Well, if I understand you, of course it is BS, but the drug laws are all 
BS anyway, and my point, which I guess was not too clear, was that if we 
are ever gonna get dope decriminalized, we will either havta quit putting 
lawyers in legislative office,... or decriminalize it in such a way that 
the lawyers will still make money out of it... which the transfer to the 
civil court does. 
 
I have been online off and on since 83' and this issue has been up the 
whole time with very little result until the medical use laws.  If we're 
gonna get any more, we will havta be a little more realistic about the 
dependance of the legal community on drug money. 
 
The civil court can handle *all* drugs in the same way... prove damange 
to the jury, which would indeed be difficult with dope, but easy with a 
white powder like crack or crank.  It would also be easy to prove the 
personal responsibility of adults, but easy to prosecute those who deal 
to minors
