i find it stupid that alcohol and cigarettes are legal but MJ is not. i find it odd that as americans we like to think that we can "protect" everyone, well i say that no one needs protection from MJ, i say what about the people who needed protection from that drunk driver, or that child who needed help when his mom and dad would smoke cigarettes in front of him. well the protection there. hypocracy, thy name is america

actually alcohol is the number 1 used " drug " in this country if not the whole world. alcohol is responsible for between 500,000 and 750,000 deaths in this country every year. this information is directly from the L.A. county coroners office. tv show on MSNBC about all the John and Jayne Doe's in L.A. county. alcohol, by 10,000 or 100,000 fold, is way worse than all the other drugs combined and its legal ???? also, how many of those alcohol related deaths are poeple that were'nt even drinking, just happened to be at the wrong place at the the wrong time!!! pretty sad all the hypocracy!!!!!!!!

Bud is good for you. It releases stress from everyday life. No one has ever died from bud, but Alcohol and Tobacco (legal drugs) kill millions every year.
