I'll ask another question, in areas where pot, alcohol or any other drugs are being used and abused what becomes of those people? Most end up a bunch of losers incapable of being productive members of society never mind the crime and violence it brings with it. Why in the world would we ever want to encourage any of this?
What a ridiculous assertion!

"Most?"

Really?

I know many folks who have smoked pot for a long time, and they're normal, productive members of society.

They maintain their jobs, raise a family, pay taxes.

Alcohol does much more damage than marijuana, and it's legal: why this duality?

People are going to smoke pot regardless: the legalization movement is simply recognition that the current punishments as meted out are excessive, and do little to deter.
