A number of years ago, the group of people addicted to marihuana had risen to an enormous size.
Many of these people were sent to rehabilitation centra, to be payed for by the government. But a certain group was too old, or at least, they had reached a certain age where it would be too risky to put them through rehab as their bodies might not be able to take it.
For these people, new homes were built. Like old-folks homes, only then, instead of (or with) medication, marihuana was supplied.
Now, that may seem like a good solution but when you think it could all have been avoided had marihuana never been legalised in the first place ... well ... it makes me feel a little nautious.
A patch for a gunshot wound imo.

Well, if that's the reason then I think you're issue is more with the rehabilitation efforts than with the lack of restriction on marijuana. First of all, marijuana is not physically addictive, so I fail to see how anyone would be adversely affected by quitting. Second, our government is a bit strange sometimes, if it were up to me, I do away with the rehabilitation programs. If people can't control their marijuana use then they should have to pay to be rehabilitated, though I think that it's terribly weak of them to need such things. I remember, I used to smoke like a chimney in highschool, and then I quit when I went into the army, it's not really that hard.
I never smoked a ciggarette/cigar and never will. The only thing i've smoked is Arabic light flavoured tobacco "Shisha." As anyone who knows it, they know it doesn't even count. I didn't smoke it regularly because i knew some of the tobacco must go threw the water. I also quit because it's worst side affect is that it shortens your breath which made me non last all the 90 minutes during football games 
(football comes first )
Anyway, back to real stuff. I made a vow/bet to someone years ago that I'll never smoke cigarettes/cigars, drink alcohol, or do any drugs. It's been 6 years and I'm still clean.
That's not to say that this is my main reason for not smoking.
I dont believe that we have the right to f*ck up our own bodies. no matter how little the effect is, it's still not worth it. Its many damages outweigh its few advantages.
Miss Dubai said it and i'll repeat it:
1. It's a waste of money
2. it's a disguesting habit and smoking is rude to other non-smokers. Just as i wont buy a cologne that smells like shit (even if i do like it, most won't) because it'll bother others.
3. It's bad for the health and higene. (sp?)
For the many who have tried out of peer pressure, no offense, but i also agree with Martin that it was due to a weak personality.

Don't ask me. That's just what the newspaper articles said.
I second that entire sentence.
Well to some extend. There's something to be said for what the minister back then argued: "The government started this experiment in all consciousness, it should now be there for the victims of it." (or something similar, don't remember what words she used exactly)
