http://tinyurl.com/6ga25Prohibition is a world wide phenomenon led by a cult mentality-
http://www.cedro-uva.org/lib/cohen.church.html and
http://tinyurl.com/3j3zs They do not let reason or popular opinion affect their call for eternal prohibition.
The argument this guy makes could also be made with the Sherman Anti-Trust laws in regards to cannabis as medicine. It is anybody's guess as to how much Free Cannabis would do to pill profits. It certainly is reasonable to think that one-quarter of all pharma sales would be erased with Free Cannabis.
But there is no intellectual support for cannabis prohibition. You do not have people donating money, outside of the taxpayer billions, to drive cannabis off the planet. It is just the opposite and if there were not a tyranny to our laws and government, people would be out on the corners preaching to end this godawful prohibition at the top of their lungs.
But because prohibition is dying and has no sound defense of its existance in a real free country, what this guy says might the out when the prohibitionists know that the murder, robbery and insanity cannot survive.
