I never understood the attraction of smoking weed for the following reasons:
1. Always been illegal in every state I've lived in.
2. Limits job opportunities.
3. Health problems from inhaling smoke (of any kind) into lungs.
4. Too many users don't know where to draw the line between using it responsibly at home vs driving or going to work high.
4. Kinda got soured by the stupid argument that smoking pot is better than drinking alcohol or using harder drugs. It may very well be, but it's not exactly a healthy choice. The only exception would be prescribed medical marijuana for actual medical problems. My little brother has a medical pot card and has absolutely nothing wrong with him. I would hazard a guess that a good portion of "medical" marijuana cards are held by folks who have nothing wrong with them and just like to smoke pot.
5. Ratios of folks I've personally met who's lives are better from smoking weed vs lives are worse due to smoking weed is like 1:100. This is said after a career as a journalist having met a crap-ton of folks from all walks of life who smoke weed.
Still, I think it and many other drugs should be legalized. We're not doing our society any favors by criminalizing casual drug use. If you want to use pot then go ahead, but understand you have a responsibility to not let your recreational drug use negatively effect the rest of us. No smoking in public or driving, going to work, etc. while under the influence.
In the end, who the fuck am I or law enforcement or the government to tell you not to smoke weed if you can do so while remaining an otherwise law-abiding, self-support, productive member of society.
