What the government should do is decriminalize Cannabis, or simply make it medically legal federally. This would help because:
1. It would cut down drug trafficking (most dealers primarily make thier money off of weed). They would be putting alot of dealers out of business, forcing them to get a real job to benefit society.
2. All of the time and money spent on stopping marijuana use could then be put towards actual crimes (like hard drugs and murders)
3. It is almost as widely ignored as the prohibition of alcohol was in the 1920's and we all know how that worked out.
4. If someone is caught with Cannabis thier financial aid is completely taken away forever. Way to go Bill Clinton.
5. Studies prove that it is NOT physically addictive and it IS one of the most versatile medecines in the world.
6. We would stop deforestation(for paper) because hemp is a stronger and cheaper material to cultivate. (We are currently the only G20(the worlds financial elite) country that does not have a market for hemp, which is one of the worlds most profitable products because of its strenghth.... its the worlds strongest natual fiber.
7. Tobacco use would most likely be cut down because I'm sure many people would rather smoke a joint than smoke a ciggarette. Also Yes, smoking Marijuana can be bad for your lungs.... but a small purchase of a vaporizer completely nullifies this problem.

and most importantly:
8. If Cannabis users are now going to the store or the pharmacy to pick up the plant, they do not have to worry about getting caught up with the wrong pepole and they are far less likely to come into contact with the hard drugs that cause problems.

So basically legalization/decriminalization/medical legalization would be a win win for everyone.

"People who smoke crack cocaine are at increased risk of becoming infected with HIV — a finding that highlights the need to adopt and to evaluate the use of safe inhalation rooms and safer crack kits, B.C. researchers say. "

I don't know what amazes me more. The fact there was funding to have researchers find this out, or the fact that they are proposing "Safe"rooms. How Safe can smoking crack be for an individual????
