It's not for me. Maybe I'm still a square born in the 60s, maybe it's because I've known of some substance abuse in my family, maybe it just friggin' stinks. I've never tried pot. But I don't drink or smoke either. I've tried alcohol, and I was told once that a twenty year old scotch was exquisite; I tried it, and said, "Thanks anyhow. I don't get it and you shouldn't waste it on me."

But I'm easy. I have long believed that anyone should be able to do whatever they want to, as long as they're not hurting or threatening anyone else. Driving while drunk or high is a threat. I won't have it.

Incidentally, I cannot understand the opposing resistance to medical marijuana. There are plenty of medicinal items that don't allow for driving or operating of heavy machinery. I can't understand why someone needs medicinal marijuana but can't get it.

I'd say the only resistance I have to medical marijuana are the claims the pro-pot crowd make that marijuana cures everything from headaches to cancer. It's very similar to claims made by fans of such quackery as homeopathy. I'm all for allowing people who are truly suffering to give marijuana a try.

I doubt it cures anything, but is a good form of pain
relief, and helps relaxation in people with chronic
illnesses.
I`m all for it`s use in these cases, but as a
recreational drug, not so much.
