To begin to answer this question, a series of lies by our government must be undone in order to allow for lucid thought. Firstly, marijuana is not some insidious plot on the part of black American jazz musicians. Secondly, marijuana does not produce rage or anything remotely resembling rage. Not surprising that a lie would fall exactly opposite of the truth. It happens all the time in the Drug War. Last year marijuana was pronounced to be the most addictive of all drugs. This is of course 180 out from the truth. Thirdly and most importantly, no one
is
powerless over
any drug; therefore
drugs cannot
effect human behavior.no one is powerless over any drug; therefore drugs cannot effect human behavior. Their ability to affect human behavior is different. In other words drugs can kill you, but they cannot make you steal money from your mother's purse. Now, have your government chant these truths to you for 50 years and you will be ready to answer the question at hand.

You can skip this step if you have retained the power of independent thought despite a concerted effort by those who would institute a beehive society in place of that envisioned by our founding fathers.

   Opposites being the motif for drug war propaganda, one can most certainly conclude that marijuana will produce a mellow state of mind. This is what has really gotten our government worried.

   Our country is many things to many people, but not one of them would argue that it is not the biggest financial entity in the world. Our gross national product is enormous. It assures dominance and control in the world. Our economy is like a huge engine

   To extend this analogy to a train, the government is clearly the engineer. The engineer is concerned with stoking the furnace and increasing the speed. Conversely he is compelled to avoid anything that would reduce boiler pressure. Well that is exactly what would happen if everyone on a daily basis used marijuana.

    The good news is that most people don't like marijuana so fears of our choo-choo grinding to a halt are unjustified. And those that do like marijuana don't want to harshly control their neighbors. The reduction in boiler pressure in this country would be a good thing. If you are compelled to be fast, fine; don't smoke a lot of marijuana. If you want your country to be fast, fine; beat your neighbors like a bunch of lazy gerbils, or simply smoke a joint and get over it.
