And please don't equate it to alcohol cause there is an awful lot of damage there as well, but as I said earlier wine or a cocktail doesn't have to be enjoyed just to get a buzz - can enhance your meal. What do you pair marijuana with - ho ho's and doritos? It's only purpose is too get f_ _ _ ed up.

Details please...marijuana alone "ravaged" your children? In what way?
The positive thing? It brings back freedom of the individual to choose. A right you used to have in MANY aspects of your life.
After 2 drinks, most people are legally "at the limit", You are borderline too intoxicated to drive your car. You just don't realize it with alcohol.
Wine "enhances your meal"? Of course it does...enjoy the buzz.
I think you're under the false impression that marijuana is like heroin or drinking a 5th of scotch. A few puffs and you're wrecked, sprawled out on the couch, unable to utter a coherent sentence. Nothing, nothing could be farther from the truth. A few puffs is that same mellow feeling you get from your cocktail, or two. That relaxation you feel with your drink, it's chemical. You're f_ _ _ ed up on alcohol.
Denial isn't only a river in Egypt.
