Finally, a memoir that begs the question, "What could your neighbors be smoking, and more importantly, will they share?"
Author Catherine Hiller grew up in New York's Greenwich Village, and smoked her first joint in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. When she took that first hit, she'd been in training, smoking cigarettes to get the motions right. But she says nothing could prepare her for the euphoria, and she's been unapologetically hooked ever since.
What should we take away from this self serving piece... the same we should with all pro drug agenda.. "look at me how normal I am" BS
Does anyone think that even if MJ becomes legal all the problems with it will somehow magically disappear... its like guns.. its not the gun its the person.. MJ users tend to be asshats in my world and are **** poor neighbors.. which is why I go to their homes all the time on neighbor complaints... those who actually do use responsibly I will never see
As to the woman in the article... nothing extraordinary about her.. so I wouldn't hold her out as some shining beacon of positive drug user... she bleeds pure liberalism .... and self serving statements
Lets cut open her lungs and look at her medically for all the tar shes ingested.. lets cut open her brain and see what the spaces look like and compare them to non drug users,,, lets give her some real acuity tests... lets see what BENEFIT we can realize from her drug use... other than the negative addiction I see.
I hate to make snap judgements without talking to her but man.. she is bug eyed weird looking

Hates to make snap judgments. . . makes snap judgments
I think that she is just riding the wave of what is becoming more and more of a hot topic. I think it is important to show that there is a large population of people that partake in cannabis that are productive members of society. That cannabis users could be your next door neighbor, your lawyer, your professor, even your doctor.
As some folks would like you to believe, cannabis is not a pathway to a sullied life worth nothing of note. I think anyone that has first had experience with cannabis knows that it is not the devils lettuce some would make it out to be.
I hope her book does well, I also hope it helps to bring more "famous" people out of the shadows with regard to cannabis.
I think drugs are terribly dangerous and any idiot who wants to legalize them should have to live in a crack house, exulting in the freedom they helped to create.
And anyone who puts marijuana in the same slot as crack and meth has never known a crackhead or a speed freak and trivializes REAL drug addicts. This isn't "Reefer Madness". I won't dance to jazz really fast and pass out and become a prostitute for WEED. I have lost many friends to hard drugs and NOT ONE to marijuana. There was recently a study that showed that marijuana is a 116% safer than ALCOHOL. If you believe marijuana should be illegal, by rights, you should have outlawed alcohol long ago.

And how did that work out for you?
I'll take prohibition was a failure for $1,000 Alex!

you really really hate people who smoke weed, don't you? I don't get it, you act like a character out of some 1930 anti-marijuana film. You claim to be a cop, so answer this for me - when was the last time you rolled on a traffic fatality and the cause was a driver high on pot, or how about a domestic violence where the cause was intoxication on marijuana? The answer without me waiting for you to answer is NEVER, because if either of those are linked to abuse of a substance, that substance is invariably alcohol. I personally don't know any cops who are so worked up over weed as you, it makes me wonder if maybe you retired a really long time ago because you also use terminology that hasn't been around for decades "radio cars, coppers"
Is pot harmless? No, probably not but I bet it's less dangerous to your health than cigarettes or chronic alcohol abuse. Should it be legal, IDK and don't care since I personally don't like it but the personal possession and use should be decriminalized along with all other controlled substances.

I see signs of a revolution everywhere.
I see it in the op-ed pages of the newspapers, and on the state ballots in nearly half the country. I see it in politicians who once preferred to play it safe with this explosive issue but are now willing to stake their political futures on it. I see the revolution in the eyes of sterling scientists, previously reluctant to dip a toe into this heavily stigmatized world, who are diving in head first. I see it in the new surgeon general who cites data showing just how helpful it can be.
I see a revolution in the attitudes of everyday Americans. For the first time a majority, 53%, favor its legalization, with 77% supporting it for medical purposes.
