I kind of agree,here's why.
If we legalize it a lot more folks are going to smoke and demand Always drives prices Up not to mention taxes.
I can barely afford the "mean green" as it is,if its legalized I may have to drop down a level.

I'm inclined to keep it the way it is right now too

it's decriminalized enough in most places that if you get caught with a small stash for personal use its a small fine like a traffic ticket

if you have more than that on you then you're prolly trafficking and thats not quite the same as just being a stoner

and it's just illegal enough to keep the corporate goons from getting involved and taking it over

Self reliance would be a way of not worrying about corporate or price increase on cannabis. Its a very strong plant that grows well with a little tlc. Im sure if it is legalized one day much like alcohol it will be made illegal to grow large amounts and sell at your personal discretion. Hopefully as with medical marijuana already you will be allowed to grow a certain amount for yourself. A lot of the natural growing cannabis strains throughout the world have been destroyed. If more voices were outspoken and complained of this huge injustice maybe one day original outdoor cannabis will grow freely throughout the US again. Ive been up to Canada a couple times and although its not a top priority it is getting worse just like Amsterdam. Countries usually more tolerant towards cannabis have decided all of the sudden its no good. With so many variations of cannabis its a sure thing corporations would salivate at the chance to pack it up and slap a pretty label on it. One of the beauties of cannabis is when digested it has very few health risks if any.

legalize...but make it mandatory that all government officials have to smoke it

And if they refuse we should use the "Shot Gun" aproach

RIGHT ON!!!

Quite a few in the uk already have. The leader of the opposition David Cameron got into trouble at Eaton (Illuminati School) for his part in a pot dealing ring. It wont stop him from being primeminister after the elections. If more of them in government admitted to it it might explain their poor judgement, but your unlikely to find out until the news of the wotld catches them snorting coke off some prostitute/rent boy
the shotgun should be made manditory

come on now...saying all people that smoke pot make poor judgments is like saying everyone that drinks is a drunkard and a slob..lol....can you imagine a peace summit where all the world leaders smoke a hooka together and discuss their issues?..lol

fewer wars,, thats for sure
