"No, cause I don’t really want to be run down by some jacknut that’s high driving a semi (no offense to trucker, just an example)."
That's exactly the currently existing risk you face every day with alcohol being legal. I've heard the same story for the last 25 years. "I don't want to have a bus driver/pilot/trucker/etc... smoking pot driving my bus/plane/etc"... You know what? That's exactly what's happening right now exept those exact same folks have been drinking alcohol instead of smoking marijuana. The exact same "Under the influence/While intoxicated" laws should apply to the Marijuana user as well as the alcohol user. It's a legislative issue at the most.
"I prefer alcohol to other substances and I’m responsible enough to know when I should and shouldn’t drink."
True enough. The exact same attitude applies to pot smokers. I applaud you on your maturity and control. Do you think that marijuana smokers have less control than you do?
"Anyone see the Hippies thing on History channel? It was interesting to find out that LSD came from our government and wasn’t illegal till the 60s."
I didn't see that, but I'm not concerned with LSD. That's another of those substances that has to be processed by MAN. Pot grows in the wild without any intervention by humans.
"Anyhow…I see it as a double edged sword."
Definitely, would you please elaborate on that? I am interested in hearing exactly what your thoughts are.
