Here's an article from the Washington Post substantiating the details of the hightimes story from public documents: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/11/AR2008091103928_pf.html

I say that the main reason government does not make marijuana legal is to avoid people getting paranoid. You know, that is the LAST thing the government wants which is for people not to trust it with their very lives. After all, they only have our best interests at heart, don't you know? 😉

Also, alcohol and tobacco make money for industries whereas MJ can be grown in your backyard. Historically, MJ became illegal due to its association with blacks whereas alcohol and tobacco have been legal since they were historically caucasian drugs.

Oh yeah I can. I don't know if High Times had to fire an "award winning" journalist for writing fables as fact. Nope--who was that? The NY Times??😀
