If it's legal and expensive, who isn'y going togrow their own? Oil isn't scarce nor are diamonds; the markets are controlled to keep the prices high. Don't hold your breath, unless you happen to be smokin' the good stuff. The War on Drugs is about keeping the price high by controlling availability.

Many "Liberals" do fall into the trap that Government should be all-encompassing. Woodrow Wilson got us involved in WWI, put the for-profit Banksters in total control over the currency (Federal Reserve Monopoly), and by extension created the Wall-Street superclass, and he started up the I.R.S. and the Income Tax. He also tried to start the League Of Nations. Harry Truman converted our Country into Permanent Warfare State when he started-up the C.I.A. and National Security Act, which institutionalized criminality, secrecy, and Military adventurism on a 24/7 basis. Ever since then, we have been in s state of War either covertly or overtly all over the World. This type of thinking is also the same type of thinking that seeks to micro-manage peoples personal lives, and criminalize marijuana or agree with The Patriot Act (like Obama) and NDAA (Obama), and flying Drone all over the World to kill people (Obama).

A win-win because a black market will continue to exist, which means the War on Drugs will continue.

Now if Dobson or Franklin Graham comes out for weed, well that's what pot politics can do, make strange bedfellows. Robertson supporting marijuana legalization is an important moment.

I think that's the explanation for O'Bummer's hostility toward hemp. I’m sure his tobacco industry friends are ready to move into the legal-weed market.
