Cool!
But strictly speaking, there is no need of any argument.
It is up to those wanting cannabis illegal to give arguments, and they
have failed up to now, and this since the start. All arguments in
favor of cannabis illegality have been shown to be pure propaganda
with 0 evidences presented (and a lot of logic and statistic errors,
or even plain lies).
It is amazing how some scientist are quick in saying this or that is
crackpot, but remain mute on the "cannabis dangers". There are more
evidences that water has memory, or that Obama is an alien coming from
some galaxy nearby, than that cannabis has been dangerous for the
health of someone, besides the fact that any abuse can be
problematical, especially when a product is made illegal.
The whole prohibition idea is a criminal crap. We believe today, both
theoretically and empirically, that once a drug is repressed, its
consumption augments *a lot*. That is normal, because its prohibition
just creates a very lucrative (black) market, without neither price
nor quality control, and offering the best means to target the
children in the street.
Prohibition makes no sense at all. The term "drug" has no meaning at
all, except "medication".
A "drug" is only a medication made illegal, so that we can sell it at
abnormal price, to all kids in all urban streets. It works very well,
for the bandits and the criminals, in every countries. Prohibition is
a democracy killer.
