Once again, I don't really give a fuck what somebody does until they start affecting others. If somebody could smoke dope without harming somebody else, then go for it. Unfortunately, the vast majority of humanity is too goddamned self-centered and weak to only fuck themselves up. That's why the shit is illegal and will stay illegal.

Do you realize you amuse me so?
Again, you are saying the same words. So, let me rephrase my words. I'll break it down so it is easier for you to comprehend.
1) Driving impaired means be hindered in some way to drive safely. This can be because you are:
a) intoxicated by some substance
b) unable to see clearly
c) receiving oral sex
d) talking on a cell phone
e) engaged in any other behavior that lowers your driving ability
2) I understand that you don't want anyone to harm you out of their stupidity or irresponsibility. Many people feel the same way. However, the legalization of marijuana really has nothing to do with this. Why do I say this? Because:
a) People will harm you whether intoxicated or not
b) If people are irresponsible, they are irresponsible
3) This is a bit new, but I'm throwing it in anyway to add some spice to our interchange. Perhaps, you should be a bit open-minded about this...just a bit, let a little draft in. I am terrified of guns, but I respect that people enjoy guns and feel safer with them around so I would never fight to have them made illegal. Guns are dangerous and used irresponsibly they kill people. Alcohol is legal and enjoyed by many people. Not everyone who gets drunk kills people through negligence. The same would go for pot. But the choice should be available. Pot was made illegal in quite a bogus way. Not because it was dangerous to partake in, but because there was a group of people who had a financial interest in seeing it made illegal.
