Ever had a speeding ticket? Ever had any kind of indiscretion in your life at all?

I guess there go your chances for an organ (should you ever need one) based on this "logic". Why should they waste potential organs on someone if they ever need a transplant since they have an obvious history of participating in dangerous activity that will likely result in premature injury/death, right? Keep the organs for the ones that are pure and virgin as the driven snow. Like Rush Limbaugh. Oops, scratch that. Umm. . . Jesse Helms? Drat. Maybe Jerry Falwell? Nope. Hmm. Karl Rove?

I guess the only difference is that technically speeding is illegal and pot smoking under a doctor's order is legal (both in WA and CA now I believe).

This is a complete bunch of B.S. The politicians stand to lose one of their biggest "cash cow" excuses to keep taxes high on the populace with their "war on drugs" crap that's been a failure since it was initiated back under the Reagan administration. Got news for ya'. We can't win that war either. It's just a convenient excuse for the politicians and bureaucrats to keep themselves in control and keep taxing/regulating the populace ("if we cut taxes, we won't be able to crack down on drug dealers!"). It's about the same level of scholarship/intellectual validity as "won't someone please think of the children!" Stupid, sensationalist nonsense designed to preserve the status quo by riling up the ignorant.

Anyhoo, there's your "reasoning" behind the war on drugs. Well, that and because Jesus sez that marijuana is an evil substance. And the cotton lobby of course. But that's not important. And never mind the fact that if you believe that god made the world, he obviously made marijuana, cocoa, poppy and other "evil" plants too. But that's not important either.

It's laughable how America gets so hung up on these innane pseudo-religious platitudes while the ROW is kicking our asses in everything else that matters. I guess it's more important to uphold our own delusions of greatness and moral superiority.
