Some people are going to use pot as an excuse regardless of whether or not it's legal. Some will use alcohol, some will use drugs, some will cry about how daddy didn't love them. Pot isn't the problem here, but rather just the catalyst -- and if it's not marijuana it'll be something else. That's just how some people are, and if you set out to criminalize everything they might use as an excuse you're just going to end up criminalizing everything.
I don't smoke pot, but I do wish our own government would stop pussyfooting around with this decriminalization nonsense and just lift the ban already. Sadly, with the Tories in power it's not likely to happen any time soon.

Don't feel bad, niner. You're just a product of your 'drugs are bad' upbringing. Those of us with hippie (or indifferent) parents don't have the cognitive dissonance factor of trying to reconcile the facts with what all of the People With Authority told us as little kiddies.
