I didn't say I necessrily agree with "protection" laws, but I'll argue that point for the sake of this discussion. Yes, I would be in favor of obesity laws. Yes, a pot smoker can become a burden on society, just as alcoholics do. So given the roughly equal probability for abuse of each, I'd say we either make both illegal, or put pot on equal footing with booze. Your choice.
And can you imagine the money the government could make from legal pot? Combine DEA savings with taxes....
