So?

I have the God given right to grow and use Marijuana. Imagine if people could get high just as easily off dandylions. Boy oh boy would the nanny state have it's hands full.

BTW, I must re-iterate that I haven't touched the stuff since 1977 and was shocked to find my friend (a manager at Microsoft in his late 40's) sharing a bong with friends in his backyard at a party LITERALLY trying to hide it from my observation.

I think the stuff is really stupid, outside real medical applications. But from my perspective it is a rights issue.

I can see someone at home with a very small amount doing their thing in private and never having any trouble. If they get caught they get a ticket.

If they were getting high at home with kids, of course if they were watching the kids then Children's Services would need to remove the kids from the home as an unsafe environment.

It isn't a rights or freedom issue, it is a law enforcement issue.
The FDA already said no to solvents, glue sniffing, pot and other drugs because they pose a danger to society in general. We sure get a bill from rehab, hospitals and grave sites from these folks.
