It doesn't make them hypocrites, it makes them illogical. What makes them hypocrites is that they allow people to use a more dangerous drug, yet prohibit the use of a less dangerous one because they claim it's too dangerous. It's like the government is saying guns are perfectly fine for everyone to own and use, but we won't allow you to use slingshots.

With health care costs spiraling out of control, legalizing another harmful product would put greater strain on our system. Educating the masses on how to better take care of themselves is a better option IMO.
I'm all for personal choice and all but what responsibilty for ones actions? The attitude seems to be , no problem, the health care system will be there when i need it.

What about the strain on our law enforcement, legal system, and prisons? The health care system is one industry. I just mentioned three that would see drastic immediate cuts. Heck legalizing marijuana could save us tax payers money.
