So you admit "Potheads" can commit horrible deeds? As you said, anybody can. Please recognize that potheads aren't doing it because they are potheads. Pot is not the cause of the problem. I also suspect they do it at a much lower rate than the rest of the population.

Wow. We are having a fight, and we still like each other! Cool!
Usually there is a reason why potheads become potheads, I suspect because they are avoiding something. That can lead to ever stronger drugs.
Recent studies show that smoking marijuana causes changes in the brain that are passed on to the children. Not a good thing in my book.

I prefer to base my opinions from observing and listening to pot heads.
Again, i cherish my long earned experience on this subject too.

I've been around potheads and boozers all my life! Not saying all,but most potheads go to the limits on smoking up,they get totally wasted to where they are half asleep,motion skills are terrible,speech stumbled....Yes they did harder drugs when they couldn't buy the pot! Ok,cancer victims I can see using pot...Or if someone wants a toke to take the edge off,than ok...Most abuse the stuff,just as drunks abuse booze! To each his own(As some say),but stay off our public roads if driving!!!Stay away from my family and stay away from me,I have no use with users,plain and simple!!! The same goes for boozers(drunks)!!! PS: I have also "earned experience" around and with pot and booze.....Its been 40 since my last use on drugs and 15 years with quitting booze!

Substance folks do have a lot of similar issues. Though more harmless than other drugs it is a substance abuse potential.
As long as they are responsible around me i'm fine with it.

We have a member here that likes to use a very well known white powder. He seems to be both productive and harmless.
Why do you care what people put in their bodies? If you say "drugs should be illegal because I think it is wrong" what is to stop someone else from saying "you cannot enjoy your cup of tea. It is wrong and very addictive. It must be prohibited."
The point is, it's none of my business what you do to your body. I will stay out of your business. You should stay out of mine. If a pot head is runnng away from some thing, that is all about them and nothing about you. Why do you think it is Ok to make choices FOR THEM? Telling the government to jail people for this bahaviour is making choices for others.
And
Yes!! isn't it amazing we can disagree and still be friendly and even friends!

why would anyone condemn my ass?.
i have never driving a vehicle on a roadway drinking or high.
i have never went shooting weapons drinking or high.
i have never went to work drinking or high.
i have had my job for 30 years this year.
i do not drive any of my water craft drinking or high....i have neighbors kids around also.
i think i raised a great son.
but yet some want to be all high and mighty and make judgements on folks.
come and hang with some dope smoking...beer drinking...weapon shooting...squirrel killing....race car driving fools...you may be caught off guard how much fun one can actually have....kev.

Kevin, you're a rare bird, there's not too many who exercise much self control with the weed, and so many idiots who believe their stoned condition improves their driving ability. The Extreme level of denial typical with addictive personalities is like tenfold with potheads.
I definitely take the libertarian position on pot. However the evidence coming out about severe developmental delays in children of women who smoke it during pregnancy is worth considering. Every stoner I have personally known, myself included in the day, is a poster child for keeping the minimum wage nice and low. One of the best decisions I ever made was to get free of that addiction.

chassroc - Charlie? You went to Woodstock? Dood, I hope you avoided the "brown acid". We got a lot of pot here in Cali. A lot! What a trip...no brown acid for me. We didn't bring much nourishment..but we had enough sense to bring blankets, cookies, a case of beer and 2 gallon jugs of gallo. We bartered our way to happiness that weekend. My friends did a lot of acid but I never tried it; it was something I would enjoy too much and I have very addictive tendencies.
