   It is so true.  What the marijuana fear mongers neglect to consider or are   
   too stupid to realize is that if a large percentage of our country's   
   recreational alcohol drinkers switched to marijuana, the nation would   
   actually be much more productive and innovative.  Marijuana stimulates   
   creativity and if used responsibly, that would be a good thing for society.   
      
   They can't get past the fear thet everyone would get "hooked" and no work   
   would get done.  It is a wall built on a foundation of ignorance.
