I am probably one of the few prohibitionists on this board. From personal experience, and common sense empiricism, it has a profound effect on an individual's mental well-being, probably has an undisclosed impact upon the likelihood of developing serious psychotic illnesses later in life, and is the cause of so much wasted time.

The fact that this scheme is being peddled as a resource-generator by big corporations is enough to make me skeptical.

The legalization of marijuana has nothing to do with the legalization of alcohol. Just because one poison is allowed to run rampant, why allow another to do the same?

That said, I believe that anyone of moral sensibility should remain ostensibly opposed to the prison farms of the United States filled with small amount possession offenders.
