Please read my last post to Clenz.
Pot prices are expected to plummet once it's legalized and regulated. State run pot shops will be the cheapest place to buy the highest quality stuff. :nod:

William Randolph Hearst funded Reefer Madness:
Creating public hysteria over smoking marijuana was simply a smokescreen for Hearst and the wealthy DuPont family to prevent the cultivation or importation of hemp products into the United States. The DuPont’s held many lucrative patents on chemicals used in manufacturing plastics, paper, and paints that could become valueless if hemp products and hemp oil derivatives became widely available. But how could they prevent this harmless weed from making their billion dollar patents worthless?

You guys really need to stay off the refer, it will rot your brain. Where did I say the tobacco lobby didn't lie? I said I laugh at the folks who think only one side lies.

OK, so you are stating the studies published by the pro-MJ folks are lies. Good to know.

I agree with both sides in this debate.

With 89 that:
1) There are people who don't smoke pot because it is legal but will start if it becomes legal.
2) The statistics for pot-related deaths are understated because it is illegal and will rise as it becomes legal.

I think that as pot use increases, we will find that there are other health consequences because breathing in smoke from any burning substance on a regular basis is going to cause some problems. I also believe (opinion not fact) that pot is safer and healthier than alcohol and that the increased deaths will pale in comparison to alcohol related deaths.

I support legalization but let's not go into it thinking its some sort of panacea and that there won't be unintended consequences. Life isn't usually that simple.

Well said and I don't disagree with any of it, including that it may be safer. I haven't disputed that. :thumb:
