I understand where you are coming from but we don't have prisons full of gay's and we don't spend billions trying to keep people from becoming gay.

It costs too much to worry about pot. The idea would be to allow it in private homes but not in public. No pot bars, no pot sales at the grocery store,etc. If you have a car wreck while high it should be treated like a dui.

Actually the losers who smoke pot will eventually end up in the criminal justice system sooner or later for other reasons and the ones who don't, well no harm no foul.

"The idea would be to allow it in private homes but not in public."

They tried that in Alaska, actually. Up to 4 ounces, in your home only, was legal for adults.

Then the University of Alaska did a study in 1988 and found that twice as many Alaskan teens were using pot as the lower 48. The parents went ape, pushed for and passed a public referendum in 1990, and made pot illegal again.

Teen use dropped to that of the rest of the country. Maybe you don't care. I do.
