how does someone else smoking pot effect you or your kids?
Dont say that they are more likely to drive high and kill me, since that is not true, and we already covered that.

pain killer for cancer patients
AIDS patients have long used marijuana to fight the terrible wasting the disease causes. It's also been said to help an extremely painful condition known as peripheral neuropathy -- a painful nerve disease that has few effective treatments.
"Although not a cure, our research suggests that cannabinoids can play a crucial role in controlling some of the neuromuscular problems seen with MS," says David Baker, MD, of the Institute of Neurology at University College in London, the paper's main author.

There are already more potheads in the workplace than you realize. The thing is, though, pot doesn't impair ther ability to work. Just because someone smokes pot, doesn't mean they will be a menace to society. If a cab driver smoked some pot on a friday or saturday night, and went to work on monday, they would be perfectly safe. same goes for pilots, operators of heavy machinery, and scientists, and pet store owners, and people who make your bed in hotels, and chimney sweeps, etc.......

yea, maybe if you are an alcaholic who drinks all day every day, but the use of alcahol in moderation wont do that. Thats what im talking about...moderation. most people only use alcahol and/or pot in moderation. The small minority of people who abuse it get all the attention though.

you do realize that more of your tax dollars are being spent enforceing unfair drug laws than are being spent on health care.
