[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 560982, member: 59"] This just proves the point that many of us make about our addicts. If you are not an addict you can drink alcohol and smoke pot everyday and you may lead a completely successful life. If you are an addict, the use of pot or alcohol will create havoc in your life and in the lives of others. But in addition to that I have watched my difficult child's friends who all smoked pot every day through high schooll and almost all of them are unmotivated young people who have no drive or passion for anything in life other than where the next bong party is. They work in minimum pay jobs if they work at all. I saw difficult child become a blob who laid in bed watching tv and couldn't even get out to shower or change clothes when she was on pot. I do not believe all these kids are lazy. I believe their use of pot affects their metabolism in such a way that they have no energy for anything else. I have tried to keep tabs on some of those kids just to see how they turned out and they are still just floating through life. They are not all addicts, they have not gone on to harder drugs or alcohol, they are just enjoying the high and not realizing that life is passing them by. The waste of money thing I don't understand. I don't consider it a waste of money to try to keep dangerous drugs off the street, even if doesn't completely remove them and never will. I look at it the way I do any other use of funds to keep our society civil and safe. The alternative is not a good option in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
