Ahah........I might be induced to take the other side, if only for the sake of argument, which is my everything.
My mom's argument: it's not good for you.
My dad's argument: it's not legal
As to the first, one of my neighbors (who happens to be a lobbyist for environmental issues in Austin) and I were sharing a number a few weeks ago, and he mentioned that some study had shown that one joint has as much tar as a whole pack (20) of cigarettes.
As for the second, there is something to be said for not getting popped and having the state take your kids into foster care.
Of course niether of those arguments address whether any govt.--much less the federal one--ought to be regulating anything but the quality of whatever substance one chooses to employ to alter one's perception, or alleviate a nagging pain.
State and federal beaurocracies have long disputed jurisdiction on a wide range of issues, so why should this one be different, especially since there is such a large federal anti-drug machine that fears for its continued existence.
Those DEA dudes need to send their kids to college, too, y'know.
