Why do you ask silly questions? Do you have any idea how much TAX DOLLARS it cost to hold a stoner for 9 days while waiting for court? Sorry, but I would rather have better roads, better healthcare, better homeland security, etc.
Are you sure the first step wasn't tobbaco? Or Maybe alcohol? Or sugar, caffine, the l-tryptophan in turkey? Most all foods have some drug effects. Many people eat too much because the starches calm them. Maybe we shouldn't let our kids whirl around in circles till they're dizzy and giggling cause it creates a gateway mindset? The whole gateway drug concept is pretty debunked...
