What a giant leap!
We started off discussing the concept of persons at a "hempfest" partaking of the herb and now you have provided a link to the biography of a crack cocaine whore who started off her troubles as theft prone teen who moved on to alcohol and ultimately selling her body to get crack cocaine.
It was an interesting story and I'll quote a few lines of it that show just how irrelevant it is to marijuana use.:
---
(snip)"Problem child Maggie grew up in Freeport, Long Island, the youngest girl in a family of four sons and three daughters. Red-haired and petite, Maggie was "the happiest kid, always happy-go-lucky," her sister Dorothy remembers.
But Maggie's life of crime started early — around 10 — when she stole porcelain dolls from a neighbor's collection.
By the time Maggie hit her teens, nobody could control her.
Maggie's memories of her father are vivid and limited. He bought cases of beer in quart bottles. Ballantine and Piels. Her mother, Alice, raised seven kids and drank Canadian Club with beer chasers.
"I remember my dad carrying her to bed after she passed out," Maggie recalls.
She started drinking at 15 or 16 when she and her little brother, Kevin, tapped dad's beer supply.
Five of the seven Williams children became alcoholics, says Dorothy, a retired certified legal assistant who lives in South Carolina. "Only Barbara and I weren't."
(Kevin died of cirrhosis in 1989 at 33.)"(snip)

Thanks for the link - but - I'll take my chances with good old marijuana and continue to be called one-beer Billy.
So...alcohol is a bad drug and so is crack, but marijuana is...good?
