Great points. You don't have to convince me on the arguments of MJ vs alcohol or MJ vs tobacco. Those other compounds are clear cut in their effects.

As I said, I never confused any of you guys with the "losers" I had met in years gone by. And to be honest, getting to know all of you guys on this board who do partake in MJ have really opened my eyes to the amount of people, very functional and successful or success-oriented people who use the compound. You are right in saying that there's no telling how many users I actually do know and deal with regularly. Apparently it's the idiots that have been giving the compound a bad name all along. lol

Over the past couple of years, I have opened up to the idea of legalization simply because there is less evidence condemning it than there is for tobacco or alcohol. And the prisons are full of people who had 3 ounces in their pocket, which is ridiculous. Really no need to enforce that when we have much more important issues looming.
