Well I didnt manage to get a degree or anything, unless you wanna count the degree i'm up for, for trading in my on the job and real world experience for a legit Master's Degree in Computer Science.

Exactly and if a doctor can actually recommend a scubscription, should say one thing about this as well.

Exactly, im with you on that note. President Clinton Smoked Pot, but he says he didnt inhale, but thats another story another day right

Exactly, it really isnt addictive, those that choose to smoke it on a daily basis and 7 or more joints a day, usually do so to keep their mind away from a personal battle they are fighting, but thats another story another day.

Also, can anyone explain to me which western country has managed to achieve any results with the banning of this substance?

I'm whilling to bet, if the US made it available in the store next to all the other Cigarrettes, I bet you anything you would see a huge impact in the Tobaco econony. More people would buy, especially if they know they can buy it at their own free will and not worry about the consequences of getting caught, but then a move like that would most likely push certain drub pushers out of business, and given how the US lets certain well known drug traffic distributors in thats another story another day.

Exactly, there are so many different versions of marijuana, some good effects and some bad effects
