except all the pot smokers would eat up all the donuts, causing the police to begin chasing them (illegally) and thus the cycle perpetrates itself...

Pot was the easiest drug for me to quit of all of em... I really didn't like the stuff... It makes ya wimpy. I also got the oppossite effect you guys got and it seemed to make me more aware of the pain that I could ignore without it. It did increase appetite but that has never been a problem with me. I found that I couldn't function well on it.

I see no problem with legalizing it but.... I want the same penalties as for drinking.. I don't want to share the roads with the potheads or work alongside em on a job that there is any possibility of accidents.

Yup...my true name is Pluto bin Laden.

Actually, I belong to a much more dangerous group: free-thinkers, neither conservative nor liberal, spiritual but not religious, for whom hypocrisy & greed are among the worst personal traits one can have.

Growing up & living just outside Washington, DC most of my life, I've had more than enough contact with our leaders. I've found almost all of them (Democrats & Republicans) to be the kind of people Jesus spoke out against so powerfully: self-righteous hypocrites in high places (i.e. the Pharisees). The same people who condemn marijuana smokers as supporting terrorism encourage (and profit from) the sale of American tobacco products all over the world, killing millions. Yet they see themselves as righteous, freedom-loving, and fair-minded. They could not be more wrong.

An excellent book: "Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do" (The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in Our Free Country), by Peter McWilliams; Prelude Press. Fun to read and very informative. Should be required reading for every college freshman.

Laz is right when he says we should have the same laws for pot & alcohol should be the same. These penalties should be tougher, in my opinion. Impaired driving, by any drug, or just being irresponsible and driving when exhausted, should be a much more serious crime than it is now.

Laz's comments are also interesting because they demonstrate that we are all different when it comes to how we will react to any particular drug. For many, many people, marijuana is a safer, more enjoyable drug than alcohol. Let's have some freedom of choice in the USA!

By the way, when it comes to driving and using drugs I've heard of three studies: two in the Netherlands and one in the US during the first Bush presidency. All three concluded that drinking alcohol and driving was far more dangerous than smoking marijuana and driving. Nevertheless, impaired drivers should not be tolerated. Rights & responsibility are two sides of the same coin.

Enough of this rant for now. I'll wait for some response to it.

pluto... I am a libertarian by nature... I have no problem with legalized drugs even tho I know it will have the same effect that putting out pidgeon feeders in the park would have... I say legalize it and let the first wave of lemmings die and hope they don't kill me.

As to the studies... I would bet that if you took a person unused to pot and had him smoke half a joint of good weed that he wouldn't even be able to start the car.. conversely.... I drove dead drunk for years every day and never had a wreck... I still believe that I drove better drunk than some did sober but... If I were to get drunk now... after a 16 year absence... I would probly crash before I traveled a block... There simply needs to be stiff penalties for operating dangerous equipment while intoxicated with no exceptions. I would say that a second offence of intoxicated driving (in say a 5 year period) should be considered attempted murder.
