I don't know and it ain't my business (I don't do drugs)...except for the gubment taxing me more to pay for other people's welfare. For as long as the gubment does that I have a vested interest in keeping as few people from doing pot or other drugs as possible.

I remember during whichever legalization campaign locally they promised 1)No harmful effects and 2)They would fund addiction programs.

In hindsight I don't know if they were programs to treat addiction, or cause it.

I'm good with the so-called libertarian approach. You do what you want, you're on your own. Should you end up in a gutter, lay there until you get better, or die. Steal from me to support your habit, prepare to be 'resisted.'

I was 'blessed' to to grow up in a household with two addict parents. It's given me an unfailing BS meter, and I can tell you it's been pegged repeatedly on this thread.

Why would you F#$K with your body or mind like that? Life is an amazing event and ends too soon for most of us. Who has so much IQ they're willing to p!ss it away?

I'm in agreement.

And I'm crazy for Jesus. I believe that encouraging others into loving and trusting Christ solves most of the problems we face and, staying on topic, discourages drug use when you like how you're brain is thinking and operating to fulfil your God given purpose.

I also believe that trying to stop others from doing what they want is often very ineffective (i.e. the war on drugs). So as much as I'd like to not have a society full of dope heads, I think the best way to solve it is to quit postponing the consequences of dumb choices. That's what welfare does -- masks the consequences of dumb choices my making others pay for them.
