The problem in generalizing is just that... It is generalizing... There are folks who have all kinds of problems with all kinds of legal substances other than alcohol... Some drive wrecklessly and hurt or kill themselves or others... Some eat themselves to death... Some undereat themselves to death... Some shoot themselves or others with guns that they shouldn't own for various reasons... I mean, there are lots of products in our lives and for every 100 users of these products most folks won't have any propblems in using these products responsibly...

Yeah, I like pot but I use it responsibly... I never drive with a buzz... I don't operate machinery with a buzz... I don't perform with a buzz...

I mean, if yer gonna ban pot and accept all the negative consequences from the effects of the prohibition you should at the very least understand them... Like where do kids get pot??? From the "pusher,am" who deos not have that kid's best interest at heart and very may well lead the kid to do other drugs that ther kid never would have considered??? That is a reality that I don't hear the prohibitionists talk about... Or the costs which are emmense... Or the war in Mexico...

I mean, let's get real here... Prohibition is costing thr US billions in enforcment and lost tax revenues from keeping pot illegal!!! Yes, billion$$$$!!!

Yeah, I do feel very saddened to hear of any kid who takes his life but there is no evidence that pot makes people suicidal... I mean, I don't think we can make a case based on one individual's experiences with life in general and say that pot was the reason that a person kid killed himself...
