The fact that our state thinks it is better for us to basically pop pills like they are candy instead of taking a few tokes or bong hits shows how ignorant the "leaders" are here. I am not a druggie or a hippie but I really don't think you can legitimately tell me that marijuana side effects are anywhere near those of pain pills or alcohol such as a much higher risk of renal failure, liver damage, heart attack or stroke. You know what stoner kids do when they are high? They laugh, eat, and draw pictures on the idiot drunk kids. They also don't get behind the wheel of a car and kill people everyday like drunks.
