Will there be a time when a majority look at how we have stigmatized and prevented marijuana use so vocally and with such dire criminal consequences when it could have been used to help in the proper channels? I strongly believe a lot of science is not done on marijuana because of the vocal critics or the fear of vocal critics. Just in the US, certain people can be pretty vindictive when it comes to their causes.

Of course. It will be no different than the way we look at the idea of the Earth being flat today.

>I strongly believe a lot of science is not done on marijuana because of the vocal critics or the fear of vocal critics. That appears to be changing for the better. The most important thing is to somehow make sure that non-physicians and non-scientists such as the DEA are removed from the decision making process (of what gets studied, and of drug scheduling). >Just in the US, certain people can be pretty vindictive when it comes to their causes. I hope that it isn't vindictiveness. I've always assumed that it is either an inability to sympathize, or an indifference to other peoples' suffering; also, ignorance.
