Though making pot legal may appear to add gas to the fire of marijuana problems, I think it is a good think to get this problem out of the courts and get it into the medical/clinical arena where it can be more easily dealt with.

Articles like this help "addicts" see that they have problems and that they can solve those problems.

As an aside, I have known many full-time users over the years and can testify that, though every user may not experience addiction-like usage and the problems that come with it, pot can be potentially dangerous for some people.

I have had several friends sink into deep depression and many who have wasted much time and money on pot.

That said, pot abuse, like alcohol abuse, shouldn't be a legal problem too. It is sufficiently difficult to handle as a medical/behavioral problem.

I agree. The pharma lobby doesn’t want the competition and the legal industry loves confiscation. Since Canada changed it’s laws we may see an uncontrollable shift from northern states within a year. It’s funny to read about ‘medical experts’ kinda like ‘diplomatic’ or ‘climate’ type experts. The term expert is losing its glow.

I’ve seen a lot of people on Reddit claiming they smoke pot every day with no physical drawbacks, but even they do usually end up admitting that they are spending $400-$500 a month on it.
