NobleFree,

You must be a user or a proponent of recreational marijuana. Believe me, if members of your family fell prey to this substance, you’d be backing me up 100%. Marijuana is anything but recreational.

[NobleFree]

44% of Americans have used marijuana, but only 9.2% have in the past year used any other illicit drug (and almost all of them were misusing prescription drugs). [...] I'm not advocating that anyone use any drug, legal or illegal.

You must be a user or a proponent of recreational marijuana.

I just told you I'm not a proponent. And I haven't used pot, alcohol, or any other drug (OK, caffeine) in over 20 years. I simply value truth over falsehood.

"...Marijuana is anything but recreational...."

I have smoked, and now more recently vaped MJ just about every single day almost for the last 30 years.

I am a productive member of society. I am not a liberal. I am responsible and provide for my family.

With all the real dangers and hard drugs out there today, the phrase "falling victim to MJ" is just plain silly.

That said, I do not want my children or any children to ever try it before they are full adults. I affects brain development in youngsters.
