Why are we giving our nine-year-old a marijuana cookie.

Bad analogy by Mouse, but drinkers who are against marijuana for reasons other than legal are just being hypocrites. Alcohol was illegal at one time, and many of the wealthy families in the US got that way by selling an illegal substance that people wanted.

When it's your child in pain you will do whatever you can. If this parent feels pot can help, more power to them. Politics, laws, personal opinions slide down the importance scale when it's your kid.

Sirota: Legalizing marijuana is now a ‘mainstream’ position

The slow drumbeat to legalizing marijuana in America continued Friday evening when Salon.com columnist David Sirota appeared on Current TV’s The Young Turks.

Sirota mentioned a recent Gallup poll in which half of Americans support legalizing marijuana, with 77 percent also backing medical marijuana. With those figures, Sirota and host Cenk Uygur slammed White House and Washington figures still viewing marijuana legalization as a radical idea.

“I think if you look at those numbers like that, what you see is the mainstream, centrist position, is to support legalizing marijuana,” he said. “And the extremists are those who continue to fight the drug war.”
