Obama to end the war on drugs?

[Martinus]

lol, anyone who wants to try to smoke pot now does so now.  You need to be pretty damn naive to think otherwise.

Not true. For example I wouldn't mind smoking a joint just to see how it is (though, that being said, I never smoked a cigarette either), and might end up liking it. Not that my productivity can fall more, what with posting on Languish and all.

Live a little, people.

I have never smoked and do not intend to so as to not jeopardize my employment and security clearance.

However, if marijuana was legalized with usage causing no adverse effects, I would consider it. I assume smoking a joint is like enjoying a glass of wine?

Different.

Well, I was closeted and pretty square until after law school and now I don't know where to get it. Plus I'm afraid I'd puke. I'd have a magic cookie though.

Everyone is always shocked when I tell them I never smoked pot

I have.  But then again, I've never been one to let the law dictate what I want to do.

Lame.

Ah, one of those "The Criminal Code is not a Holy Book" types.

I guess I sort of come across as a pothead sometimes.  Kind of dopey & whatnot.

It seems entirely logical that there is some number of people who would use drugs, but do not for the simple reason it is against the law.

Trying to estimate how many people that is would be quite difficult, but it's a number greater than zero.

Might be greater than zero, but also rather insignificant. I've lived all my life in a very permissive society and can't think of anyone that started taking drugs as an adult. People experiment in their teens and I don't know a single teenager who is greatly concerned about what the law might say about him drinking or snorting coke.

I don't think that's a relevant situation though.  You lived all your life in a permissive society, but you haven't seen the transition from restrictive to permissive, in terms of drug use.

I suppose.  But then again, I've never given much thought to holy books either.  I just do what feels right.

I smoked pot in college until I realized I wanted to eventually work in national security or the military, and I'd gladly smoke again were it not for certain security tests.
