I believe in legal use of marijuana as a medication, and if the laws were set up right would agree (vote for) it's legalization and taxation for recreational use just like liquor, so long as safeguards to keep young kids away from it were in place.
Perfect! I could not agree more. I don't think most teenagers have the disipline or mindset to manage their responcibilities in school, work, home or society in general, where consumption of alcohol and marijuana are concerned. It seems to stiffle most kids motivation to accel. For this reason I think it is the resoncibility of a parent or parents that are pro-weed to be hypocritical and hide that fact from their kids until thay are older. I don't know a single kid I grew up with whose parents let them sit around and smoke dope in high school who is not a total loser, today. And I knew a lot of them. In fact, most of them are over weight and still live at home today. LOSERS.

On the other hand, I believe people who have moved on through college or have succeeded in a carrier they enjoy and are passionate about their intrests in life without letting their use of alcohol or marijuana alter their personalities in a negative way, should be judged on the merits of their accomplishments and not be sterio-typed with the lackies.
