Seriously, what difference does it make where it comes from.
Heroin, and cocaine both come from "Naturally grown plants", is that a valid argument for their legalization?
If you want to make a case for legalizing pot please for the love of god use rational, suportable, and relevant arguments to do it.
I really don't care either way if pot is legalized or not, actually that's not true, I really want pot to be legalized so I can stop hearing the same completely ######ed reasoning from the pro-legalization crowd.

Sort of. At least in the sense that as adult, tax-paying citizens of a country, we should be able to determine what we choose to put into our own bodies. They aren't my drugs, but I accept that hundreds of thousands of people can take cocaine and have it just be a social thing. If someone's gonna do Oxys or heroin, it makes no difference to me. Addicts will always be addicts, and they will always get their fix. So why waste time and money trying to prevent people from taking chemicals or plants to change the way they interact with the world, and start doing a little more focusing on the PROBLEMS that get people to start using? Namely depression, abuse, chaos etc.
We couldn't do that. That might require work. And thought. And we can't pay cops for that.
