          Alcohol is the most violent related drug, fuck tard. Since when do you hear a guy smoking a joint hitting his wife? More like a guy getting drunk then hitting his wife, so get your facts right before you make assumptions and look like an asshole, ASSHOLE!!!

              I can see how some people may hate this drug... I can see those people are Americans and link Marijuana to hippies, peace movements, tranquility, the direct effects of it at least. I can also see how none of this people have lived in any Marijuana exporter country, or involved in the drug trade, and how it is killing like a cancer those countries. I am Mexican and you have no idea how violent the cities (right next to the US, the consumer) have become. MARIJUANA IS THE MOST VIOLENCE CAUSING DRUG.

              Anslinger was pefectly correct...he simply didn't understand what made him correct. Prohibition of Marijuana has created the environment in which gang warfare thrives. That's not what he meant...but it's still the truth. Legalize it, and the violence goes away....
