Legalize it

Stockholm police have busted a network of cannabis growers. One of the suspects is a record producer who cultivated the plants in his studio.

I’ve never understood why cannabis isn’t legal. It’s harmless, at least compared to smoking, drinking and things like coffee. No person in the history of mankind has died of cannabis. Not one. And the plants are great for commercial use as well. You can make a lot of stuff out of it like clothes, rope, bags, you name it. Not to mention that the leafs are beautiful!

I don’t like it myself, I rather drink vodka or have a good glass of wine, but I don’t care if anyone else munches away on a brownie or puff on a bong for a while. Would should I?

So why do the legislator care? Well, with the exception for the very spooky and supposedly scary ‘gate-way’ argument there is no reason. Police resources that could be used to catch real criminals like murderers or child molesters are spent to chase these harmless people down.

Just legalize it already.
