I, for one, have never really cared one way or the other if people choose to smoke pot. My experience is that it appears to make most people dumber and slower. But it also seems to make some people happy and fall asleep, which I view as a real positive. Especially the part about putting them to sleep.

But I certainly don’t think that my long-developed and strongly held views against using drugs should be inflicted upon other people to whom I have no responsibility. Nor do I believe that someone else’s devotion to a weed pipe in any way impinges upon some high morals or precious views that I might hold.

Yeah? I wonder if this moron would mind it if the doper worked on his car brakes or on the jet engines of the airline he would book a flight for.

This guy's libertarian attitude is what allows the American civilization to degrade. If there are no standards, there is no strength and no quality. Americans may as well give themselves over to the gangs south of the border. Why enforce anything if it doesn't affect one personally?

****I, for one, have never really cared one way or the other if people choose to smoke pot***

I figure that the Politicians will move to legalize pot everywhere after they see the tax revenue from the sales, just like they have legalized gambling, lottery tickets and other things which produce HUGE tax revenue.

They can legalize pot for all I care, it would cut off the money from the narco thugs in the south.

It is only fair considering we pay for cigarette smokers, drinkers, and fat bodies. Go ahead and single out cannabis users if that helps your shrinking self righteousness.

Before we legalize marijuana, we need to abolish the welfare state. We also need to forbid liberals and the mentally ill from purchasing pot. Only after all of those factors are met would it be potentially acceptable, and even then I have my doubts.

Waiting for those ads by the American Lung Assn., American Heart Assn., etc. decrying smoking cigarettes, e-cigarettes and cigars but hedging on pot with “toking ain’t really smoking”.
