It will take more than six months for the addiction and gateway to other drugs affect to surface.

"Never" is more than six months, true. Marijuana is less addictive than alcohol or tobacco - and there is no 'gateway effect,' just an underlying propensity to alter one's mental state and/or engage in forbidden behaviors.

By then it will be too late. However, there are deaths directly because of the dope and the increase in DUI from dope smoking dopes.

So should we re-ban alcohol, the "I" in the overwhelming majority of DUIs?

So because there is one set of drunks on the road, you think we should add more ways to put even more impaired drivers on the road?

And, YES, pot is a gateway drug.

I love how much 1970’s-era propaganda about marijuana is spewed on FR. I watched an old episode of “Dragnet” on Netflix the other day. I heard the same ridiculous Carrie Nation-like preaching from back then that I’m reading here now.

I don’t use the stuff, but good grief. We have bigger problems than adults getting high, whether it be with a weed from the back yard or expensive whiskey from Scotland.
