now I for one used to smoke back when I was 18, now that I'm almost 26 I haven't had the urge to pick it up again. I wasn't a pot head I only did it once in a while mainly just on weekends. I used to be all about legalizing pot, until i started thinking about the consequenses. Here's one for you guys who think it should be legal... how can you test for it if you get pulled over and your stoned out of your mind??? Alcohol has its tests pot only has a piss/hair test but that doesnt tell you how much you've had smoked...
so that you legalize it right. you get in your car blazed out of your mind smoking it up with your buddies as you go for a bone cruise, blasting tunes, and passing that fattie around. You go reach for the blunt from your buddy in back, then you hit and kill a person/ or a even worse a kid. the cops show up to the scene and notice that you are under the influence of a controlled substance. But can not charge you because there is no test for marajuana. Sure you'll be arrested for involentary manslaughter, and under the influence of a controlled substance. you go to court get a slap on the wrist maybe serve a year or less in prison because you get out on "good behavior".

But the drunk who gets behind the wheel and does the same thing. Is charged with manslaughter loses his license, goes to counceling, and serve a sentence behind bars.

Sounds like a good idea of legalizing it doesn't it?

I also drink and I wouldn't call Alcohol a gateway anything. Its all about peer pressure, and confidence in saying no thanks.

Like I said
Society is in the %$%$%$%$ter !!!
Can't turn on the tv without a "Male enhancement" commercial or a girl with her tits 1/2 hanging out !, or profanity on just about everything !
Sucks trying to raise kids and not deal with these issues everyday !
And for those here who think kids aren't influenced by these guys like Phelps, you have no idea what you are talking about and most likely don't have young kids !
As for the heroin comment, guarantee the way pot is so accepted as not big deal with some of you, not too many years from now heroin or some other drug will be the same story !

With Phelps' outrageous lung capacity, he probably bogarted down the guy's whole stash in one huff. I think the real lesson here is to never to share a bowl with an aqua-lung pituitary case.

Your right Ronnie it is becoming a society of "anything goes"and "what the hell, just let e'm go."

Imho, i believe the most important job a father has is not only to provide for, but to bring his children up to become good solid citizens that live up to their full potential.
Like Karl said, you have to be the role model for them and from what i have seen from your posts, you are a good one.

Living in a morally bankrupt society makes it very difficult.

there is a huge difference between the two. and to compare the two just shows ignorance on the topic. for one thing, a heroin overdose will kill you. find me one person who died as a direct result of smoking weed (not including allergies, etc. since peanuts can and do kill some people). and don't point to pestacides and addatives, because those all go away if its legal and regulated by the FDA (or at least we'd like to hope).

remember, cocaine was no big deal for a long time and tons of people were doing it. then people learned it can kill you (len bias) and now it is considered a big deal.

weed = alcohol that somebody decided was illegal IMO. both have been around forever and their effects are pretty well known. being illegal in my mind doesn't make something wrong or immoral.
