Ya know, what it really comes down to for me, is that I don't believe the government should have the privledge, nor the right, to tell me what I can and can't do on my spare time. If it kills of seretonin production, and I'm ok with that, who is some asshole in a suite to tell me I can't do it?
Also, most of those bums, and losers who smoke pot all the time, do a whole hell of a lot more drugs than just pot. They're usually potheads, drunks, coke addicts and the list goes on.
You, and they, can't blame all they're considerable problems on marijuana. Anectodal or not, there is plenty of evidence of secure, happy, productive people that smoke pot.
Hell, I have an Uncle who practically runs a section of Grand Central station, making well over 6 figures, has retired, and come back to work 2 or 3 times, and he smokes pot. Cmon people, take responsibility for your actions, don't blame it on a substance.
