All things in moderation. Except for the police, of course.

Pot will never be legal in a society which allows the booze barons to control the legislators. In Canada, in the '70's, a Royal Commission, the LeDain Commission (?), recommended the legalization of pot. Now, when a Royal Commission says let's do this or that, it usually gets done. However, around the same time, I recall reading that Seagram's was the third most profitable corporation in NA at around a half billion dollars per annum.

In any case, I don't care what the laws are regarding pot or booze or cocaine or whatever. Except for tobacco, for which a date should be set for irradication.... the sooner the better. Let's see those SWAT teams raiding tobacco farms.
