Do you support the same conditions for alcohol? You drink it, you bear the costs? You drink it and commit a crime, then you will die? If not, why not?
Every pot smoker I've ever met has been or become a dope head. They've let the drug make them into losers. Every last one of them.
That is most likely incorrect. Chances are, without even knowing it, you've met some successful, non-dope-head people who smoke marijuana;
Marijuana has widespread harm in society because of increased accidents, increased incidence of violence, crime and other substance abuse by users, and harmful effects on children. The media have suppressed this information to help their criminal overlords, but if the US government relents, and lets drugs take over, the overall effects will devastate this country before the average person realizes and can react.
From my little corner of the world and casual observations over the past 40 years or so I have concluded alcohol is much worse than pot. Personally, I like beer and drink it several times a week, haven’t been drunk since the day I got married 20+ years ago. I have several good friends that smoke pot that are in their ‘60’s and I suppose have been doing it for 40 years. They appear to handle it ok but I’d rather not be around some of them if they decide to drink alcohol. I work with a guy in his 40’s that has destroyed his liver, another coworker passed away from alcohol abuse several years ago, I know several people that got caught drinking and driving, I know of many that lost their lives in alcohol related crashes, I could go on.
I don’t smoke anything, tried cigarettes once and pot once, ingesting smoke is just not a pleasant experience for me. But I am certain if I wanted to get some pot I could find it easily, the war ain’t working and never will, no different than prohibition.
Leave it to the States. Employers will still be the ultimate policing authority.
On a side note, I saw a beautiful tree last week that I fgured out was called an Angel’s Trumpet. I did some research into where I could get one and if it would survive the winter temps around here. Very interesting plant that according to the reasoning of many on here should be banned.
Yes. and Yes. However the incidence of people drinking alcohol committing crimes is so much lower than the incidence of dopers committing crimes. (once you discount DUIs. I should have been more complete in my original post)

It was said in an earlier post that I need to get out more. This may be true. I live in a very conservative area and I associate almost entirely with church going Christians. The people who I know are dopers are also losers. I do not know of any others who smoke. The people I would suspect of being even occasional dopers are the sort of people who I count as losers anyway.
