I go back and forth on the legalization of pot. Do we really need one more legal thing for people to become addicted to? No, nor do I think all pot smokers are addicts on their way to becoming heroin users..On the other hand how is the recreational pot smoker different from the social drinker? I have personally seen the benefits of the medical use of marijuana.

Do I think your friends are criminals incapable of being responsible business owners and should be in jail till they mend their evil ways?No way.

My point to my comments regarding this young man is that no matter where we stand on this issue it it is still illegal and we suffer the consequences if caught. He also decided that he would rather smoke pot than be employed. His choice of smoking pot has messed up his life. He has been in trouble with the law, kicked out of school because of this. Is he a horrible kid? No he isn't, just likes to get high and he has troubles because of it.

All his troubles seem to be related to the prohibiton of pot, not pot itself. At least the troubles you mention (employers drug testing, trouble with the law, being kicked out of school), unless there are certain details I don't know about there.
