Alcohol, tobacco and coffee all have psychoactive effects, the difference being that these substances are beyond the reasonable means of production of most people and can be regulated and taxed, where-as cannabis will grow in a cupboard and can't be regulated. To think rationally for a moment about the logic and logistics of trying to prohibit and regulate a plant, such as Cannabis, that is known to be extremely hardy, and that can grow almost anywhere, immediately shows the notion to be as ridiculous as that of trying to regulate tomatoes or, ironically enough, grass or weeds. Millennia of empirical and experiential evidence shows continued use of cannabis throughout evolution and across every civilisation and culture known to man, without harm to self, or others. Let us not forget the facts in favour of a myth for which scientific evidence does not exist.
