re: Obama: Pot not very different’ from cigarettes, no more dangerous than booze

Alcohol is our only legal vice and escape. I do not drink anymore, but i see the negative affects everywhere.

I smoked pot for a long time, I don't anymore. Made great grades in school, never had problems. In fact, the only problems I ever had was when someone was trying to convince me that it was bad or force me not to do it. Basically creating problems out of nothing. Perfectly fine to get smashed and smoke a PACK A DAY!! Both of which are physically addictive btw. Also, opiates are by far worse the marijuania and cocaine, which of,course is prescribed left and right.

Cocaine? Moderation. People are going to do it anyway. Our prison system is basically there to house people that use cocaine. Monitored use on small scales is fine. Let the irresponsible people suffer and get weeded out. Plenty plenty successful lawyers, doctors that hit a bump now and again.

I think people should be able to make choices and be responsible for them. Good or bad. Make it legal, stop funding all the cartels in Mexico. Stop the corruption in our government/justice/prison system. Keep good law abiding citizens out of jail.
