- I didn't say his life is ruined.

- My father was a "functioning" alcoholic. As was his mother, and his sister.

- I know people with gambling addictions.

- I know people who spend more money than they have on weed.

- The caffeine is a drug argument is classic and so funny! It's hilarious, really.

- NONE of your mentioned legalized activities impair people when used responsibly. NONE. You can go gamble and still be sober. You can smoke a cigarette and be sober. You can have a beer or two and be sober. You can drink a cup of coffee or soda and be sober. YOU CAN'T SMOKE WEED AND BE SOBER. Equating it to something like caffeine is ludicrous.

So you want to be the "sober" police?  How many of you drink beer to be sober?  And why should it be a crime for people to become intoxicated on pot if it isn't a crime to be intoxicated on alcohol.  

I'd also argue that the intoxicating effects of alcohol are so much more powerful that it can result in death.
