Reply #4: That's not the underlying issue

It's been an argument for decades that the sheer numbers of users prove how ineffective and pointless these laws are.

But that hasn't changed things much because that's not the issue. The issue is the billions Big Pharma stands to lose if pot were made legal. OTC medication is bullshit. Most people think it cures common ailments, but all it does is make you feel better until your body cures itself naturally. But give people that knowledge, and make pot legal, and suddenly Tylenol and Advil aren't household names anymore.
