Jon,anyone who became a pot-smoking ne'er-do-well had a pre-existing tendency to become a ne'er-do-well.Although the analogies to casual drinking have been overdone,my guess is that liquor poses a more significant threat to the user's physical and mental health than pot does,and even more of a threat to the abuser's family and friends.Marijuana is easily obtainable,widely used,and it's time we stopped legislating people's behavior regarding this intoxicant.Heck,let's tax its sale and use the funds for drug education in the schools,so that kids will understand that there is indeed a significant difference between marijuana and heroin,and that abuse of any intoxicant is detrimental,while the abuse of some substances can be fatal.
