Yup! I took a chance in posting that to you because from what you’ve written so far, you don’t seem to smoke. So my posting may not even apply to your situation. :-D

Anyways, glad I was able to give you a good laugh.

I’m just trying to present original ways to fight for my side of the aisle on these pot threads. Hope to get your side to see things in new ways, too.

Btw: I love Vegas!

I appreciate that. And I can agree with quite alot of the opposing arguments. I had a SERIOUS drug problem from ages 15-20. Weed, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, crack... anything that didn’t require a needle. Devastating to me and my family.

The Grace of God saved me, and turned me into the person I am today, 30 years later. I am a hospice nurse now, and work around copious quantities of heavy narcotics. I have no need or desire for chemically altered states of mind.

However, I think my experiences have given me a somewhat-unique perspective on recreational drug use and medicinal marijuana use.

Kids should never use any mood altering chemical, and that includes pharmaceuticals except in extreme, rare cases. Too many kids play with drugs, or are put on psychoactive pharmaceuticals for the flimsiest of reasons. I have personally witnessed alleviation of terrible symptoms in my patients by use of both smoked marijuana and MJ-derivatives. (Not scientific proof but good enough for my mind)

Lastly, the WoD has done terrible things to the freedoms we once enjoyed in this Nation.

My point is this: the drug problems we have in this Nation can be solved by means other than heavy-handed Goobermint intrusions, wielded by self-righteous moralists. My sins are my own, and are between me and God.
