Quote:It's acceptance is do to education and a new generation. Views have certainly changed. Man where do you come up with this stuff?

 

You're arguing weed is more acceptable because more people are using it. If that was the case there would be more acceptance for Meth, Cocaine, Crack and so on. 

 

Weed's acceptance into the mainstream has nothing to do with a "changing of views" and everything do with a failure of policy. Prisons are over crowded for no reason, we have endless legislation restricting narcotics and an expansive police state to fight the "war on drugs". People that have never smoked weed even argue today that having it outlawed and prosecuted at the level it is today is wasteful at best.

 

These people aren't suddenly picking up the peace pipe, they're admitting the failure of the state the curve behavior with legislation. Just like prohibition of Alcohol didn't end because we had more alcoholics accepting it wasn't that bad, it ended because prohibition doesn't work!

 

<b>edit:</b> education, that's funny you've had kids taught since grade school for 20 years, just say no. Weed is a gateway drug blah blah blah, if anything the education has been counter productive.
