While out walking around (I forgot I was looking for a job) I came across a billboard with a hot chick saying "Just say no to drugs". I have not smoked sense that day.

lolollololololololollolol

Doesn't seem the war has been effective, if it were a military war, real casualties (like iraq/afghanistan) we would have found a way to get out of it long ago.

actually we haven't gotten out of those ineffective wars either

Actually here's an observation, but I should note I'm absolutely NOT drawing any conclusions regarding causation with this, but it's too interesting not to point out:

- The % trends up during a democratic white house. It trends down during a republican white house.

That's just a fact, I'm drawing no conclusions from that so keep your flames to yourself! But check it, during the Carter administration it went up and peaked in 80 when Reagan took over. From there it steadily dropped until '92 when Clinton took over. It peaked again in 99-00, right when Bush took over. I wonder what's happened since.

That's definintely a reasonable observation.

I don't think it's a stretch to say we'll see another upward trend under Obama considering the way his admin has approached things so far.

He could add a smoking room and pipe in the smell of pizza or he could have a delivery special large pizza topped with ganja and shrooms.

If the last admin wasn't enough to make you smoke why start now?

I once read that banks are the biggest financial beneficiaries of the illegal drug trade. I'm not sure if it's true, but I don't think we can necessarily conclude that making it legal will provide more revenue. Don't ask me why or how, I just don't think it's that straight-forward.

In any case, marijuana should not be a Schedule I drug (cocaine is S2). Just goes to show you that our governments priorities here are not related to safety IMO.

I'm not sure if there's any one explanation. Usage probably ebbs and flows based on a variety of factors.
