I guess because I'm for legalization it means that I'm not for responsible use? Just like if I was for the end of alcohol prohibition, it would mean that I was justifying being a drunk?
And not like it's anyone's business, but like many people, I (gasp) use marijuana and have a successful professional career and personal life. Is that anecdotal evidence not as valid as you knowing a "stoner" loser?
Bottom line is that I'm for personal choice. No, it's not for everyone, or some sort of magic bullet. But is does improve the quality of life for many. The war on drugs has been an epic failure and human tragedy. It is time to de-schedule marijuana and decriminalize all drug use. Addiction is not a crime. Go after dealers not users.
