It looks like this is ok, people will stop trying to do whatever they do as much illegally now due to the fact it is well, allowed. And, who wants to do something legal?
If hefner was a rich, gay, playboy and had hot steamy sex with hot guys would you choose him? Of course not, mainly because im a straight male and find that stuff gross.

However, it will likely be trumped by federal and state law.

I really find the positions on Marijuana in this country often disgusting...
I mean, I know weed is dangerous, sure, right...
But look at the legalized drugs of tobacco and alcohol, far more harmful and causing far more death and destruction...
That's why I really, really hate those ****ing anti-weed commercials that usually go, "OMG, TELL YOUR SISTER YOU FORGOT TO PICK HER UP BECAUSE YOU WERE STONED".
Riiight...Why aren't we getting any anti-alcohol, "TELL YOUR FRIEND YOU'RE SORRY YOU KILLED HIM IN A DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT BECAUSE YOU WERE DRUNK" or "TELL YOUR LUNGS YOU'RE SORRY YOU GAVE THEM CANCER BECAUSE YOU SMOKE TOO MUCH TOBACCO"...
Give me a goddamn break, no one's going to go hard after the big tobacco and alcohol companies. Disgusting...
But in the end, no matter, we'll continue to waste money on the anti-drug war, while people around me still get totally stoned anyway (*Stares at TRM*)...

It does seem hypocritical to outlaw marijuana while legalizing alcohol and tobacco. I don't generally partake in any mind or mood altering substances, but I feel that anyone over the age of 18 should be allowed to smoke some reefer if they want to. Maybe if it wasn't such a taboo subject there would be more studies done about the long-term health and second hand effects of marijuana smoke, but that's America for you. We're going to fall behind the rest of the world in stem-cell research, Janet Jackson showing a half-clothed boob starts a firestorm, and we're debating evolutionary theory vs. creationism in a Pennsylvania courtroom.
The only reason that marijuana became illegal in the first place was because it was an easy way to control mexicans in the 1910s. The law was passed by the US government convincing the public that marijuana gave the mexicans superhuman strength and go on murderous rampages.
The US then convinced it's citizens and then the rest of the world that Marijuana made you go crazy, ie. Reefer Madness.
And that, boys and girls, is why marijuana is illegal today.
If you want the full story, just watch the documentary "Grass", then you will get the full story.

The left-wing pinkos I hang out with think that it was a conspiracy by nylon companies to keep cheap and useful fibres (hemp) off the market. I'm trying to figure out which story involves dodgier lies...

You talk as if each action taken at a national level has only one cause.
Quite possibly the most true pattern in (espeically American) history is that everything that happens is caused by many, many factors.
In fact, both what you said and the person you quoted said have some potential to be correct, and combined with the spirit of Temperance and pro-Government interference attitude of that time (relatively), one can say it was all of them, and more.

Hmm, well, I like to limit the number of explainations I accept that involve very powerful people lying outright to achive an unrelated agenda. Nonetheless, dodgy lies all around!

Heh. Ignore the propaganda. All you need to know is that marijuana can and eventually will kill you.* It's ethically** and morally** wrong, and you shouldn't think about smoking it, let alone questioning your democratically electedself-appointed leaders who still tell you how to think.
*It won't be the weed or any side effect that kills you, it'll be the (thought) police who bring you to "justice" that'll do that.
**These are true because Our Lord and SaviorThe Destroyer of Worlds, George W. Bush, says so. We're all loyal non-terroristic Americans who would never dream of questioning what we're told by the Ministry of TruthFBI and DEA, right? Right?
