Medical marijuana prosecutions

there are plenty enough lazy people sittin' on their ass watching TV and eating Cheetos already, thanks.

Sure the stoner doesn't beat his wife, but is he motivated to go to work to support his family?

Oh please!!!! Just because you smoke a joint, does that make you a lazy, do-nothing slacker?

IMO - it's no different than Cataholic coming home to a glass of wine or a beer on a hot day.

Everything can be taken to the extreme and abused. Used in moderation - where's the harm??

If someone smokes pot, it's most likely in their own home. Where do the drinkers go most of the time??? - to a bar!! Then they get sloshed and have to drive home. They pose more danger to the public and themselves when they get behind the wheel, than the guy (or gal), relaxing at home and smoking weed!!!

And as far as posing a danger to children - well they still find a way to get alcohol if they really want to - don't they?? Same difference.

Oh, but, wait, it is different. First, what I profess to doing is legal. And, I neither eat cheetos nor watch TV all day on my a**.

My point - it shouldn't be different!

The people I knew from my college days who indulged (and inhaled) are now authors, journalists, corporate executives, professors, lawyers, and so on. Not a slacker (or a hard-drug user) in the bunch.

I realize than anecdotes are not data, but stereotypes aren't data either.
