceutical companies who would like less competition. Lobbying done by the police union, because a WoD means more jobs.
People have been making money off of the WoD, whether it's prosecutors to a prison guard to a pharmaceutical CEO. And they have been making money for years and they have done a damn good job of putting politicians in place who will continue that. It isn't hard for a politician to say no, because they get to tell their typically older voters that they are going to be hard on crime.
Just this past election we saw a pharmaceutical company donate $500,000 to keep weed illegal in Arizona. The main reason they wanted to keep it illegal? They also produce a generic version of marinol, synthetic THC. And former executives of the company were arrested later for bribing doctors to prescibe another drug they make called Fentanyl.

Now maybe it's because I don't usually get into this discussion outside of the PT board, but I sense that a lot of people realize it's failure. So what is holding them back? Social influences?
