"Pot could be prescribed and regulated the same way that pain pills such as vicodin, oxycodone and other narcotic drugs are treated. "

Yes, it COULD be... but WHY SHOULD IT?!

I'm fucking sick and tired of hearing people say "regulate it and tax
it just like alcohol, tobacco and other drugs". Fuck that shit. Don't
regulate and tax ANY of it. Do we "regulate and tax" water, cornmeal,
eggs? Then why pot or alcohol? It is a mechanism of social control
and economic dominance. Anyone who suggests that pot (and other
drugs) be "regulated and taxed" is, in objective terms, allied with the
elites, and is an enemy of the people.

PS: darn, I neglected that word "prescribed". That's even worse.
Much worse. To suggest that a drug or substance not only be "taxed
and regulated", but be under the exclusive control of doctors?!
Again, to suggest this is to ally with the elites and take a position
decidedly in opposition to the people's interests.

Russell was clever, but he was only really concerned with things that don’t matter. He didn’t love or need wisdom; he wanted a doll’s house of the mind, so he could feel himself to be surrounded by order and neat answers. Because he was an intelligent man he was not easily satisfied – it wasn’t a cheap doll’s house; but all the same, it was a doll’s house.
