That was sort of my point too. Just like prohibition on alcohol caused thousands of deaths in gang wars...drug prohibition has caused turf warfare over drugs leading to thousands of deaths.
As far as the "illegal" part goes...yeah, you're right. For centuries marijuana was perfectly legal as was cocaine and several others as we discussed in this thread. Then the govt. started dictating to us what we could and couldn't do to have a good time. They failed at alcohol prohibition but have continued on making things illegal at their whim.
Can't pay a woman for sex, can't smoke a joint, can't do a bump, the list goes on brother. You see, the govt. knows better than you do what you should do or not do. And by God, if something is fun...they will MAKE it illegal.
So now a person is a criminal just for partying on a Friday night. That ain't right.
