Actually you're fighting terrorism. Legalize marijuana and they'd have to compete with major domestic corporations for the market, and I hardly think they could. Hence marijuana's legalization would deprive them of one of the primary funding mechanisms, one that they have also invested a lot of money to build infrastructure for.

Hm I always thought Opium was their source of income. Where does the greatest part of M. really come from? Ain't it South America/lebanon/southeast asia?

i agree. however, watching the super bowl commercials last year, they said if you smoke weed, your with the terrorists. then they proceeded to show commercials for prozac and zoloft.

by the way, most weed in the USA comes from either BC or california, where growing conditions are optimal, and laws are lax

You're right. Actually what I was suggesting was just legalizing all drugs in general, which would include Opium and its derivatives.

with regard to the topic that kinda came up...
im for legalization of weed at the least but considering all drugs were legal do you think people (the mass they in general) would be responsible enough to use them without causing a catastrophic social disaster?

Well, most parts of Europe if not all, and South America .. in some cases, have a more mature society in this case. Great Example Holland, where XTC , WEED are legal, if not all drugs. The same for England, where XTC came legal, and that money to stop XTC was rather used to educate those using the drug, yet, those societyes are more mature.

And to the US, with strong words, is not mature enough to forefront those changes. This is a conservative country, pretty much, and not as open minded , in that kind of way, to those in Europe... so I do say that it will be a catastrophic social disaster

Well I just moved to Holland and i don't see any catastrophic social disasters that were catalyzed by legalization. After living for 20 years in an American Puritanic repressive society I feel like I am in a place that is light years ahead of that bullshit. For the first time ever I feel like I am in a free country

There’s loads. Here’s an example; the UK’s can talk about Lords reform. In fact, anyone is welcome to talk about the relative merits of a bicameral system if they wish to!
