If it is a problem for the individual then those substances are the same as legal death. What you want me to start naming names of people you don't know with ruined families, lost college careers, wrecked vehicles or criminal records? Legalizing pot also won't make people I've known with use issues stop, will it? I understand the medical usage value pot has as a drug for pain or chemo patients. However, as usually Magley's comments bring out the "OH shit, here comes the morons" red flags. Marijuana is a drug, it effects your mind and reactions to both social and interpersonal situations. For some, like alcohol, the trouble is worse, even if they can't see the problem. I'm sure we will see the results of legalizing pot in the states which have passed this legislation. Oddly, I believe marijuana is still illegal in Colorado and other places because of federal law.
