[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 708108, member: 4040"] California recently legalized recreational marijuana. I was not in favor of the bill as it was written, because it greatly limits the options for those of us who prefer not to smoke. I do have a medical card, and it helps greatly with my chronic pain. I believe alcohol, as Susie said, causes more problems, and I can't think of any medical use for alcohol other than to pour it over a cut. Mental illness, and the lack of affordable and practical supports, is a huge problem. Unfortunately, a person does have the right to be mentally ill and not accept help, which I think is terribly sad. Copa, I don't think that you have it wrong. The logical consequences of living a life out of the mainstream means that things will be more difficult for that person. There are many different ways to live, to choose your path, but I know of no other way to afford a home, a car, and the hundreds of other things that make life comfortable than to work for them. I would love to be back in the Bay Area, too, but 60 hour weeks and 90 minute commutes are not what I want at this stage of my life. We make our choices. [/QUOTE]
