- I am not arguing that drugs in any way shape or form do not belong in society. I am arguing that weed is the lowest strength drug that should NOT be allowed and that I have a fundamental problem with allowing/sanctioning recreational drug use to become a societal norm. The line has to be drawn somewhere and it has to stay there. If we begin to move it, where do we stop?

 

To the bold, no harm. That's one of the pitfalls of message board conversations, you can't get the tone down.

To the second part, I can understand that. I disagree, but I get where you're coming from. I guess for me the issue is, if we're going to allow alcohol, I don't see that much difference with pot smokers in terms of legalizing and regulation. Some people use and abuse both, some people use one or both and have no problem doing it responsibly.
