The ACLU of Washington has producted a 30 minute infomercial on pot legalization. Rick Steves, the travel guru who has a show on PBS is the host. It's only available here so far, but I'll bet it shows up on youtube in short order.
The thing I find amusing but pitiful is that there was more money spent by anti-smoking advocates last year than there was on anti-drug campains…shows how stupid some people are.
The idea that it follows that with the legalization of Pot parents will smoke in the presence of their children is an example of your lack of logic.
I don't think it is a gateway drug. I've smoked pot but i never tried herion, coke, meth, LSD, XTC, or any other drug. And I grew up around all those drugs but Never wanted to try them. I like pot it's a lot better then drinking. I might cough from smoke but i never threw up, passed out, woke up wondering how did i get here and who is this girl next to me like i did a few times with alcohol.
and what about what i asked originally... if pot is legalized... where do u draw the line... should parents be able to smoke around their children?inpublic? all day non stop? at work? I am kind of curious as to what everyone feels on this...please reply, and let me know how u feel personally.
Why do people have to smoke it at all? there are other ways to take this drug. I would maintain the anti smoking campaigns and public smoking bans and extend that to cannibis smoking if it were legalised.
Mirandycc everyone is expected to be sober at work already (with the exception of rock stars perhaps) why would legalising a new drug result in people taking it at work? When was the last time you saw somebody drinking at work? People do smoke and drink coffee in office hours but they are not particually psycotropic which is probably why they are tolerated.

Some people feel as if marijuana does not impair their ability to function on a regular basis, just like everyone else does...

it should be just like alcohol you can't drink in public you can't drink at work (well maybe if you are a bartender you drink at work) you should not be able to smoke and drive either. As far as doing it all day that's a personal choice. I wouldn't drink or smoke all day long. As far as kids being around again personal choice. Parents drink in front of their kids is that right or wrong. I mean I have been to family functions where everyone is drinking and there are kids there is that wrong? personal choice some will say no nothing wrong with it others will see a big problem with it.

I’m afraid your concept of pot smoking is based on cigarette use by chain smokers… one after another all their awake hours. (For constant users) If the quality of the pot is high a couple of drags in the morning, a couple at noon and a couple in the evening are all they use.

my husband is a pot smoker, and he smokes all day every day.
Alcohol doesn't impair my ability to function on a regular basis (with the exception of a few hangover now and again.) This still doesn't mean I will drink at work even though it is legal. I would be very surprised if people decided to consume cannibis during office hours and moreso if it were tolerated just because it was made legal.

I do not feel drinking around children is as bad as smoking pot around children because the alcohol being drank does not affect the child, however, pot around the child could get the child high..... I also feel if there is a responsible adult not under any influence around to take care of the child while the parent is drunk, high...then it isnt a problem
