Your comments demonstrate that you have absolutely no idea what marijuana does to a person and are instead going off of assumptions pieced together from 1970’s era after school specials.
I think that lying to kids by lumping marijuana in with drugs like cocaine and heroine does our country a real disservice because it sends the message to kids that drugs are not as bad as adults make them out to be.
They see their friends smoke pot with no visible damage and they think that adults are also exaggerating the effects of cocaine and heroine (which makes them more incligned to try the latter.)
Why not legalize marijuana and then free up like 60% of our “war on drugs” budget to concentrate on border security (which would also help keep the truly bad stuff from coming across the border).
By the way...anyone that “gets high and leaves the stove on...burning down the building you are in” is not going to be dissuaded from doing so because it is a class C misdemeanor...no matter how much better you are sleeping at night.

No, my comments stem from personal experience.
We were attacked and assaulted by a neighbor who smoked pot regularly and suddenly decided we were an enemy.

No, but making drugs illegal makes them used less.
And the fewer people who are stoned, the fewer will do stupid and neglectful things.

I did not lump them in; I said that harder drugs should get harder penalties.
