Now, I will say in all honestly that, out of the many people I've known who smoke pot, I've yet to see a life physically destroyed by it. Not saying it doesn't happen, but in my near 60 years, I've yet to see it.
On the other hand, over the years I have seen dozens die or who are now disabled due the physical effects of chronic alcoholism. some people are simply going to look to stimulants to get through life.
I think a lot of the folks on this blog and we need to keep our focus on the issues that we agree on.
