“I've never been married, though I was engaged once back in college ...but that ended back in 2001. I'll be completing my masters Dec. 2008. While I'd like to complete my ten years where I'm working at now (after I graduate it'll only be 2.5 years left)... for the right guy, I'd be willing to move before then.”
“I like to enjoy the finer things in life with my special lady. I like to travel, I like the outdoors, fishing, boating ( I can sail and power boat etc ). I like films and trivia, an expert at Jeopardy etc. I enjoy cooking, and fine food. I am an excellent photographer, I also have been published as a writer, in major magazines.”
eHarmony Advice wants to know your opinion on marijuana consumption. More than 10 million Americans admit they are regular marijuana smokers. How do you handle this issue if it comes up in your dating life?
America’s public policy debate on pot rages on. Currently, 13 states have moved to decriminalize marijuana for medicinal use, 1 while several more states and cities have begun reducing penalties for possession and personal use. 2 The federal government has held firm to its position that marijuana is a serious drug deserving serious criminal treatment – even going as far as conducting raids on various medicinal marijuana retailers in California.

Studies tell us that about 10 million Americans are regular marijuana smokers, 3 which makes it more than a little likely that your active dating life will present you with these questions:
• Are you willing to date someone who is a regular marijuana user?
• If so, how much is too much? Are you fine with the weekend toker? The “I only smoke if offered” casual user?
• What is it about marijuana use that makes it a deal breaker for you? Is it the stereotype that pot smokers are lazy? Is it the illegality? Do you believe that it is a gateway drug?
• What if the marijuana is for medicinal purposes? Is that okay?
• If you are a marijuana smoker, when do you share these details in a new relationship?

I'd rather a toker than a hard drinker any day.
I agree with Amnesty International's perspective - people inarcerated for drug offences are political prisoners.
Up until the 1930's virtually everything was legal. It is odd how the two legal drugs are the most toxic - if alcohol or tobacco were discovered today both would be scheduled substances. The only reason they aren't while other drugs are is purely down to vested commercial interests and a concern for loss of control by authorities.
Legalise everything - prohibition doesn't work..
