Personally I'm in favor of decriminalizing all drugs and putting monies into education and rehabilitation. We are spending way too much money putting people in prison and little good it does.
I do believe people who are stoned all the time do not reach their full potential. I use to think I had to be stoned to create art. When I gave it up my work improved immensely.

I do believe people who are stoned all the time do not reach their full potential. BITD when I was in high school and college it was the kids who were drunk all the time. Which is likely worse regarding impaired driving, antisocial behavior, long term health and possibly addiction.
Or put it another way. Being stoned OR drunk frequently is a bad idea.
I don't smoke pot and I have learned to limit my drinking to a safe level. So I don't really have a dog in the legal pot fight.
Unfortunately due to the USGov't refusing to fund any medical research on the use of pot, we really don't know the long term effects.....yet.

Medical Marijuana is truly a miracle and has helped so many of my friends escape from Big Pharma.

treez- I know you love going after Blue but he is basically correct. The cases of DUI for THC in Washington have increased (almost double) since the law passed. They are using a blood test (some argue the level of THC is too strict, but that's another thread).
You are not going to test positive during a DUI for a joint smoked 28 days ago.
THC represents about 1/20th of all DUIs in Washington.

THC represents about 1/20th of all DUIs in Washington. ergo alcohol, anti-histamines and misused prescription pills account for 95%

What? Dark skinned foreign people doing shady things because Raygun started a "war on drugs."
Mr Christ, I hate to mess with you since I know you are the most intelligent poster on Supertopo, but it was in fact Richard Nixon who started the failed "War on Drugs", nearly a decade before R.R. was elected.
"The term was popularized by the media shortly after a press conference given on June 18, 1971, by United States president Richard Nixon—the day after publication of a special message from president Nixon to the Congress on Drug Abuse Prevention and Control—during which he declared drug abuse "public enemy number one". "

All it would take to prove that wrong is just one illegal grow discovered in either Colorado or Washington.

What do you think I meant by "almost completely"?
Chaz sees that you almost completely understand but not completely ......
