Seriously? Pot is not a gateway drug any more than milk is a gateway drug to alcohol.
Just because pot might be decriminalized does not in anyway mean I am in favor of stoned driving any more than I would be in favor of drunk driving.
More marriages driven to divorce because of pot? Honestly, your reaction to pot is an over reach.

Pot is not a drug to get high, to alter your state of mind? Are you kidding me that it is not a gateway drug to more powerful drugs and higher kicks?

Lord, I used to hear my friends in High School say somethings like this, 'That is a cool drug, if you really want to try something, try this Dude'. And of course, others would say 'Oh Wow, you've got to do it Man'

Many of those are now dead. A good number are divorced because the drugs messed up their lives and their wives dumped them. And yes, some did try Crack later and did have Crack Babies.

So, my reaction is definitely not an 'over reach'.

I deal with Alcoholics and other users, and when they say "It's not a Problem for me", I know there going to find themselves up a brick wall, or go through a number of bad cycles until they finally say "I've had enough with that stuff", or "My girlfriend is leaving me over it, I've got to get off it, now". Then I know there is hope for them.

Otherwise, I never hear from them, or see them in an Obituary or in a Funeral Home laid out flat.

Drugs are a real bummer and when they get cheaper or easier to get - now that's a community bummer Dude.
