[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 668680, member: 17244"] A lot of us have seen how marijuana affects our kids so the whole "it's harmless" argument isn't going to fly. It sucks the drive and ambition out of young people. They can't learn anything while they're on it - either in school or in life, which is why their emotional and social aging stops when they start using it and we have all these 20-40 year old teenagers. And it is addictive for those prone to addiction, and for some it does lead to meth/heroin etc. A lot of us have heard the justifications - "I know this guy who works in <whatever> and he smokes and is doing fine." Yes, but he's not you and you're not doing just fine. Not being in school, either not working or working at minimum wage jobs in between getting fired, going to jail - despite what you may think, that is not doing just fine. And no, not everyone your age is doing that - just the losers you hang around with. Sorry, got carried away. [/QUOTE]
