Heavy drinkers are also fit for absolutely nothing, however the government still gives us the right to indulge in it and be responsible enough to control our own intake and make it to work safe and sound on a Monday morning. Marijuana is not an addictive substance in the physical sense, so I feel that it is unfair that we are not allowed to indulge in it responsibly in the same ways as alcohol. 

There will always be people who abuse, but these people will be alienated from society just as alcoholics are. Apart from this anyone who wants to be a heavy pot head will do so regardless of the law, it is one of the most accessible substances on the market.  If history taught us anything is that the best way to get people to stop abusing a substance is to regulate and educate as in the case of tobacco. The anti- tobacco marketing campaigns, all the awareness spread and the extreme regulation of the substance has led to people smoking less and less in the western world.]]></description>

John C, I ask the same question and I come to the same conclusion: 

The Prime Minister is leading the government and the country by illusion, whereby he is distorting reality and facts to instil doubts, encouraging false beliefs and create non-existing images to gain political points, confuse those who are (unfortunately) low in IQ and deliberately stir arguments to inculcate division in our society.

This is my conclusion.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What the heck is going on? 

Why is the prime minister seeking to create the false impression that the case is a political matter? Why?

The Court of Appeal has found Cyrus Engerer fully responsibly for committing a crime against another person.  He is no hero, still less a persecuted one. 

I think the prime minister has crossed the line.]]></description>
