Yeah, MaryJane is bad for the kiddies. So is Mountain Dew, potatoe chips, Marlboro's and vodka. I didn't eat, drink, or smoke any of that stuff when I was young, mostly I still don't, and the result is that I am pretty dang healthy now at 58. I figure old age will get me before any degenerative diseases that I initiate now. So my question is if I want to smoke a joint why is it any of anybodies damn business?

It assists in dividing, isolating and dumbing down America. I am in favor of legalizing pot but only if the people that smoke it will sign a waiver that I wont have to take care of their dumb ass when they fry their synapse and receptors with tax dollars. I already do but not by choice.

> Frankly, I could care less, but when you guys smoke and drive (or drink, sniff, snort, shoot or swallow and drive) it potentially affects others. Other than the dude who ate Twinkies and used it for a murder defense, I've never heard of a guy high on potato chips causing an accident. But, you say, alcohol is legal.

Yes, but I can sit by a person who is having a drink, and it doesn't affect me until he gets into his car and drives into somebody or loses his temper, etc. I would have to smell the pot, and I don't want to do that. If you do it by yourself or sit around with a group of buddies and contemplate things, nobody will likely bother you while you're doing it in the privacy of your home.
