OK, let's legalize assault because it isn't murder.
Pot is what it is. What other things are doesn't change that.

LOL Don't burn your nose.
If THC is quasi-legal now or is likely to be legal in pill form, it would still require a script. That would, in a de facto way, make pot smoke illegal. And, again, pot smoke would be attached to tobacco smoke and the venues for either kind of smoke would not be increased.
Overall, that hippies and other people who smoked back didn't pass it on to their children and grandchildren is evidence that those people came to disapprove of pot smoking. The ones who continued to smoke pot and the pot smokers of later generations (not all), by their lack of initiative, in effect are exhibiting the stereotype. That's why pot smoking lingers on the fringe without an organizational power behind it to legalize it.
What condemns pot smoking is that the kind of people, overall, not all, who smoke it are negative, but accurate, representations of what pot smoking is and what pot smoking does.
Reagan's wife (mommy) and Just Say No signs would not stop the pot smoking juggernaut that you describe.

It seems like the effort would have made it into the mainstream by now.
What about all the potheads who most recently in history (late 60s early 70s) made pot smoking popular? Wouldn't they add to the numbers smoking now? Wouldn't there be many more than 15 million now? Why aren't they still smoking?

But you toke on a joint much stronger than on a cigarette, right? I read that in Time magazine.
More chance for the toxins to cause harm.

thekid, the fact that 15 million pot smokers (if your figure is correct) have yet to coalesce into an effective power for the purpose of legalizing pot is indicative of the stereotype: laziness and loss of motivation. Paranoia about the government is a weak stance. People can change things here. I don't know how some people can't understand that. Where's the motivation?

It is reasonable to conclude that if there's more of what gets a person high in any kind of cigarette (whether it's nicotine or THC) then there's also more of what's toxic. It's smoke; smoke is not good. No smoke can be contained. Who would monitor how much of it is released where other people are? Diminishing venues for smoking anything is an ongoing unstoppable wave.
If THC has medicinal or therapeutic value, it can be delivered in a non-smoking way.

thekai, I don't understand your claim that I "vaguely .... said that marijuana SHOULD be legal because it's not as bad as acid..." Did you mean to say "shouldn't"?
It is you who are saying that because pot isn't as bad as acid it should be legal.
My real syllogism is this:
Major Premise: The medicinal benefits of THC don't require that it be delivered by way of smoking.
Secondary Premise: Smoking a substance of any kind will not be newly legalized.
Conclusion: Smoking pot will not be legalized even though pot contains THC.
Also, what's the basis for your claim that the aging hippies or former pot smokers would support the legalization of pot because it's not as bad as acid?
