even if it were to become legal, that doesn’t mean you can’t discourage its use. Look at all the tobacco commercials. All I’m saying is there should be the option, I don’t think the government should have authority over punishing people for health problems, because when you boil it down marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol abuse are just health problems, not some crime against society.

Yeah let’s look at all those anti-tobacco commercials, then you go outside and see how well they work. Oh wait, they don’t.

 

I can’t get drunk or cancer from walking behind someone drinking a beer or smoking tobacco. I can, however, get high simply by breathing in second hand marijuana smoke and even light exposure to it shows up in drug screens and takes days to flush.

 

You decision to ruin your own life can ruin others’ simply by being near them while doing it. Now imagine, if you swapped just half of the people smoking tobacco with pot smokers, there’s no way you wouldn’t get through the day without at least SOME exposure and there goes pretty much all drug screening right there.

 

Have you even considered the effect this has on other people or do you just care about getting high? Do it in your house, I mean hell it’s not like you’re likely to get caught, just don’t force your life decisions on society. That’s all this is really about.

 

Oh and Nickname, 2/3 > 1/3.
