what kind of weed you smokin?

1.) Alcohol has both medicinal and recreational uses - Antiseptic; and if you drink enough you die.
I don't know of any doctors who will "prescribe" you alchoho. It's more self medicating

right ... go check your medicine cabinet for anything that desinfects, and look for Ethanol on the incredients ... you idiot ...

10.) You can grow it for free and it works. Lobbyists for Alcohol, Tobacco, Pharmaceuticals, Timber, and even Military Contractors will lose money if people can use this plant again.
I think it would be better to point out how much money government organizations and industries will SAVE and MAKE if it it legalized. Not how much money people will LOSE.

omg .. i agree with you *hangs him self* ... i just recently saw a documentation about this topic ... i only have a link in german thou ... http://www.cannabislegal.de/argumente/zahlen.htm

basicly it says that in germany, if legalized it would add 530 MILLION euros per year from sales, it would also save 1,5 BILLION euros for lawsuits and persuation of cannabis users ... it would create roughly 13500 new jobs, from wich the state would profit with roughly 200 million euros in income and social taxes ...

so to me that is quite some amount ... even if the numbers arent that high, and it just summs up to 1 billion a year ... its still a no brainer ...
