The Nationwide Medicinal Marijuana Chess Tournament

Right now, as you are reading this, there are many chess games being played between Marijuana Advocates and Prohibition Advocates. A law passed here, and some roadblocks thrown up there... a group limits the amount of MMJ dispensaries in a city over here... MMJ spreads virally over there, etc...

But, what the Prohibition Advocates don't understand is, that if they are even playing the game, they've already lost. Medical Marijuana is a sham... everyone knows it. Is it good medicine? Absolutely. Do all the people who use Marijuana need it? Absolutely Not. Medicinal Marijuana is a means to an end. Of course it should be available for the people who Need it. It should also be available to the people who don't need it. If there is a market for a product, you will make more problems than you solve using prohibition. Our war on the Mexican border is a glaring example of what happens by enforcing an immoral law, and thereby creating powerful Black Markets. Having said that, there should be a black market, and the only product the black market should have to sell is human trafficking. Human trafficking... Now thats something we should spend money on trying to STOP, Yes? Instead, currently our resources are going to the chasing and  imprisonment of non-violent drug offending Americans.... and human trafficking.

The reason Prohibition Advocates will eventually lose the Chess game and ultimately the Nationwide Tournament, is they are on the wrong side of an immoral law. Prohibition is the arch nemesis of a Free Market. The Status Quo was never interested and possibly incapable of having an intellectual discussion about legalization. Medical marijuana will pass in every state eventually and when California makes it legal on November 2nd 2010, the rest of the country... and the world will follow.
