It would appear that my thread was sort of hijacked to include alcohol and cigarette's along with pot. It probably makes sense since these are also mind altering drugs which in some way dull feelings, change behavior and effect basic health. Whether they are legal vs pot being illegal is not relevant other than from the standpoint of a pot user risking fines and jail to alter their behavior?
My basic question remains. Should the government loosen any of it's laws regarding another mind altering drug and why would someone want to dull their feeling with another escape route, (medical usage being an exception). I am not a medical person but as I understand it alcohol effects every organ in your body, cigarettes are a major cause of lung cancer and pot can cause birth defects, shrinks the stem of the brain, etc. and all cause some loss of feelings and changes in normal behavior. OK now tell me why it make sense to let loosen up another problem on our already swamped next generation.
