Fred Miller:

The reason I was asking about who "discovered" pot was to try to figure out what the overall effect was on them, good or bad. Does that ethnic group or country still exist?

I have not seen anything good come from use of drugs outside of medical uses. I will now be told about the medical uses for pot. Correct me if I am wrong but if a doctor prescribes it you can get it.

The reason I reiterated the obvious legal age for smoking and drinking is to illustrate that laws to regulate certain substances can be beneficial and acceptable.

The reason I am mentioning Alcohol and Nicotine is because they are not beneficial as drug use including THC is not beneficial.

It just happens that even though smoking and drinking are legal, smoking and excessive drinking are not good for you.

If you want to eliminate the laws against drugs or pot in particular you also have to change the laws about under age drinking and smoking.

As far as drug culture goes should we recognize NAMBLA as well as NORMAL?

Should we do away all of the taboos like incest and rape? Should we have total anarchy with everybody smoking enough grass that we can't or won't hurt each other?

Somebody previously mentioned that American cigarette companies are involved in laundering drug money by trading cigarettes to South American smugglers and getting paid in drug money.

This is true and it should be stopped by the US government. That would be a good purpose for a demonstration that might do some good.
