Gotta give thumbs done. Not for the politics, just not a hot deal.
I would move to forum or podium like the other poster recommended.
Look, I get it. You are cool because you smoke marijuana, you get to tell all your friends how "high" you get, and make stupid references to Jay and Silent Bob, and even try to justify your use with ludicrous excuses, but I am just not 15 anymore. What can I say? I grew up. Therefore this deal is not hot.
A bar owner in amsterdam said he never had a fight? Good for him. I am sure there are wineries in the US that have never had fights. Apples and Oranges. Then again, I think binge drinking (the type usually resulting in fights) is retarded as well.
But wait! it helps with pain relief! or nausea! So does tylendol, ibuprofen, benadryl, and Dramamine. Except those don't destroy the tissue in your lungs.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for legalization as long as we tax that sucker hardcore like we do to cigarettes. Plus i'll get to watch someone like Altria just crush the competition. Then all the hippies will be complaining about how big business is involved. Mixed with the fact it would then be legal, it would lose much of its cool factor im sure. Unfortunately, could it then actually act as a gateway drug indirectly? Maybe. Who knows.
Oh, and cool comments:

You need to rethink who you think are pro-legalization

Lower price for the same product on a temporary basis = deal.
I also support legalization based on pure economic reasons, and this is someone who has never smoked weed, despite having friends who have offered since I was about 14.
Not only would we be able to reallocate the money spent trying to stop its flow into our borders, money spent on raids, etc. we would substantially cut down on the prison population. Finally, as has been mentioned, I would want the government to tax the crap out of it.
In 2005, the US collected $13,336,754,000 in taxes from cigarettes. That's right, 13 billion dollars. A conservative estimate of marijuana taxes would yield another $5 billion.
Many more billions would flow into US corporations, who would employee thousands of more employees.
Finally, it might sound contrary to my argument, but I do believe that marijuana is a gateway drug, and I see that as another reason to legalize it. I have seen way too many people start using weed and getting familiarized with the drug scene. It becomes a slippery slope, which leads to them doing harder drugs. Legalizing marijuana would force people to take the first step into other drugs, most of which are recognized to have much worse effects on the body.
I'd be happy to hear any rebuttals on this, I have only formed these opinions are listening open-mindedly to people who had different views than my own once were.
For the record: I do not condone the illegal use of marijuana. Either get a prescription (which I did myself) or stand with us and help legalize this very useful plant. Screw big pharma and screw the cotton monopoly too!
