Smoking Pot.

So, today is International Worship a Plant Day.

Personally, I'm against the use and legalisation of Marijuana beyond regulated medical applications.

What are the thoughts of others?

Personally I am against the use of anything in excess, especially any intoxicant (and I consider excess to be much more that extremely limited and infrequent use). But that said, I am in favor of complete legalization.

That, I think, would be dangerous.
A significant portion of the risk involved in taking drugs comes from their illegality: variable strength, adulteration, the places one might go to get ones fix.. and that's before you even get started on the societal dangers that come from illegality.

And for what? Who are we actually managing to protect with the current state of affairs?

Yes, there would be dangers making drugs legal, but all of the risks are made worse by their legal (i.e. illegal :) ) status

The thing with cannabis, and this is mostly in the younger population, is that it's a gateway drug. 'Oh you liked that, huh? Why don't you try this?' Before you know it, cannabis is a thing of the past and cocaine or heroine is the new drug of choice.
