Legalized Marijuana

The Daily Mail (national paper of curtain twitchers and demented reactionaries) is going ballistic about this. Apparently the states that have legalised are, as we speak, turning into dens of idle depravity. It's hilarious.

Gay marriage and marijuana? I guess the Bible had it right, for once.

"If a man lies with another man, he shall be stoned."

By the way, I love marijuana. I don't smoke it as much as I should. I know, I'm a terrible person.

Apparently a young woman died when run down by a stoned driver. This sad story was used by the Mail as a reason why continuing prohibition was essential. Of course the fact that this happened under prohibition and is dwarfed by the one accident per minute stat regarding drunk driving was not examined. But that's the Mail for you.

More people drink, but driving stoned is just as bad a thing to do.

Edit, this is not meant as an argument

Driving impaired in any way is irresponsible and should be prevented. The actual research about cannabis and driving impairment is mixed. Decent research still needs to be done.
