Its certainly not a good thing to smoke pot, but its also not a good thing to drink, but that’s what most people I work with do when they break off from work on Friday.

Drugs, alcohol and other things like porn can all be addictive. I hope people don’t become dependent on any of them and live their lives enslaved to them.

But there are limits to what you or I can do to deal with these matters.

The people who are using the pot will have to figure out that its “good for them” or “bad for them” without the cops knocking on everybody’s door.

I can live with that but legalistic people who are hiding their own faults with moral outrage against “drugs” can’t, so we have all the laws, police etc.

As for what Sarah Palin is said to have said, I don’t know why we are reading about this other than its just more of the trash Sarah Palin propaganda eminating from the Left and RINO’s.

worth repeating. Best post on this thread.

side note: I remember seeing “Reefer Madness” in grammar school. It was the first time I ever heard of Marijuana. Thank you teachers for introducing me to pot, which I enjoyed in my youth.

When I went to elementary school they sent drug addicts around to speak to us.

I’m not sure what effect it had on me, but I did “experiment” with inhalants like paint thinner for a few years as a teenager.

I figured out the stuff was bad and so was alcohol for that matter.

People often need other people like “Alcoholics Anonymous” and such to find “God” and a “Higher Power” to stop “drinking” and “getting drunk.”

The police state approach is not going to get us off of drugs (from the pharmacy or from the street).
