Best excuse that little children make when they do something wrong: "well he did it too." Another is "well, they will get it anyway so why not make it legal?" Kind of like, "well, they will just build a tunnel if you put a wall up and come in, so why not just give them a free cell phone, food card and air transport to wherever they wish to go in the U.S.?" Sounds to me like humans would rather make excuses and overlook bad or dangerous behavior than act like adults and make hard decisions. So afraid of offending someone or making someone angry. That's NOT what America is all about. We take the hard course and make hard decisions.
Like alcohol, there is nothing good about pot for recreation. I can compromise on making pot a civil offense and give fines and/or education as a penalty, instead of incarceration. But, I will always vote NO to a free ticket to the destruction of my country. If you need pot to make you feel good, then you are a weak person. If you need pot for medical reasons, then consult a doctor about other, better forms of medicine. Just because folks break the law everyday, doesn't mean that we should change the law to accommodate them.
