You feel it should be illegal based on one set of "observations" over a period of time, of people that you likely had little knowledge of their intellectual and social/emotional backgrounds. Hardly a scientific method.

One night I left our apartment to go for a dip in the pool, and when I came back, they were all sound asleep.

Over time, I definitely noticed a change in their behavior. They didn't seem as sharp mentally as they were before, and I suspect it was due to the long-term effects of marijuana. Based on what I observed, I think marijuana use should be illegal.
