You are contradicting your own signature. Either state that drinking is safer for society or it is not and if so Alcohol should be equally treated as cannabis and made illegal. Do you drink sir?

I have no problem with other people wanting to smoke pot. Or eat food made with it. Did both when I was a kid. Weird thing was though, it usually ended up with me being nauseated, or dizzy with the bed spins. Eventually I got smart and realized doh - stop doing that stuff. So I stopped. If I had an illness and thought cannabis would be helpful in treatment or alleviate pain of the illness, I would absolutely positively give it a try.

I do use handcream made with hemp oil in it.

But for recreational use, I'd prefer one nice big frozen pina colada with an extra shot of rum.

That's Tommy Chong. He smoked plenty recreationally, and now uses it to help battle the side effects of his cancer treatments.

See post #8.

In my experience potheads, like other drug addicts and substance abusers, rationalize their drug usage to excuse acknowledging their addiction.

If it becomes legal for recreational use, I plan to try a marijuana brownie.

Just as a counter point to smoking pot leads to failures. Steve Jobs created and led Apple to become one of the most valuable companies in the world.

Just saying.

I expect a lot of the failures that smoked pot would have been failures anyway.

No scientific studies show any significant reduction in success of pot smokers.

However, a LOT of people lose everything when they become addicted to alcohol. My father in law was one, after repeatedly being sent to "dry out camps" by his company they gave up and he lost everything - his savings, his retirement, his family and finally his life.

1320 views with only 50-ish survey responses to the survey.

Even recognizing the possible repeat hits, like mine, the lack of participation rate is more than significant!!

So sadly typical of lack of participation.

Unhappy How Many

How many react with (Name Drug, including beer, booze, cigs, etc etc) are worse than Pot and justify their usage as they are better off with Pot. This is a common reaction to justify and rationalize their drug usage. Of course smoking has proven to be one of the major causes of Bladder Cancer but is not relevant to these comparisons by the user. As they say you can't fix stupid!

Default How many WOULD use Marijuana if it was legal

If pot is so harmless, why the need for advocates? Has anyone ever advocated for alcohol, other than those selling it? We know the bad things overuse of alcohol can do. Why are pot advocates not expressing the same for their drug of choice. Everything about pot is unicorns, fairies and miracles? The blinders need to be removed. If pot had been the drug of choice for the burgeoning western civilization, there would be no western civilization. No global exploration, conquest and no great scientific or artistic achievements that have made us the greatest civilization in history.

Pretty sure our founding fathers promoted hemp.
