This experience has left me to gringe when Hollywood types in movies lated for the young roll one for recreation. What a sad and dangerous endorsement . Ok I am off my soap box.

I opine others can decide
If you really think that pot is as devastating as alcohol you'd better think again. I'm not saying that pot is good for you but, in some cases it is. I have seen alcohol destroy families (my Dad and my wife's Dad were both alcoholics). I have not heard of pot doing that other than the dealers/growers killing others. I personally would like to see it legalized but that's another thread.
