I'm taking donations of high quality cannabis to test this personally.
Please make sure it is free of bug bits and pesticide residues.
"People who have become addicted to marijuana can lose an average of six IQ points by adulthood, according to Lisdahl, referring to a 2012 longitudinal study of 1,037 participants who were followed from birth to age 38.
Brain imaging studies of regular marijuana users have shown significant changes in their brain structure, particularly among adolescents, Lisdahl said. Abnormalities in the brain's gray matter, which is associated with intelligence, have been found in 16- to 19-year-olds who increased their marijuana use in the past year, she said. These findings remained even after researchers controlled for major medical conditions, prenatal drug exposure, developmental delays and learning disabilities, she added."

Yes, you definitely do not want a market that is fully regulated and thus closed off to free competition...
You want distributors putting the stuff on store shelves everywhere, and consumers deciding which brands are the ones which are good, and which ones are total shit...
That way quality control falls back into the hands of consumers, who can observe and analyze the quality of a brand, and a corporation putting all their efforts into ensuring that their brand does not fall victim to counterfeiting, by creating distinctively high quality and cost effective product.
That way some chump with a grow up has minimal start up costs to get his product into stores...
No businessman with a brand name on the line wants to be the loser that gets pegged for using illegal pesticides, or for providing inferior product. Otherwise the brand reputation is ruined... all the power falls back into the hands of the consumer...
Don't want to support the Mexican drug war? Then consumers choose not to buy Mexican brand marijuana. Easy as pie...
They used to believe that radioactive materials were a cure all.
Face it, marijuana doesn't cure anything. You can't light up a joint, and cure yourself of cancer.
If you believe you are curing yourself with marijuana, you were never sick to begin with.
Mind over matter.
Marijuana is a harmless recreational substance, and we have the right as individuals to have access to this substance should we want it.
Do not feel ashamed for having a good time. That is all. Quit being a chicken shit and be direct.
Marijuana kills less people than automobiles do. Prescription medications fuk people up way worse than marijuana ever will. Marijauna is harmless.
Now the real problem with marijuana is the economics of the situation. Tax the stuff, and open up the doors to legal competition, and that will create a competitive industry without cartels, that improve the overall quality of the substance and reduce the cost.
Because right now, you are smoking illegal pesticides...

10,000 pot plants found by sheriff's team in Northern California state park
"A lot of people don't realize the extent of the environmental damage that occurs as a result of these marijuana grows, everything from illegal pesticides to fertilizers to large amounts of garbage," Michilizzi said. "It's a very serious problem."
The sheriff's office anticipated a garden of about 6,000 plants, according to Sgt. John Spagnola, who heads the team. Officers also seized two .22-caliber pellet rifles with high-powered scopes from the garden, which was most likely operated by a Mexican cartel, according to Sheriff Laurie
Do you honestly think that all those mom and pop grow operations want to risk losing thier entire lifes work overnight due to a 5am drug raid? No way... legalize it... set those people free, let them be millionaires...
OMG, you guys have seen this one right? It is hilarious...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn_Johnston_shooting
Kathryn Johnston (June 26, 1914 – November 21, 2006)[1] was an elderly Atlanta, Georgia, woman who was shot by undercover police officers in her home on Neal Street in northwest Atlanta on November 21, 2006, where she had lived for 17 years. Three officers had entered her home in what was later described as a 'botched' drug raid.[2][3][4] Officers cut off burglar bars and broke down her door using a no-knock warrant.[5] Police said Johnston fired at them and they fired in response; she fired one shot out the door over the officers' heads and they fired 39 shots, five or six of which hit her.[3][6] None of the officers were injured by her gunfire, but Johnston was killed by the officers. Police injuries were later attributed to "friendly fire" from each other's weapons.[2][3][6]
One of the officers planted marijuana in Johnston's house after the shooting.[7][8] Later investigations found that the paperwork stating that drugs present at Johnston's house, which had been the basis for the raid, had been falsified.[3] The officers later admitted to having lied when they submitted cocaine as evidence claiming that they had bought it at Johnston's house.[7] Three officers were tried for manslaughter and other charges surrounding falsification and were sentenced to ten, six, and five years.[3]
