I support the legalization but I don't use it. I would love to see it available medically in oral form though, the current treatment for pain involves drugs far, far harder on the body and potentially deadly.
I know people who became heavy "pot heads" that fit the stereotype but what nobody talks about is they were all pretty much the same kind of people before becoming "stoners". I also know people who are white collar professional types who do it so I believe whether or not you end up like Cheech and Chong depends more on your personality to begin with than the pot use. I've also known far more people who would qualify as being a stereotypical "pot head" that don't touch the stuff and drink beer instead.
Absolutely - great post.
