And how many of those people got started taking drugs because it was a thrill to do something illegal and ended up hooked?

I don't believe smoking pot is addictive (unlike alcohol or cigarettes), and I don't think that it does the damage that either of the afore mentioned addictions does either. I guess I feel that because it's illegal that people just assume that it is worse than something that is legal. I am not stupid enough to believe that there won't be adverse effects, because I know that whenever you put smoke in your body it will do something negative, but, as long as it is a consenting adult, they should be able to abuse their own body as they see fit.

Jackie, I will have to disagree with you on one point (the other point I agree with 100%), I don't believe that it is pot that is making those people in Switzerland act like that. I dare say it is the harder nastier drugs like heroin or crack, or coke, or crystal meth.

A side note here. My sister used to be a foster parent for drug addicted babies (and in fact ended up adopting a meth baby) and never once did she have a baby that was born addicted to pot. She did, however, have a lot of fetal alcohol babies and the alcohol is legal......hmmmm......
