Before I opened this thread I thought Wildest Bill’s reasons for legalisation would be less about government finances and more about the need for stress relief. About the unfairness of being born into an increasingly precarious world in which all anxiety and unhappiness is supposed to be cured by taking slow, deep breaths. About how psycho-pleasure is tainted with some kind of unexplained sinfulness. After all there has to be a reason that plants and minds have a kind of “understanding” - the same way that carrots and the body do. No-one sees eating carrots in an attempt to become healthy as sinful do they? Well, why see smoking cannabis in an attempt to cope with the worst the world has to offer as unhealthy either? Employers should be amenable to the idea of weekend drug use by now surely. Negotiate for contained, weekend use of soft drugs. Say it has something to do with terrorism.
Don’t you know that the problem with legalizing weed is that PEOPLE WOULD SMOKE IT?

I agree. Everyone should use drugs so they never have to experience any negative emotions ever. Instead of merely legalizing drugs, the government should actually be manufacturing and providing some. We’d need a fancy name for these new drugs. How about “soma”? That sounds catchy.
Yeah, that’s right. Ever known a person whose life was so bad just thinking about them made you feel sick? Or does not thinking about people like that make your life a whole lot better? Only in the twentieth century were drugs made illegal anyway. It was considered quite normal to take cocaine and heroin once upon a time - people bought them from pharmacies.
Harmonious Discord, did someone really do that? Just from pot? I’ve always thought that pot should be legalized, because it seems sort of harmless (never tried it myself). If what you said is true though, it doesn’t seem as harmless. Are you sure he wasn’t on anything else? Well, at least he didn’t hurt the dog, that would have been worse.
I think they missed the reference. Nice try tho. 
Ariadne and Harmonious Discord the case about the person cutting off his face with a glace shard and feeding it to the dog was not caused by pot. It was caused by Crystal Meth, which is known to cause instances like the cases descries above. A scene was re-enacted in the movie Hannibal in case your wondering.
Weed is legal in some areas of the US WB. Why not vacation in Alaska next time & perhaps parts of California & arizona.
You can get steroids from your doctor by RX if you have the right disease.
Women can use steroids too, but they get these weird enlarged mandibles & stubble on their face.
Protesilaus, I get the reference there. I’m just not sure the people who need to get it do.
