Yeah, and keeping alcohol illegal would have saved countless livers.
I don't want or need the government telling me what I can or cannot put into my body.
I smoke pot almost daily. I have a good job I enjoy, a wonderful wife and a modest home that we own. The only difference between me and anybody else is that I smoke a joint in the evening to relax instead of drinking a beer or cocktail. I have not been to a bar to drink in years.
People who smoke weed know that it is less harsh on your body and mind than alcohol. I'm not touting it as "wonder-weed", mind you, it's an intoxicant, but one of the mildest aside from caffiene and nicotine.
This is a personal freedom issue. Nobody should be able to tell me, in the Land of Liberty, that I cannot smoke a naturally occuring plant in the privacy of my own home.
Geez, if all the dopers marijuana users smoked at home like you there wouldn't be 700,000 marijuana arrests each year.
I guess we can conclude that there are quite a few pot smokers out there that aren't as responsible (using the term loosely) as you. I bet they're not as successful either.
As a matter of fact, I'd bet that you're not even a good example of the average pot smoker now are you?
