My father was a heavy dope smoker until I was 15. He and his friends pretty much fit the description in the article. I'm not in favor of legalizing it because it would be as problematic as alcohol if it was as widely used and alcohol is by far the most destructive drug in the US in terms of overall impact.

I think the whole pain relief argument is an obvious smokescreen (bad pun).

I don't like the federal power grab but hey there isn't much republic left in our republic anyway.

Your father didn't drink while he was smoking pot?
