Glad you posted it.
Im not sure how to stand in all this. On one hand id rather see someone take some herb for their problems, then pushing 5-10 different pills that fucks up their liver. Had a friend who is scizo, and the only thing that made her sleep was either 2 types of drug classified pills, or half a blunt. On the OTHER hand legalisation would just make all the crackheads ask for a blunt whenever they hurt a knee, alternatively, hurt themselves to get empathy and some more weed, just like you pointed out.
What really ticks me off with all this is, my main reason for depressions are the news papers. People dying cause of some fuck high on something, thought it be a good idea to bash their head in for 1 dollar, while the "experts" debate on how to solve the problem. This is where some ass comes up with "Lets push some more drugs!"
So what am i saying here?
Your rants are awsum, and i hope your gonna continue this for a good while.
Foamy brings hope. :P
