Prohibition of marijuana is more like the prohibition of every other illegal drug. Alcohol prohibition started organized crime.

Umm... well seeing as marijuana was prohibited for much much longer than alcohol i would have to say no... And with ciggarette smoking becoming more and more frowned upon, i don't think it will ever be legal.. but heres hoping..!! [:)

As long as drugs are illegal, there will be crime as a result of it. There is NO end to the war on drugs.

No, not at all. Marijuana is alot more harmful to your body than alcohol is.

I think most people think marijuana leads to other drugs, which it doesn't necessarily. I'd rather smoke a doobie than drink.

They did, until they realized that cocaine was easier to ship and was a more profitable business. There are criminal organizations who manufacture and sell marijuana and other drugs, DaWeirdo.

Alcohol is pure poison, it ravages your body. Marijuana is a natural herb with many medicinal properties. There are no medicinal properties to alcohol, besides it being used for disenfecting.

Marijana is, in most cases, actually less harmful than booz or cigs. I don't understand the point of it all, there are worse things for you that are legal.

I agree with the many people who say that marijuana isnt as bad for you as alcohol...it comes from a plant that is all natural, unlike cigarettes that have the addictive drug "nicotine" in it. Also marijuana isnt near as harmful to your lungs as cigarettes. As far as the prohibition being the same as the one against alcohol, i dont believe that it is the same because marijuana is considered an illegal "drug" and alcohol isnt a drug. I do think more people want to smoke marijuana because it is illegal though (versus things that are not illegal)

Anyway, I don't think it's the same, as marijuana has been illegal longer than most people can remember. Prohibition of alcohol was sudden and people couldn't adjust.
