Penn - I see exactly where you are coming from with your statements about marijuana. However, the same things can be said for alcohol and cigarettes. None of them are on the "healthy" list of things to do but regulated (no selling to minors) usage is permitted for alcohol and cigarettes.

Cigarettes are terrible. They cause cancer as well as chronic lung disease that has cost taxpayers billions of dollars - but they are legal.

Booze is the same thing. I know the risks when I have a shot of Johnnie Walker Black but it is legal. I know it can cause liver damage, brain damage, and heart attack. Alcoholics can legally buy booze. Why not stop the sale of booze?

The addictive disorder person will take any of those products as well as glue sniffing, aerosol sniffing, banana peel smoking, or just about anything and turn it into a life changing event for themselves.

Some thngs are not good for you but are still legal.
