Re: ISTOOK: The blunt truth — White house drug czar contradicts Obama on marijuana
Again...what makes you think so many more people will be smoking? Anyone that wants it now gets it, pretty easily.
And you are way off base when you dismiss the affects of pot as worse than booze. Pot is much less dangerous to ones health AND mental state and does not cause the violence that alcohol does. Long AND short term.
And I do drink but I dont smoke pot and dont plan to start.
The comparison argument doesn't fly with me.
Pot and alcohol are different as are their effects both short time and long term.
When it comes down to it, by legalizing pot your allowing it to wash into the Communities that MY kids have to grow up in.
And its effects ARE self destructive.
Why does a stoners self destructive habit have to infringe upon my wanting to raise my family in a Community not awash with idiot stoners ?
Why does his "rights" supercede mine ?
