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.

When "tax dollars" are at work .."things are taken away from you for the common good" (HC)

Your argument is hogwash. If MJ is as bad as the article you posted makes it out to be, why in the world would you favor legalizing it?
How about this: I am in favor of your right to free speech, freedom of religion, right to keep and bear arms, BUT only if you sign a waiver holding me personally non-liable for any stupid acts you commit in the exercise of the aforesaid rights. Will you gladly sign the waiver so that decent folks like myself are protected against you frying your synapses singing too many hymns in chruch, or shooting yourself in the foot while hunting?
This kind of anti-drug propaganda comes from those with a vested interest in 'solving problems' -- self-styled 'experts', half-baked therapists, counselors and some in the medical establishment. They see only one side of drug issues, and that is the very worst side, because people who are happy and successful don't often talk to therapists and counselors. A good example is this Hazeldon Foundation whose video you tout. Don't they have a vested interest in portraying MJ and all 'street drugs' as dangerous?
And of course, you talk about 'the kids'. Always the kids.
PAGING ART LINKLETTER AND HILLARY RODHAM!
I'm changing my tagline just for you...

The drug culture is a crime against children. It robs them of their true potential. All the talk about how it is an adults right to use drugs since they do not harm others is garbage.

How ironic! If you've read my earlier reply then you'll see that there is a very real chance of your doing just that!
What do you think part of the "faith based initiative" is all about? Addiction treatment? And you're quoting in your "article" from one of the biggest potential beneficiaries of such initiatives!
BWAHAHAHAHA TOO funny!

Then why not have the same limitations on tobacco and alcohol ore even fatty foods?
