That is not reality. People you know now that you view as very productive and successful in their career toke regularly.
here is what makes it a difficult topic, just by looking can you tell which person has an addictive personality? There is truth in the statement that Cannabis is a gateway drug. It is for many, and that is a very big issue in the debate to legalization. yes there are many regular tokers that are productive professionals, but there is already a growing base of data that shows a higher risk from the use of Marijuana too.
I personally don't care what people do in the privacy of their own homes, but marijuana, like alcohol or other drug use is not always confined to the home.
That being said, and getting back to the topic, I hope there can be a solution found for those like this child that get legitimate medical relief from cannabis.
Are they the ones to whom I referred? I'm talking about the stoners I'll be unwillingly supporting. It's already happened- with alcohol. Alcoholism is a BEHAVIOR that has been designated a DISEASE. Most drinkers are not alcoholics or abusers, but those who are get subsidized for their "illness".
