Pot is not a very dangerous drug, because it is not at addictive, although it may be habit-forming, these are not the same things. Cigarettes are much worse since you need them so much more often once you get addicted. I really don't care about how high the cigarette taxes go, people just need to stop using them.
Oh, I also think that if the government is going to put a high tax on unhealthy things, then there should be an enourmous fast food tax to encourage people to eat actual food instead of greasy garbage.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
