I will take what you said statement by statement.

Obviously you have been around a select few that use pot.
Yes, I have been around people of all walks of life. From rich to poor, from ultra conservative to ultra liberal, from drug users to sober people who have never touched drugs.

I guess when some one is high and crash and kill someone it doesn't affect anyone.
Of course it does. Your missing my point. There will be people making stupid decisions no matter if they are sober or high. Is the high person any more dangerous then the teenager who just got their license and is facebooking in traffic? Does this mean we should ban children from having cell phones or ban children from driving?

Or someone that needs drug money and robs someone or breaks in to someone's house while kids are home it doesn't affect anyone.
Ahh I love sensationalism. Do you really think there is a issue of people robbing people to get money to smoke marijuana? Am I saying it doesn't happen, no I'm sure it does, I just dont believe its to a extent that criminals rob for other reasons. Mainly because they are criminals.

I can tell you that you need to wake up.
Wide awake here. Look there are bad apples in every bunch. There are going to be people who abuse any situation given to them. But the fact is, the majority who consume and approve of the consumption are good people, who work normal jobs, live normal lives and are productive members of society.

Why don't you tell me about the parents that drive with their kids to the drug house to get drugs and forget about their kids in the car.
Where are you getting this info from? Your throwing wild accusations out there without anything to back it up. I'm sure at some point some parents have went to a drug house and left their kids outside, does it mean its a normal practice like you seem to be proclaiming?
deboy69;204420 said:
You can't possibly think that pot hasn't ruined someone or someone else's life.
I cant sit here and say with 100% that pot has not ruined someones life but your using it as a scapegoat. There is something going in with this person deeper than he/she smokes pot and make stupid decisions, unless they are just a plain stupid human and we all know there are some of those around.

How about all these stellar parents that get high around their children.
How about all those parents who drink around their kids, what about all those parents who take prescription drugs around there kids, what about the parents who sit on the couch and play video games all day long, what about the kids who are fed sugar all day long and have happy meals stuffed down their throats, what about the parents who fight in front of their children?
It is up to US to educate our children and teach them the values that are important to us. Just because your values are not the same as mine, does that make you or me any more right? This is the beauty of America, we the people decide and like I said before, if your values don't coincide with a area, city or state you have a choice to go somewhere else where others share the same values as you.
