I really don't care if weed is a wonder medicine. I also don't care about making paper out of it, or all that other stuff. Don't get me wrong, that stuff is all great, but I just want to be able to smoke it legally. I am not sick, I just enjoy smoking the stuff once in a while. I pay taxes, I work hard, I never use a sick day. I am a moral person. I value my family, hard work, and the American way. I just can't understand why anybody would be concerned that I smoke a bowl or two in the quiet of the evening.

I agree completely, but I often hear that the medical use is a fraud. It clearly is not and that much needs to be established.

I'm with you. I'd like to smoke a bowl or two in the evening too, but then there is always the possibility of a random urine sample or pre-employment screening so...maybe someday. IMO it's ultimately a control thing.

I used to stop almost every evening at the same store on my way home from work. Most evenings I ran into the head of security for the company I work for and he'd be buying his nightly 6 or 12 pack. He had spoken about the 'charge' he got out of performing the company pre-hire and random drug tests... weeding out all those druggies doncha know. The irony, I believe, was lost on him.
