Yeah, but that is because you don't seem them lying on their couch or in their own bed refusing to get out and face the day. My observation of pot is that it makes plenty of people happily content to waste their lives away. What is the solution for that?

I assumed that photo was more a metaphor than a literal event. My use of it to refer to stories I had heard was in reference to the larger story. My guess is there are lots of stories about weed that parallel alcohol. I'm not arguing one is more addictive, more destructive, than the other; only that stories I've heard suggested weed is addictive in the same sense alcohol is so. And should be regulated as such. But, again, I'm still learning so who knows what the future will bring.
