I'm not for the the criminalization either. However, it's difficult to gauge the amount of damage caused by unreported marijuana abuse. Whether its accidents around the house or local travel misshaps; families torn asunder when the breadwinner or houseparent neglects their parental responsibilities; or people who are veered off the path to success (career & social standing) & pretty much live unfulfilled lives in a blissful stupor. Not to speak of, the probable damage done to body (most notably the lungs & from lack of exercise) and to children exposed to the smoke as well as, the role model's bad example...

I was introduced to "the reefer" when I was about 29 by a Government lawyer buddy of mine who apparently didn't feel that it affected his bureaucratic skills. I, on the hand, lost some of my competitive business edge for several years & it did short term memory damage. I'm sure that it did non quantitative physical damage as well.

Just a wag here, but I'll bet that that plenty of dirt is gonna come out that this kid who got shot is in reality a scumbag punk who was up to no good.
Time will tell. And Jesse and Al will cash in regardless.

OK. I will grant you that pot does damage to the lungs. Now, lets take that out of the equation and look at the rest: I haven't seen household accidents, neglect for parental responsibility, non-success or unfulfilled lives due to pot. Instead I have seen people whose lives are affected by these types of things- some who smoke pot most others of which don't. Sure those are societal concerns, but i just don't buy that they are due to pot alone much at all.

Now, back to one's lungs. There are multiple ways to avoid much or all of the lung damage. But, I see that as the biggest red herring factor of all. If that is such an important concern in the anti-pot movement, there are other dangerous activities- known to damage lungs and other body organs- that society doesn't doesn't put a stop to or make illegal.

I agree with you that those who use pot should be responsible for themselves and their families, but not enough to intrude into their lives.

Robert my point was pot isn't all fuggin daises like the druggies pretend it is. Alcoholic, drug junkie they are equally weak to me. Addiction is a sign of weak character and conviction and prioritizing affects everyone in the pseudo scocialist utopia were attempting.....

Freedom is fine by me. But every weak pos can stand on their own or be helped by family/friends not society at large.

Addiction is a psychiatric condition.

To me, the only "weakness" is when, for example, an alcoholic/drug addict chooses not to go to AA or NA and then continues to suffer from their addiction, knowing damn well what the consequences for others will be. Otherwise, it is not a character issue to me. Don't misunderstand this to mean I don't feel they aren't culpable for bad acts. If families want to support them, good for them. As to our society supporting them- I don't want to either.

But, what is the real difference if you drink a couple glasses of scotch and I were to light a joint? Does that make us "weak"? What if we did so every day after work or on weekends? My point is, that mj is a drug of choice for some (while alcohol is for others). It's really not much of anyone else's business.

Many pot smokers are lazy POS junkies.

I don't care if its legal but I've seen it KILL my uncle at age 52 and ruin the lives of many if my friends. Most pot smokers I've only met prioritize getting high.

Yes many are functional. La de fuggin da.

You potheads and your delicate sensibilities have taken this thread off track. Drop the charges and free up the resources to go after the pot problem in Sanford.
