There is plenty of harm caused to others by a persons use of drugs. The only reason to take them is to get high. Chasing that high leads to endless pain and misery for the users family and friends. There is the lying, the stealing (because they need the fix), and eventually the theft and other illegal activities that go along with it. If you live as a hermit and never have ANY contact with another human being then you could make the argument, not otherwise

A truth-bomb blows “arguments” like this apart six ways from Sunday.

That's just not true. Drug companies are now manufacturing a THC nose spray to control severe pain. Patients get the pain relief but not the high. There are actually benefits to marajuana.

"Chasing that high leads to endless pain and misery for the users family and friends."

That's one of the most ridiculous, co-dependent contentions I've heard in a very long time.

If those family and friends don't like it, they should remove that person from their life. When children are involved the sober parent should keep the kids.

Besides, I have lived in CA and WA all my civilian years and I have not seen any evidence of the use of pot by a parent harming a child. I have seen dozens of case where alcohol harms a family/child. That's just MY experience...but one that most people on planet earth can attest to for their own.
