In theory, you are right; the problem is that in practice our personal liberty will be infringed by more of our money being taken to support the stoners when they become unemployable. It will be declared a disease, as they have done with alcoholism, and they'll get to mooch off of us for life!

Nanny staters just love reading comments like that. So you want to ban alcohol? If not, why not? It costs 'society' more than pot. What about fatty foods and large slurpees?

Here's an idea. Why not honor the Tenth Amendment and get the feds out of intrastate pot regulation and let the states decide?

No, I simply want those who self-abuse by risky behaviors to be responsible for their own well-being. I don't want the hand of government in my pocket to help them party or to mitigate the results of their partying.
