Even though I've never used pot (apart from second hand inhalation at rock concerts decades ago), will never use pot, and will not associate with people who use pot, my stance is basically it should be up to the states to legalize it or not. And no adult should be penalized for private use of mj for whatever reason that only affects themselves.
Nevertheless, I'm not real happy about the idea that of millions of Americans can't wait for the moment when they can toke away to their heart's content and let a drug make the happiness for them that a clear, sober mind can't.
What does that say about a country where a sizable percentage want to live their lives stoned most or half of the time?
And the jury is still out on long term effects of constant pot use.
Numerous studies have established a strong correlation between heavy pot use and brain damage of younger people.
My own view is pot is highly dangerous because it leads to liberalism, the most destructive ideological force in America.
I'll bet a ton of money that far more liberals toke away the day than conservatives.
