Why does it bother you if people use cannabis responsibly for recreation in the privacy of their homes? If people are legally permitted (as they are & should always be) to drink themselves stupid, why shouldn’t others be legally allowed to use cannabis similarly? Prohibition has proven to be ineffective & a unnecessary impediment to LIBERTY. It creates far more crime & cost than it ever prevented. There is NOTHING moral about prohibition.

I think one of the reasons many of us don't like the legalization of pot is that it seems to simply relax people to the point where they aren't particularly concerned with bettering themselves. Now, that would be fine with me but for two things: One, if they have children, those children are going to suffer, and two, every failure they have in their lives, liberals will want a government program to address it, and taxes will go up, and up, and up, and up.

And before you assure me that you and all your toking friends are the best parents in the world, let me state that I'm a public school teacher, have been for 12 years, and the overall state of things is that potheads are not terribly involved parents, and their kids get the bright idea that pot is cool. At age 11. And they start using it. End result: they can't get through school, they're too busy giggling hysterically or falling asleep in class, or desperately texting their friends to see where they can get more.
