Potato chip makers around North America are getting a little nervous

So the U.S.'s "War ON Drugs" has taken a new turn as of late. With the use of hardcore drugs like cocaine, crack, and meth on a dramatic up swing down south(and from what I have read here at home aswell), the current administration or group of crackpots that is running that place has decided to take a new approach to dealing with these drugs that are killing people by attacking and focusing their attention on....get this....the weed...Yes that's right folks,pot-marijuana, they are combating the bullies of the drug family by focusing on something that causes munchies and the sudden understanding of Pink Floyd-The Wall. Does this make any sense to anyone??? Now their excuse is that it's the "Gateway Drug...If we can eliminate pot then all of the coke and heroin dealers will give up and go home". Yup that's a great plan....fuckin idiots.
Now I no longer smoke weed but have in the past, still have friends that do, and have never heard anyone say "Damn this weed is good but I think I'll go get me some Smack!!". I have never felt the need to try anything else,if pot is the gateway to hardcore drugs..Then wouldn't beer also be a gateway drug? cause as we all know you go from beer directly to ether brewed in your own garage. I just don't understand the rational behind this. Pot has been proven to have medicinal purposes and really has about the same effect as alcohol(in my opinion anyway) and even if its not quite the same its at least in the same ballpark. If someone was going to try other drugs then I personally believe that it is something in their personality that will drive them to that stage of drug use, and you can't help the short wiring in somebody's brain or genetic make up that will drive them to that. It', the same as the difference between those that can drink and those that need to drink to get through a day. Its a genetic mental problem. This is POT for Christ sakes...Have you ever heard of a bunch of people smoking pot causing trouble in a neighborhood?..Of course not.they are to tired to get up of a couch, the chips taste to good or the Mario Cart tourney is heating up. The US spent 35 billion on the war on drugs last year, 35 billion...Jesus... and that's now going to fight pot.. Hey George here's something you might wanna think about...If you were to legalize it and tax it you would make that back and you can then use it to fight the real drugs...Use it on drug education....But what kind of forward thinking do you expect from a country that won't even entertain the idea of same sex marriage.....Hope fully the FBI don't knock on my door tomorrow.....
