And we have known about hydrogen-propelled vehicles for AT LEAST 15 years, yet we won't produce them because the value of fuel driven vehicles is higher. (Also, they don't push as hard as the gas-guzzling SUV's and what American doesn't want the ability to go from zero to sixty in 2.5 milliseconds even if they never use it? Brainwashed, we are, I tell ya.)
The main reason I think that MJ should be legalized is because of the "gateway drug" theory. I don't agree that using it on its own leads to the use of heavier drugs, but the fact that it is illegal (and yes, more harmless than alcohol to your system, especially when digested instead of smoked) makes kids go underground to get it. There, they are exposed to all of the narcotics and prescription drugs for sale.
