Should we need to see a doctor for every beneficial medicine? Should I need a prescription for aspirin, or Benedryl as well?

Why do you keep making these absurd statements? Who exactly has said "legalize it all" or "have a ball", implying that we should make all drugs freely available to anyone? This general discussion is about the legalization of pot, and the sale/distribution through controlled channels. It has never been about "legalize it all and have a ball".

Is it your honest belief that 50% of the population is in favor of freely available marijuana and consumption to the extent that "stoned" becomes the default state of most people?

It's a matter of a punishment/crime disparity.
