Smoking pot isn't comparable to abortion. I think the reason why the other poster mentioned it is because smoking pot is a vice, as opposed to something virtuous, and can be categorized as hedonistic because the only reason to engage in it is to get high. And of course the effects one gets from smoking, i.e, laziness, loss of sexual inhibitions, gluttony, are also classified as vice.

As long as he throws drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, eating junk food, and vain cosmetic surgery to the list, I have no problems...
