So your premis is that because pot is "the lesser of two evils" it should be legalized?
That is a pretty weak arguement for legalizing pot.
Smoking pot is not a victimless crime as has been stated over and over. Responsible smoking of pot may be victimless...just as responsible anything (including the evil alcohol)is victimless.
So when your comparing please compare apples to apples.

Based on many past posts about the pot issue, I will warn you in advance that your research will be considered government scare tactics by some while at the same time their research is to be held up as the truth.
Back on topic, I have been prescribed oxycodine twice and can tell you that it would be easy to get hooked on this if you take them every 4 or 6 hours as prescribed. I was fortunate enough as to only take when needed for the pain and never used up the 1st prescription.

I really think people need to be properly schooled prior to being given a prescription.
