My real point here is that what do you suppose you would get from a pool of people who admitted to smoking pot and a group of people you verified did not smoke pot? Who would you hire? Who would you let take your daughter out on a date?
My other thought is that some posters view this has a right. Since when are vices rights. I can answer that question for you, when the government can tax you for it. The government arrested criminals for promoting gambling for years sending them to jail until they figured out they could collect taxes for it. So they legalized horse racing among other things. What was ironic is that in a moment these criminals became businessmen. Also ironic are the posters found at these establishments warning people if they had a gambling problem to call------- I abhor hypocrisy . And what became of America's moral imperative? Should Americans be spending their time in a fight over legalizing marijuana or for the return to the rule of law and our political leaders to abide by the US Constitution et cetra et cetra et cetra.

Well stated position that reflects a very large segment of the populations position on legalizing pot?
Once again.......... for those who are beating the drum about how good it is and great to be legal and all the benefits from using it.......if it in fact has no harmful side effects or does not lead to bigger and better drugs and is so medicinally effective, why did it take until now for it to become legal? Why not 30-60 years ago?
