Modern science is making giant strides in determining that marijuana has some health benefits. I'm sure it will soon be legalised.
I'm glad. Not that, at my ripe age, I intend to take up the habit. It has never been my dream to climb the Everest. But junkies will no longer need to take up sport to justify their drug addiction. They can just smoke it on the street and get off my television set.
Furthermore, I feel very happy for President Obama's economic advisers. They must be rubbing their hands at the prospect of a new tax on marijuana production.
If only scientists could find a medical use for cocaine! I imagine the US deficit would then be solved in a sniff.
