I understand the suggestion that we join the 21st Century. Let me assure that without getting into personal details there is extraordinary experience behind the note both formal and informal education. It is the uneducated and those that never took the time to professionally understand the impacts and watch the effects of usage.
I have never met a person who worked in or watched the activities of a Crisis Center or Rehab. profess to be in favor of making any drug available. How are the current social problems with drugs working for you? Have you visited the streets of Denver or Vancover and witnessed the effects of these drugs on the youth? I bet not. I give up now since it is a well known fact that unless the "user/addict" wants to recover they will not. It is unfortunate some must wait until it hits their family hard or they lose controls and must quit..Since some of the problems are such that the brain continues to demand the drugs until the user hits bottom which can be just an embarrasment for some and some in a Crisis center it is a waste of time until the person wants to quit. It is a statistical fact, well supported that 20% will come from pot users.
