To make it clear, I see no reason why pot should be illegal if nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine is.  It seems arbitrary and hypocritical to deem these acceptable but pot unacceptable.  

That said, I understand why there are restrictions on drugs such as heroine and crack cocaine.  The drugs are so addictive, that addicts will rob and steal in order to get it.   

If it were up to me, I would decriminalize all drugs and only prosecute those who would sell hard drugs.  Pot is not a hard drug.  It's only hard in the minds of people who have been indoctrinated to believe it is.  If it is a hard drug, then alcohol is even worse.

At one point, public opinion on Alcohol was such that it was deemed illegal.  The drug didn't change, but attitudes did.
