Steve hit a nail on a head.

When pot is involved...how do you legislate the various types of weed? If you legalize it...then are you legalizing all forms of pot? Being a former pot smoker 10 years ago, I have tried many different types and some were actually very safe...others were off the chart in THC content. The Colombian brown "dirt weed" was very light stuff. Jamaican and Hawaiian were stronger. But then you get hydroponic labs that calculate everything...the perfect soil and conditions to grow the best buds and sometimes the batches are amazingly potent. Green Dragon, Purple Dinosaur, White Rhino, Orange Lizard...one bong hit of some of that and you go to a different place for about 20 minutes. How can they possibly legislate that? It is just as powerful a lot of harder drugs...but for a shorter duration.

That would force government to agree to a safe THC content...like that could ever happen.

I hear the government grown pot is pretty strong compared to the average stuff. The real problem is that people with Aids, glaucoma and other health issues are really helped by the stuff. Should the government be the only ones that should have the right to grow the pot and sell it? Should it be legalized for health issue only? Do you need to be over 21? What if you are under 21 and are sick? It creates a quagmire. Should our health insurance cover it?

The entire country [minus 54 million] must have been stoned to elect Obama in the first place.
