The wrong drug is legal.

When I allow my 48 man crew off the boat for a night in town here in the Aleutians, I'd rather see them come back six hours later stoned than drunk.

The drunks are loud, obstinate, belligerent and violent. They exhibit disgraceful behavior, even for sailors.

The buzz kings are passive and quiet. Their worst behavior is leaving unwashed ice cream dishes in the sink. They agree to what I, authority, tell them to do and cause no problems. They are ready to work the next morning whereas the boozers are hung over and barely manageable.

I've seen it thousands of times. The wrong drug is legal.

Heard a similar report from an artillery officer in Vietnam. The drunken soldier is useless. The stoned soldier is still functional to a degree, can still do some things.

I agree. I have employed people for ten years. Never once has one of them called in because he smoked to much pot the night before. I would like a dollar for every time one came in hung over, or called in sick because they drank to much.

No. MJ should also be legal.

Interesting.
