It is so not a dealbreaker to me as long as it is not 24/7!

I grew up in the 60's & 70's & indulged in pot as a choice over alcohol & smoking. I still on occasion, indulge. I am a happy,well-adjusted, active, productive member of society, and do not characterize myself as a person who"needs to be high" to enjoy life. It has not kept me from doing anything I wanted to do with my life. Iam dismayed by people who trash it's recreational or medical use, and then go knock back a few drinks every night, or smoke a pack of cigarettes, or need prescription drugs to get through the day; they are more maladjusted, in my opinion. There are those who abuse it, true, but look how full the bars are at happy hour. The time has come for these old stereotypes to fall!

I say legalize it! My son who died of cancer used it until the day he died to help quell the nauseau of chemotherapy. He couldn't eat before taking to real marijuana, not marinol (that synthethic junk). My own personal physican who was a Colonel in the Army and second in command of Fitzsimmons Hospital in Denver advised me to let him smoke marijuana due to the chemo. What a great decision it was for my wife and I to do so. More people would benefit from it on a medical basis, plus honestly it is not even close to alcohol as far as bending your brain around. We should keep it from our youth, as it can affect their development, but an adult WHY NOT? I was estactic when Colorado finally passed the medical marijuana law! Go Colorado!!!!

I agree with you completely! I had breast cancer a few years ago, & while on chemotherapy, I could only keep food down, or even have an appetite, if I smoked. All the meds they gave me for pain & nausea did not work at all.

I will dump a man if I find out he smokes weed or anything else.I am not into drugs and I demand that he doesn't either.

If you hitched your star toa career field in any area where the words "arrest" "conviction" "drugs" "jail" "bail" "felony" or even "misdemeanor" would forever bar you...or at the very least cause irreperable harm to your reputation, DO NOT date, live with, marry, or continue to see/be around a partner who smokes marijuana. You run the risk of living up to their reputation whether you participate or not. You know about it, you are there, you may very well take the fall.


The debate over whether it should be legal or not, etc., makes no difference. Where do you want to end up? Moreover, that your partner does not care whether you risk everything or not, pretty much says that you are not first in your partner's priorities.


If you "put your foot down" and tell them they will notsmoke marijuanaor you will leave, get your bags packed because it won't be long....probably a day or two...before you hear the lies, find the evidence, or just get it tossed in your face. If you are lucky you will leave and not have garnered any of the words mentioned before to drag around in your life.


To feel better, visualize the future with him...some old doper, the neighborhood "go to guy", still smoken and token as if he were a 16 year old loser and now he's 30, 40, 50. UGH! "Cool" does not come to mind.


Yes there are worse things...but this is about marijuana...it just goes nowhere in its own way.

Cam! I don't believe it! We finally agree on something. In fact, given the opportunity, and in the spirit of burying the proverbial hatchet, I most certainly would sharewith you. We could consider my gift of atonement to you.

I can understand this being a deal breaker for you're a typical conservative. For me its the complete opposite! Most people who hate on the ganja more than likely don't know a damn thing about what medical research has shown. Factspeople, look at the FACTS. Its the hypocrytical/brainwashing/political figures that give the hemp plant a bad name. Don't get me wrong, although I sound like a pothead right now(I'm NOT)I do believe that too much of ANY one thing...has got to be a bad thing. However, for the open-minded risk takersout there, spark up and start "slowing downtime" to enjoy God's gift to the WORLD.


Love, Peace, Harmony (i'm not a hippy I swear!)
