Right. They could make caffeine illegal and have raids on Starbucks. Police controlled state much?
Except that's a fully retarded anecdote. Sure, you could argue that caffeine is dangerous in high doses, but it's exceedingly high and there's no way except for popping tons of no-doze for it to have any seriously harmful effects. There's no good reason to outlaw caffeine, but Marijuana is ALREADY illegal and this is basically a way to get around it. You may disagree with it being illegal, and that's certainly within your rights. I wouldn't even disagree with you there seeing as alcohol destroys many more lives and it's legal, though it is controlled by what? You guessed it, laws!

Hell there's already another form of synthetic Marijuana, Marinol. It's a schedule drug because of it's nature, and it was developed before this stuff. The difference is that it went through legal channels rather than side-stepping the laws in place for the substance. Again, you may not agree with the laws, and again, bitching about that is certainly within your rights. However don't you think it'd be more effective to quit playing armchair politics and actually consider raising some points to, or becoming one of, the people that could actually make something happen?


TL;DR version: Quit bitching and do something about it. You can't bitch about "Police states" if you're too lazy to actually get off your ass and change something. If it's that bad, DO SOMETHING.
