 Marijuana is not a single-issue issue.
It is an issue that involves personal freedom, the environment, the economy. We are spending billions enforcing prohibition and losing unearned billions forbidding a hemp industry. We are still destroying trees for paper products and soil for cotton. Thousands of years and dreams vacuumed up into a prison system that uses prisoners as slave labor. Pharmaceutical and energy companies use toxic chemicals and methodologies to substitute for what pot and hemp can do.

So when you laugh and accuse anti-prohibitionists of being "Waahhhh! I want to get high!" single issue voters, you are certainly uninformed and the scope of your thinking on the matter is limited.

The issue of marijuana and its corollary concerns cuts to the heart of America, freedom, and intelligent policy.

2. by that measure just about all single issues aren't single issues.

    My wrinkled balls.

    Next time you see a group of people screaming for legalization, count the dreadlocks, tie-dye, army parkas, and hemp bracelets, then divide my the number of people advocating for trees and soil.

    Hint: dividing by zero is typically regarded as undefined.

Dude...I am sooooo wasted!

When the American people want or need alcohol it is there for the people at a price. Taxed and regulated, we have learned from the past that making it illegal just leads to more crime and fortunately more poor folk that made it get inside toilets, new cars and paid off their taxes.   More corruption, and the big time illegal importers used their money to control local government.   One of the best ways to take the poor into the big time and controll local government.

Unlike the booze runners of yeastier year, there is no one Mob behind it, this is a free for all today, all the different gangs involved, the outside corruption involved, and the Money is huge up to being obscene for the last people one would expect.

Weed a plant that grows naturally everywhere is illegal, today, much like the bath tub gin of the past  all so easy to make and or grow.

Tobacco is an addicting drug, harder to get off for some people then Herion.   Percription drugs are a nightmare for those that find a Doctor to give them out like candy.

We have the Nut's that cook drugs in their kitchens ----Blow them self's up on shake and bake.-----Distroy perfectally good homes cooking Meth.

However it is the weed that makes the most money for  the corrupt, smugglers and transporters.      Odd is it not that the least harmfull drug ----less then alcohol or tobacco makes the most money over the home made drugs and  as it is illegal and has the most blood on it ?

  Heard that Pot is a gate way drug to others , So is smoking a cigarette a gate way drug to pot, is Aspirin a gate way drug to other stronger pain killers ?

Rather meet a person mellowed out on Pot then some insane person drunk on booze, out of their mind.

An Issue issue. For insight into the scope of this we need the wisdom of Whoopie, who introduced us to the concept of Rape rape.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
