My stepson has an aunt in California that is so addicted to pot she does it all day [...]

Studies have shown that the addictive potential of marijuana is less than that of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco.

[...] This woman is in her late 60’s for heavens sake. She was a flower child in the sixties. Go figure.

Go figure what? Are you saying that she is infringing upon anyone else's rights or is a menace to society? That she belongs behind bars?

Regards,

No. My point is that her addiction is so strong she can’t even control it around my stepson and I beg to differ about it being less addictive than the above ^. His aunt cannot function without it and I have known other addicts that are the same. this doesn’t mean they are criminals but I wouldn’t want to be in the same car when they are driving and wouldnt trust them to operate heavy equipment safely (I do know of a heavy crane operator that dropped a port’o’potty on a co-workers head at a construction site because he made errors in judgment on distance while operating a crane; killed the guy instantly; I know...what a way to go). In addition it makes people lethargic and apathetic; something I’ve seen with my own eyes a lot when I was younger. Again I’m not saying that people who smoke marijuana are criminals; it’s just something I choose not to do because of the above.
