The criminalization of marihuana was never about the plant. It was always about criminalizing people and especially about Government power. Without the drug war the Government has very few reasons to kick in somebody's door and to use hard State power against them. The drug war is also used to gain funding for weapons, spy equipment and and anything else needed to fight it. This is where big business and Political donations meet Politics.
We are supposed to be intelligentand enlightened people in these modern times yet some of us think that it is right to beat up and arrest a drug addict to solve their addiction. #1They need compation #2They need a cheap or even free supply of their drug, #3 They need the criminalization of their medical condition to stop. No wonder some drug users become paranoid when they must fear the police daily. The drug war is a crime against humanity, it is a waste of tax payers money and it should never have been fought in the first place. What we need is legalisation and regulation. Legal stores, backgroundchecks for the workers and owners. Seperate the gangsters and mafias from what could be and should be a law abiding Industry without violence etc.
There is no better way to protect children than to legalize marihuana, it is illegal dealers who often sell to children, legal regulated stores will not as they could be closed down and lose their investment. And on top of that they could be prosecuted for selling to minors.
If you care about the children you must legalize and regulate.
