I support legalizing marijuana. You want to smoke the plant? go right ahead, it is up to the user to be responsible or face the consequences (and no, we don't need any more laws, we have plenty to cover damn near every little facet of life already).
I can not stand this "medical marijuana" jive. It insults my intelligence and is nothing more than a ruse.
Over the course of several years in the program (AA), I’ve accepted all responsibilities for my behaviors and consequences for my actions. I don’t blame pot for who I became after college, I blame myself for not being adult enough to give it up.
It's like the "health of the woman" clause they always insist upon for abortion laws. The "health" inevitably includes "mental health," which means that some doctor of psychiatry can say, "this woman will be emotionally distraught if she has to keep this baby..." and that clause becomes nothing more than a loophole.
Similar thing with "medicinal uses" of marijuana. "Medicinal uses" clause is big enough for a Mac truck to go through.
