See anyone in this article in pain, or even slightly ill?

Ha ha! So you are saying that these 8000 pot heads all have medicinal prescriptions? Give me a break, probably nearly all of the weed in this "celebration" is illegally obtained.
Hell, I had someone try and sell me some weed door to door last year. The stuff is everywhere.

Just goes to show that no matter how much taxpayer money is pissed down a hole trying to eradicate weed use, annual congregations of people can get together and defy the laws against it. The police and the college just had to let it happen as the article says, what are they gonna do, arrest all 8000 plus people?

Why waste all this time trying to stamp it out like we are doing? If they made it legal, probably the same number of people would be smoking it, and enormous tax revenue would be gained.

Your argument reminds me of people who do not want sex ed taught in high school. Its a joke, kids are gonna have sex, no two ways about it. The only thing that can be controlled is how the information is presented. You might as well tell em about it, and about contraception and VDs, cause then next year 16 year old jack and jill might not be sharing a case of the clap with their newborn.

I don't really like pot smoking since I think its as unhealthy as smoking tobacco and destroys initiative, but its pointless to avoid the hard truth of the situation. People are gonna smoke pot, they will find it illegally with the ease of turning on a light switch. There is medicinal use, but lumping that in with this kind of celebration is kind of unfair. The core issue is that we are trying to regulate something almost impossible to regulate, and that it promotes lawlessness in ordinarily law abiding citizens. Its like a big joke that pot is illegal. Walk into any college in the country and tell me im wrong. The evidence presents itself.
I had a cop landlord who would arrest kids for possession, then go home and light up his own personal joint with his wife. Its just ridiculous.

Look what happened when they repealed prohibition? All the rampant gangster/police violence of the thirties suddenly ended. Thats a lot of time and money that could be put into dealing with truly harmful drugs that cause way more social problems.
