I’ve never been strung out on heroin or crystal meth, either. Does that mean Inhave no credibility when I tell people that using that sh!t is a bad career move?

Using cocaine, heroin, meth, crack, LSD, et al is entirely un-American. Their production is dangerous not only to those producing them, but to anyone around the production area. If something goes wrong, there is strong possibility of explosion or other contamination that can hurt others - that can deprive others of their rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Marijuana, on the other hand, is no more dangerous than alcohol, in that aspect. If I grow a plant in my backyard, not only is it none of your business, but no one is hurt by that - no one loses their right to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. I pick the flowers and dry them in my kitchen - again, no one is hurt by that action. I smoke in the privacy of my own home? Nope, no one hurt, and it's no one's business what I do in the privacy of my own home.

At no point in the production of recreational/medical marijuana is there anything that puts anyone at risk. I don't have to cook it. I don't have to add chemicals. I simply grow, pick, dry and use it.

I don't condone legalization of any of the man-made, chemical heavy drugs. In fact, I advocate allowing addicts to die of overdose rather than using narcan. Fewer addicts = less demand. Less demand = less supply on the streets. I also strongly support the death penalty for anyone involved in the manufacture or sale of those types of drugs. They are dangerous in that they do not only affect the user, but also those around them.
