First, comparing driving under the influence and marijuana and driving drunk is like comparing apples to oranges. You FAR more impaired drunk. I know this from personal experience. Do agree with driving stoned? I don't think its a great idea, but its no worse than taking a pain pill and driving, which is far from seeing double and swerving in and out traffic drunk.

Saying marijuana is a gateway drug is just a stereotype and a way to make it look bad. You're preaching to the choir there, btw, as I've been clean from coke and meth since May 25th, 2005. I picked those drugs up before I ever took my first toke. Almost every friend I have smokes pot and I have a lot of friends. Not a single one uses any hard drugs (heroin, meth, cocaine, etc). But, most crackheads also smoke pot because its cheap, hence the stereotyping.

And yes, a lot of potheads drink as well. Guess what, far more people drink than smoke pot. Honestly, I don't see why, if alcohol, which is far more dangerous and CAN KILL YOU is legal, why can't marijuana be legal. The ill effects are far less dangerous and its not addicting. No, don't argue, its not addicting, plain and simple. No one has ever died of a marijuana overdose either. Its just not possible.

So I stand by my word. Marijuana should be legalized and regulated just like any other substance. Heck, for all I care, shoot up, do lines, smoke rock if you want in your own home. Its your life and you should have the right to do with it as your please as long as you aren't hurting anyone but yourself.

Be damned if anyone is going to tell me what goes in and out of my body.

Do I condone G3 driving high? Not really, but its not the end of the world either.

But anyways, I do not hunt anymore. I haven't in years.
