"but it's not my job, nor yours, nor the governments, to say that someone shouldn't be allowed to get all tore up at home."

750,000 marijuana arrests last year. How many do you think were arrested while getting "all tore up at home"? Maybe 4?

I know you'd like us all to think that marijuana users are bothering no one, responsibly smoking a half-joint every other day "just to relax" in the privacy of their living room.

Obviously I, for one, don't.

And how many of these arrests were for, say, driving under the influence of pot, as opposed to being arrested for simply having the stuff? I suspect rather more of the latter than the former.

If pot had the same legal status as booze, that would mean driving stoned would still be illegal.... but it would not longer be a crime to have a joint - or a barn full of the stuff.

Who are pot smokers bothering, compared to the carnage inflicted upon society by the booze drinkers?
