Good News in the War on (Some) Drugs: Pot is Good for You

The Globe and Mail: Study turns pot wisdom on head

It turns out that the effects of pot use are dependant on dosage and amount used. However, no matter how beneficial marijuana is, the Lifestyle Police are against pot use because it's fun (and therefore bad) and because legalization would devastate many industries: alcohol, paper, prison and prison-related (like construction). Pot illegality is originally based in racism, and the refusal to change our drug laws must at least partially be based on racism as well as the factors above.

The Lifestyle Police are right in that marijuana is a gateway drug. It's a gateway to people thinking for themselves - once someone enters the black market to purchase pot, tries it and likes it, they generally tend to question authority more. Questioning authority is something the Lifestyle Police (TM) discourage because they control the levers of the Republican party and key social institutions, thus giving them power. Their authority is essentially based on "because we said so" and not in any rational philosophy. I say rational philosophy because they claim to be inspired by God and try to justify their political influence through God. In their collective mind, questioning authority in general leads to questioning God and his role in our Republic. Therefore any they try to quell any questioning of authority.
