    Can I be the best man? I almost feel like I've been there from the beginning! :)

    I still got a beer or two, pizza and donuts. I'm glad someone is up for this mindlessness. Look at that, two sufixes!

    My husband's habitual pot smoking almost ruined our marriage. It didn't solve any problems, it just created a whole mess of them.

    I've noticed a huge difference in him since he quit. He's not as irritable, he remembers things now, we have more money, he's more attentative to our daughter....the list goes on.

    Thanks MorgansMom, that's the other side to the adult self responsibility thing :!: Every action impacts on others, sometimes good (like now) and sometimes bad. Dope is always in the neutral to bad range. Never the good.

    Surely most of us hope our actions are in the neutral to good range?

    I depart from typical conservative ideas on this issue as well.

    At a minimum, legalizing it for medical uses where there is clear evidence the drug helps those in pain should be considered. On one hand, patients could have something they can grow themselves and use for free to help with their pain/suffering. Verses spending hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars a month for over-priced prescription drugs. Patients that do not have large sums of disposable income to spend on drugs would have a cost-effective treatment (free) to help with their pain.

    At a maximum, legalize it and subject it to the same or similar standards as alcohol. I personally think alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana. Put a dozen rednecks in a room with a keg of coors light, and before the night is over, someone's going to be in a fight. Put a dozen rednecks in a room with a few joints and they'll come out laughing and best friends.

    I think legalizing it would be better because there is too many cases of police arresting youngsters and by that ruing their life for a better future later on, so I agree its ok to smoke in some level (I hardly know people that never even tried) but just like drinking it shouldn't be often.
    And I don't believe all the propaganda from both sides, I do however know for sure that its not as harmful the way they showing it in commercials.

    don't blame the police for ruining their lives... The youngsters do have choicing, including breaking the laws even if you don't agree with the law. Then what they do after getting busted? They just smoke more and fry more brain cells... I have a friend who smoked it all the time and he would just piss me off. He also couldn't figure out why he was broke or why nothing seemed to work for him - like keeping a job. :LOL I think he is off of it now and has been keeping jobs longer.

    I don't really think smoking a naturally occuring plant on this planet should be illegal. I have been looking for the beer tree for a while, but I got sidetracked looking for the Vodka bush. It is not going anywhere, just like booze, beers and cigarettes are not going anywhere. Why not legalize it or place restrictions on it like any other "controlled" substance.
