Regardless of who can handle their drugs, they shouldn't be made criminals for using them.  It's ridiculous to outlaw a plant that is less harmful than a drug such as alcohol, which this country has roundly considered to be OK.  Alcohol can kill you.  Pot will not.  Alcohol can kill you even when you are trying to stop using it.  Pot will not.  

- Not religious. Did he turn water to wine and then get hammered?

- I am sure we would all get through just fine.

- Good for you? You have found a coping mechanism for your life's pains. Society doesn't agree with your chosen method of self medicating. Who cares, other than you?

- I think it's naive to expect people not to do lots of things. that doesn't mean society doesn't have standards.

- LOL.. It doesn't benefit you in any way. Why should it? You're using illegal drugs that society has deemed harmful for itself.

- LOTS OF THINGS CAN KILL YOU WHEN ABUSED.
