"I guess we could perpetually take care of those people who are continuously in that condition (and it does breed the “continuous effect” — that’s the “overdose condition, in that it “never stops”... LOL...)." that's just retarded. You are using such outdated stereotypes, based on what you've seen in the movies. Are there people who live off the government and sit on couches all day? Sure...but most of them aren't stoners. Why do you care what they do with their time if it doesn't effect you? I've personally never been that interested in weed, or any other drug...but there are plenty of people who hold all types of sucessful jobs, who like to come home and kick back in the evening. And it doesn't effect you at all.

You said — “that’s just retarded. You are using such outdated stereotypes, based on what you’ve seen in the movies. Are there people who live off the government and sit on couches all day? Sure...but most of them aren’t stoners. Why do you care what they do with their time if it doesn’t effect you?

Nope, I’m not using outdate stereotypes, I’m using “first-hand observation” to tell you this. This is what I’ve seen directly, in front of my face, with a bunch of potheads that I’ve come across...

And in terms of what do I care when it doesn’t affect me. Unfortunately, in my experience, it has affected me...

And it’s an experience that no one ever wants to have it affect them like that (and I’m talking about the ones who are not smoking now, how it affects them...). It’s the *worst* kind of thing you can imagine...

There isn’t a single person I can think of that can have *any value* at all, in it...
