It's just ridiculous. Why does our society put such stigma on some damn pot. The therapeutic effects for certain conditions are real. For the love of Pete...

Even though it had been illegal since it was chosen to provide busy work for agents displaced by the end of prohibition, being the poster child of the turbulent 60s gave it a stigma a generation or two will never get over. As those generations make way for the ones that accept it or are ambivalent, there will only be the politicians bought by the pharmaceutical, alcohol, tobacco, MAPD lobbies, without a constituency to blame. Then there will be change. Religion has nothing to do with it. If the tobacco companies were smart, they'd see their market shrinking and lobby to legalize pot and let them handle it. They have a huge network already in place, to package, distribute and collect the taxes.
