The whole thing nationwide about legalizing weed is dumb. How will it be controlled? So, people can drive after smoking? When it is passed, they have to let like half the population out of the county jails, for being arrested on weed charges. Alcohol is legal, and taking lives everyday on the road. Cigarettes don't cause impairment, weed does. Legalizing weed just opens the door to other drugs. Weed is good for some medical conditions, and it should be left at that; prescription only. Our world/country is out of control. I guess a bunch of hippies are running the show.

I don't think that it is farfetched to outlaw alcohol, too. It is a mood altering, dangerous substance as the rest of the so called "illegal" drugs. And, Hank, could you please, dear, add a little more to this discussion. I still love you!

If you want the government to get involved with a "war on drugs", concentrate on all the doctors dispensing opiates like pez candy. Those users and dealers are the dregs of our society, not someone that wants have a drink and light a doob.

Yes, I agree. But, I just think that legalizing weed is a bad mistake. And, it is already on this forum from my beginning a year ago, that my son got hooked on opiates because of a very invasive surgery; they were prescribing opiates all over the place, and the rest is history. I guess you saw Dr. Matthews went down, and there are plenty of others. Saleh and Assoc. in PF is a joke. It is a pill factory disguised as a psychiatric practice.

Edt: Disclaimer; I am not a racist, bigot, etc., but I just want to say that a few times that I met with the above practice with my son in a session; the doc (I wish I could name him, but maybe another time) had his Koran on his lap, and was eating grapes and bananas, and pretty much told me/son that we were the problem, and should figure it out ourselves; even though I voiced and said I think you are over medicating my son who was hooked at that point. The suboxone thing now is out of hand, too, and, it is supposed to get people off opiates, but, in itself is addictive. I never paid their bill again; if it affected my credit rating, I don't really give a poop. Also, the sessions lasted 5-10 mins after waiting for at least an hour to be seen.

You made me laugh, thank you! I tried weed in 9th grade; that would be 1970, and got so sick, and barfed, and never smoked again. But, maybe you are right, after 42 years I should try again. Was my mistake not using a bong?

So, you made the personal choice not to smoke all by yourself, and didn't need the government to tell you NO?

Yet somehow the rest of us can't do that?
