More Brown (as in Bullshit) than Green

The government wants to pay more attention to pot as a serious drug.

Now, I'm someone who feels very strongly that every human should be able to get through his or her day without the need for chemical assistance, whether it's pot, Xanax, alcohol, tobacco, or hydrocodone.

But this is just bullshit. The problem with pot is that the government has treated pot like it's worse than heroin, and as a result, use has grown exponentially.

Pot isn't the great horror. What it is, however, is a competitor to drugs by companies like Eli Lilly and such and that's why the government wants to stop it. Something that grows as a weed and can cost fairly little to grow (although I imagine you need to take measures to grow good pot, like you do good tomatoes) is of concern to companies who make big money selling relaxants.
