"Actually there was a study done in Britain that showed people who had smoked pot drove better

I'd like to see a credible study that proves pot improves coordination in the average person. HA!

Back in college, I'd shoot my best pool with 2 beers. But, I know my coordination drops off precipitously after a few more (no one who drinks believes this of them self - they're always smarter, funnier, a better driver, etc. after more drink). I could still run the tables since I was quite a bit better then average. That didn't mean my performance was enhanced by booze, it just didn't degrade my level down to average.

As for second hand smoke, if pot was legalized just like cigarettes, of course people would be subjected to it without consent (esp kids of smoking parents). My body can't handle being around smoke anymore and I'm damn glad that the smoking Nazis have made it illegal to light up in most public places. No one has the right to make me sick just because I want to grab a bite to eat somewhere besides my own kitchen.

As for second hand smoke, if pot was legalized just like cigarettes, of course people would be subjected to it without consent (esp kids of smoking parents).

Since all the studies done showing harm from second hand tobacco smoke were found to be bogus that is meaningless. Not to mention that it is not governments's place to tell parents how to raise their children.

That explains a lot. You're not a conservative you're a liberal statist. You don't believe in property rights. You don't expect me to have sympathy for a communist do you?
