I haven't smoked pot, not even once. My wife has not either, so that's two of us. I can't believe we are all that weird. Now that I have that out of the way, you people who want to legalize marijuana had better campaign for the same kind of commercials paid for by the tobacco companies. The kind that says "you are better off if you don't use it," etc. Finance it with the proceeds from your windfall profits, of which, I am sure, there will be no shortage. Sorry, but I am not sure this is a good idea. Not at all.

"IMO the reason that those statistics in favor of legalization aren't even stronger is because of parents not wanting their children to smoke pot." We have a winner. I saw what smoking pot did to my friends. Very few of the potheads advanced to what I would call a "successful" career. Most of them got suck in an endless series of meaningless jobs, and a couple just sponged off of their parents for eternity. Parents don't want their kids to grow up like that.
