Why hasnt these ills of society which you refer to happen in any of the 20 states who have legalized medical marijuana? How come these ills of society you refer to have not materialized across the country since millions of Americans have been smoking it for decades?

Suddenly all these problems are going to happen ???

Come on, be realistic.

I've never seen a chronic alcoholic reach their full potential in life.

But a chronic pot smoker will still buy and smoke the pot, and a chronic alcoholic will still drink regardless, too.

Chronic anything is a problem. Except chronic lover.

Chronic pot smokers live a lot longer than chronic alcohol users.

You might mean "abusers".........small to moderate amounts of alcohol is cardioprotective, FYI. Chronic is a time measurement, not amount.

I guess you feel that alcohol and tobacco should be outlawed as well.

I guess most people have the family and money to take care of the long term effects of alcohol abuse. Same for cigarettes.

We have liquor stores and tobacco establishments by high schools and day cares and the people who drink alcohol stumble down the street and act very strange. Smokers get very sick from lung cancer and its a horrible death. Alcohol use kills people every day and alcohol users kill people too. Alcohol causes many chronic diseases. Tobacco use kills people every day. Second hand tobacco smoke kills people too. Tobacco causes chronic diseases. Nobody has ever died from using pot. Nobody has developed chronic diseases because of pot use. Alcohol and tobacco use affects a lot of people.

Ive seen many guys wake up from a drunk with puke all over them and they ask what day it is, what time is it and what happened. They get blackouts and dont remember a thing about the night before. Pot does not cause you to puke on your shoes. Pot smoking leads to sleep and hunger. Not blackouts.

Millions of people in the US have been regular pot smokers for decades and it does not appear that society fell apart or has any bad effects except putting people in jail for growing this plant, possessing the plant. Drug carte;ls have ,made billions of dollars from the plant.

Let's say for augment sake, it does passes. We are going to have Smoke shops that carry this drug by High Schools/Day cares and have that nasty smell fumigate a closed space like a mall?

So do take it personally, what you do on your property is no ones business. But This effects the many!

So go ahead and smoke your self into oblivion. Papa Johns Delivery guy really like your tipping! when you or any other can't even recall what day it , that's a problem.

What is the phone number for alcoholics anonymous and the American Cancer Society and Tobacco Free Florida who is currently spending tax payer money giving out free nicotine patches and nicotine gum. Nicotine is a drug. These organizations are pushing the drug for FREE.

Yes, very small amounts. Max 1 oz per day. Thats fine. its the folks who put down 5 or more oz's a day that make it a problem. Smoking 1 or 2 joints a day is good for your mind.
