Uh huh.
I use to smoke quite often when I was during the school year. I maintained a 3.9 as an accounting major and held a 15 hour a week administrative job on top of all normal social activitity.
Simply BS to say everyone smoke smokes cannabis is a low life idiot, although I don't deny those people do exist.

Yes, it should remain illegal.

You can't wander into a thread this lopsided and not have an argument prepared, can you?![]()
I come from the era of the rampant drug culture of the late 1960's-late 1970's. The big argument then about Mary Jane was that the using of it usually lead to experimentation and use of more serious drugs such as LSD and Heroine. Having participated in such societal acts of passage myself in the past, I would tend to say that it was true for me and many others. We did have a tendency to want to get a "better buzz on" and so sought out dealers in those other drugs. Needless to say, my parents were right (shocking!) and I found out the hard way on some bad experiences with the "harder stuff. Thank goodness I came to my senses and sort of just outgrew my interest in drugs.
Despite this, I am in favor of legalization of marajauna on several grounds.
1) It should be regulated and taxed like tobacco and alcohol is
2) There should be very stiff enforcement of illegal dealing and growing of it outside of regulatory requirements.
3) Selling of it to minors should carry stiff punishments, much as for selling alcohol to kids is handled today.
4) Its price should be regulated, so that the temptation to make a fortune off it illegally (the forbidden fruit effect) will be mitigated.
5) Warnings from the Surgeon General should be printed on the packaging to warn people of any medical dangers associated with its use.
Imagine the IRS getting after a grower who tries to do this under the table, or someone suing a manufacturer of marajauna cigarettes for someone getting cancer from their products and you can imagine its popularity as an illicit drug decreasing dramatically.
Let the lawsuits begin!

Editing my posts due to poor typing and grammer is a way of life.
With weed they should just make it illegal to buy and sell, take in public and give to minors.
Other than that - just grow a few plants in your back garden and be left alone if that's your thing.
Drug policy should be driven by economics and public health. At the moment it is driven by ignorance and moralising.
