I sure didn’t say pot is good for you.

When I was a freshman college student I was asked to narrate a student project film on marijuana.

What I didn’t realize is that the film going with my narration was a bunch of guys on my dorm floor “passing the bong.”

In my college years I “inhaled, but didn’t smoke” pot and for my dorm mates who did it “the weed” was part of their cycles of depression, alcohol abuse, sexual license etc.

They intoxicated themselves to “medicate” their pain.

Pot can take control of people’s lives but for most of the guys in my dorm, it was something they could “take and leave.” It was “recreational” and not “addictive.”

Again, don’t let anything I am saying make you believe I endorse the smoking of pot. Its just that there are limits to what we can do with laws and law enforcement to deal with it.

I smoked dope in college, quit after graduation. I ran up on some of my old bong buddies a few years later. They were still sitting around in crappy apartments, working at convenience stores and spent most of their time listening to music, convinced that rock, pop or whatever held the great mysteries of life.

It wasn't that they were dangerous or crazy or anything. It just seemed like a wasted life.

I am not talking about being addictive. You cam become addictive to almost anything.

It’s your actions.
