I used to smoke pot — back in that decade between the sixties and the eighties. Pot is not addictive, but it is a complete waste of life if too much is smoked. These days, if you are smoking pot, you are probably slumming with trash, and not achieving what you might. It is a bad habit. But it is not addictive.
There are far worse things happening, for example, redistribution of property. I’d gladly suffer pot heads roaming the streets, if they and their allies were not consuming my property and liberty.
Let them have their lifestyle, and shoot them if they try to take yours.
Pot back then was a totally different animal. Have you ever watched someone die from COPD? I wouldn't wish that on anyone and the modern, genetically modified pot sold today deposits 5x the amount of tar in the lungs.
I have had quite a few long-term pot users who told me they were addicted. And due to random drug screens on the job, they would gamble their livelihood, even though they had a wife and kids to support.
