What kind of a sick society do we have when people have to drug themselves against reality in order to get through their day? Are these the people who would have settled the West? No. Are these the people who would have stormed the beach at Normandy? No. These are weaklings who never developed grit.

I am NOT in favor of legalizing marijuana because I don't feel like giving a green light to its irresponsible use by drivers. The lanes are narrow enough here in NYC and it's enough challenge to keep your car on the straight and narrow. It is beyond frightening to think that a vehicle weighing thousands of pounds and traveling at 30 mph or more is piloted by someone under the influence in the lane to your right and to your left, whether it be alcohol or dope. Legalizing marijuana would remove any stigma to using it and would contribute to its careless use while driving. No thanks!

Alcohol used to be MUCH more prevalent than it is today. There are records of rail road workers being paid in alcohol. Many "medicines" were nothing more than flavored alcohol.

We have been "drugging" ourselves for a loooong time.

I am not in favor of legalizing marijuana, but I do think it should be a state by state issue.
