But you yourself even said that everyone who wants to smoke weed can and does.  So exactly how much dumber and distracted are people going to get, if there is no increase in use?  The ability is there regardless, so then I have to wonder where the real disconnect lies.  

Is it a morality issue?  Is it only the idea that simply saying it would be ok for others to choose is, in fact, not ok.

IMHO, people have been programmed for so long to associate marijuana with other drugs, or as part of some agenda or slippery slope.  DARE, Just Say No, "There is No Hope with Dope" , etc that there completely oblivious to the fact that is less harmful than a great deal of things readily available at a gas station.  Instead of it being actually about marijuana and it's affects it's about an ideal of being against drugs.

If we're really worried about the collective IQ of this nation then weed is the least of our worries.  I mean, c'mon.  Can't we turn onur attention to the loads of other things that are actually relevant to these issues?
