PROHIBITION NOT SUPPORTED BY SCIENCE

The only reason marijuana is still illegal and will remain so for
years to come is that people who are uneducated or misinformed about
it have the power to vote. I have no doubt that legalization has
crossed the minds of many politicians; politicians who would probably
rather not gamble on votes by supporting this cause. The minority of
voters who still support prohibition should be taught the real facts
from scientific studies, not word of mouth.
