Don't know about fixing the economy...but I don't think the govt. has any goddamn business telling a so-called "free" person what they can and can't do in that regard. I don't even smoke pot because it makes me sleepy...but the federal govt. has NO business telling someone that they can't grow and/or smoke a goddamn plant! Totally ludicrous. And no, I don't believe it would lead to more useage.
Me and every 15 year old kid that ever lived smoked pot in high school. It was easy to find and buy then, and it's even easier now. I'd almost say that the fact it's illegal makes teenagers even more tempted to try it. I know I smoked pot before I drank my first beer just because it was more anti-authority to do so.
The "War On Drugs" is really our countries War On It's Own Citizens. People enjoy partying on the weekend and getting high and getting drunk sometimes. You know, going out having some drinks, getting a little stoned, nailing some good pussy. It's as American as apple pie. And putting people in prison for it is just about as oppressive as anything anyone can do.
