Lady Mary Jane,
You said, "...prohibition only works for a bit, people do what they want either way."
Prohibition doesn't work. Study your history. Why do you think it was repealed? Because the government saw they could make more money from taxing it than fighting it. It will be the same with marijuana. When enough people come out and say this simple truth: "Smoking a plant is not wrong", the government will swoop in and start taxing it. They have already begun this with the medical marijuana acts you see in so many state law books now.
