It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. We have enough problems with our health system and trying to educate people to quit smoking. Now they're going to legalize marijuana. What's the point? We should stick to our guns and ban it and stop people from smoking altogether rather than encouraging people to smoke something else. Jim Johnson - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
