[QUOTE="alank2, post: 3880615, member: 108"] It probably isn't a popular opinion, but pot is not going to lead anyone to any place good. I can see it for someone with chronic pain/disease as something to cope with, but even then I think it is going to do its damage and one has to look at that as a damage that is acceptable given a hard situation. I don't see any point in all the comparisons of one drug/drink to another, the bottom line is that they can diminish the quality of lives pretty quickly as one becomes a slave to them. It may be better for liberty for one to be able to smoke it, but it is certainly worse for society as people diminish themselves with it. As someone who is entirely fed up with the entitlement system of this country and the various checks of all sorts being mailed out to everybody for any reason, legalized pot seems like a way to make that situation all the worse as people don't want to do anything but smoke on their couch and be content that others are working on their behalf.
