LOL! I've always thought of pot as fairly harmless (though I may be wrong -- facts welcome), but I'm in two minds about whether it should be legalized. On the one hand, I don't see why alcohol and tobacco are any different from pot -- they can be addictive and they have long term consequences to ones health if consumed in excess. And why should the government interfere with an individual's right to choose what he does to himself. On the other hand, why stop at weed? Why not e? crack? heroin? Or should we just ban tobacco and alcohol too? Perhaps messing with the status quo is a bad idea -- a move in either direction seems to have more pros than cons... -- b
