Is it time to legalize pot and reduce the death rate of tobacco and alcohol?

Yes. I wonder how much they pay for the heads for every Mexican we kill just so they can keep making money?

We'd see a fall in prison numbers, an increase in tax revenue and a fall in deaths and diseases caused by doctored drugs.

On the minus side there'd be fewer humerous stories about people buying oxo cubes for twenty quid instead of pot, (which happened to a friend of mine)

Always lick first.
