Note that a guy who smokes 10 joints a day, every day, is completely capable of testifying before a legislative committee in a sober, rational way.

Try that after drinking beer, wine or booze all day, every day, since 1982.

Ten joints a day would classify any pot smoker as a heavy abuser by our current standards, yet this man obviously can function normally in society. Perhaps the “standards” need some rethinking.

Also note that he is a stockbroker - quite a responsible, demanding job, not the stereotypical lazy hippie that the drug warriors like to use as the example of a pot smoker.

Do you think the government has the right to tell you what you may & may not consume?

Some "conservatives" think the government has the right to tell OTHERS what THEY may & may not consume - if the government comes after their booze, smokes, or Big Gulps they'll sing a different tune.

His boast has shades of Sandra Fluke’s $3000 a month bill for birth control...
