Stop hanging out with layabouts. I mostly hang out with employed or retired people who have college degrees, and plenty of us toke.

I've known both successful and lazy stoners. Some folks are just lazy no matter what.

Oh no!!! What did every human civilization in the history of the World do before the Government came along in the 1930's and made everything safe and illegal for us?

I agree and was thinking the same, now that it is legal in some states, there is more exposer, people out of the closet so to speak, of course the numbers will appear to rise, but I doubt they have gone up much if any.

It is up 100% in the past 10 years, which is when legalization has been taking place. Are you having a hard time with this?

You are having a hard time interpreting the stat, which can't and shouldn't be taken at face value.

Of course most people will not admit to something that could potentially have them locked in a cage and their lives ruined.

Is Canada doomed as well?

You know what? Good. Good that it is up 100%. Good that people who want access to MJ have access to it. Done. What else do you have?

People who have weak identities and substance abuse problems aren't going anywhere just because you ban the substances or lock them up for 20 years.

Marijuana does have its problems and potential for abuse, but that doesn't mean that it should be illegal. It's hypocritical that Republicans claim to be the party of small government and individual liberty yet don't want to allow people to make their own decision regarding marijuana use and even want to fill up the prisons with people who have done no crime other than smoking a joint.
