Eh, that's why they said about alcohol. I think alcohol is abused each and every minute of every day.

I just can't say my experience was the same. I was in a very altered state of mind. Alcohol affected me more, but pot left me with a much better feeling, leaving me wanting more.

I would hope not-- but if they would even let a 16 year old use (What a crock)-- who knows. Besides it goes back to the testing-- how would we know?

I personally think it should be based on whether or not it would benefit more people than it would hurt. Ihave not weighed those options, so I can only state my issues with the legalization. I also think legalizing pot would lead to more illegal drugs becoming legalized (or at least more people assuming they aren't harmful either, the gov't is just trying to stop them from having fun, LOL). I think its a slippery slope to play on.
