woodfairie Christie, I agree with you. I don't want to take anything where I'm alterning my conciousness, I get high on the beauty in life too! I've tried it yes, didn't get addicted, no.
Cookiepants, where do we stop? I say decriminalize all drugs. If people are determined to get high or alter their conciousness they will find a way to do it-- whether sniffing glue, gorging on sugar, getting drunk, caffiene, nicotine or spinning themselves silly. The war on drugs is an expen$ive one that doesn't seem to make much headway. Smoking marijuana does not necesarily lead to herion and crack use. You drink wine, do you have a desire to drink 190 proof Everclear because of that? Smoking pot is not much different than drinking wine except one is illegal.

Yes my mom was addicted to marijuana (and before that alcohol). She is probably still toking away right now and still abusing it. I had to steal her pot growing up to sell it for my own food and she seriously neglected me by leaving town & leaving me home alone at ages 10-14y on more than one occaision.

Personally I do not like pot because of my own issues.
I do think it should be legal medicinally and otherwise.
But I can agree to disagree.

Sorry but I'm roflol at this mess up....

Arasmama about the wasting $$ for prisons, my lovely loser of a BIL that enjoys spending his time in prison because he's thick headed and doesn't realize after 11 + convictions of DUI is illigal and wrong has said many a time that its easier to get drugs in prison that out of prison, so they are totaly wasting time and energy convicting these people....

But thats just my op

Hmmm, well, the pot smokers I know are not just mellow people.....many of them are involved in other drugs, alcohol, losing a lot of their worth using these drugs, and yes, I mean pot too......Hemp is different than pot, imo. But making it legal to smoke pot would be wrong, imo. The smell of it is enough to make me ill, and I cannot imagine some mellow pot smoker sitting in hos own house getting high while his kids were where now? Yuck. A bad scene, imo. And yup, I say the same about people who smoke cigrettes and contaminate their homes with that stench too, causing problems with their kids health, lungs, etc. Natural does not always equal safe or ok.
