I can trust an alcoholic, I can not trust a pot-head.
I can see into the eyes of the drinker and say, "You're not driving", or "you're not climbing this radio tower with my life in your hands". "Go sleep it off, you're working the night shift".
With pot, I can not clearing see your judgement making skills. Is pot enjoyable, can one partake within the confines of their house? I'm not the one to speculate, but I beleive that long term use, does change the mental health of the user.
Take in point, aprox. 100 years ago, rural Wyoming. One could buy pot, coke, opium, whores, booze, any number of "social taboos", can legally purchase or have perscribed such items. The total using population was probably smaller then the total number of users today, but more available then, then now.
I will not use, be it leagal or not, I enjoy my health.
