i really think we are on a good wave. colorado is proof it works. if a lot of states vote the right way this fall then there will be a massive wave next year. people gotta vote...
Legalize it. There are lot worse things in the world to worry about.
I don't know how I feel about other drugs. If they become even easier to get more people will get hooked on them, and I can't think of many positive side effects to cocaine and heroin.

The key there is educate. Making something illegal can be enticing, exciting, exotic. Showing a kid a photo of someone who has been doing a lot of meth is more likely to repulse them than anything.

I recently watched the "Breaking Bad" series and after seeing some of the meth junkies on that show (acting I know) I wouldn't ever want to try it.

The thing about the harder drugs is that they are still mainly used recreationally. Only about 10% of drug users - that's users of all drugs in general - are addicts. The other 90% are just recreational users. Heroine is in fact the second most popular recreational drug after weed. Alcohol is actually more dangerous than most of the drugs that people consider hardcore.

And what's interesting is that 10% seems to stay steady over time, despite what's legal or illegal, and easily accessable or not.
if I had to choose one thing for my daughters to choose:
1) alcohol 2) weed
I would choose weed 100% of the time.
Yup. The kids I know who were stoner teens were mostly either very creative or a little dumb and goofy yet either way, all are alive and well. Of the alcoholic teenagers I've know, two died quite young as a direct result of too much drinking.

and you never hear of women getting sexually assaulted while they are passed out on weed while watching a Louis CK special with her male friends eating Doritos.

I did everything I could to teach my kid about the consequences of drugs and alcohol, it seems to have worked.

Good job, God Father.
thanks ! one of the things I did was introduced him to some of my old friends who are pretty much toasted with nothing to show for an adult and told him about the dead ones as well.............I know that's an extreme method of getting a point across but I figured he would much rather learn mine and my friends mistakes than learning the hard way possibly.
....and maybe not, but people who like to get high will and that's none of my business and once I retire it'll be me a beer and a hooter on the couch ! LOL !!!! probably not but it sure sounds good.
"it could make you socially inept and poor". that is such a ridiculous statement it completely discredits anything else said in the article. most of those points are, as weddingparade said, suppositions anyway.

What's a hooter?

legalize pot so many useful purposes, as far as the harder stuff hell no keep it illegal...ill admit ive dabbled in the nose candy recreationally and have zero problems but nowadays you never know what you're getting when you have mans hands in the stuff
look at the new heroin that is on the streets it has some animal drug in it and its killing people because you aren't supposed to dose it so high but they aren't being told this and are dropping like flies...lets just hope that Krokodile shit don't end up here causing issues like the fake synthetic stuff
alcohol I think tops them all in people developing an addiction or alcohol related problems and issues in life don't hear many problems with people and weed

What's a hooter?
what's a hooter ????? wow am I that old LOL !!!! it's what we called joints in So. Cal. during the late 70's and 80's

I have no idea how factual that stuff is but I bet we can all name at least one friend who moved up the ladder of progression a little slower than the rest because they were stoned all the time, some folks can function with life and responsibilities after a B load in the morning...(me not so much LOL !) and became successful in life so I guess it just depends on the individual.

Lol! Pretty sure my first doob was in 1989, so yeah, never heard of it. You take a hoot off a joint or pipe, but never heard a joint called a hooter. I thought you meant some kind of sex pot girl or something, because if Hooters! I asked though, before accusing you of being a dirty old man.
