My experience is interacting with people for over 20 years that are habitual marijuana users. Again, I am not saying it should be outlawed, it should be up to the states.

I am glad that you know a few “professionals” that uses pot on a regular basis. But that is quiet a small sample size to make a broad sweeping generalization.

How is it that you have interacted with so many habitual mj users over the last 20 years?

I've known a few. A couple were burned out losers, and would have been burned-out losers without pot. A couple were average Joe's who used pot on occasion, and you'd never know it, and one guy who was a highly functioning go-getter with more energy and drive than I'll ever have (and pot was the only drug he'd use besides smoking cigarettes - no alcohol or other, harder drugs).

I think it's certainly more up to the person smoking it, than the product itself.

Ha. And your sample size is...?

The biggest fallacy I see in this debate is the ignoring of all other factors when pinpointing pot as the cause of someone's problems. As with my previous example, a guy could be a drunk and a meth head as well as a pot smoker, but people who have a bias against marijuana specifically will blame ONLY the pot and say "See? I told you pot was bad."
