The vast majority of the most talented, educated, successful and creative people I know smoke marijuana in one form or another. They - and occasionally I – smoke it the way they – and I – drink alcohol, that is, without kicking the arse out of it. Some people I know have been doing it for years and years and years and have not yet turned into Charles Manson. I have never known anyone to smoke a joint then pick a fight. What tires me most are those people who ensconce themselves on the moral high ground and preach that it will lead to "stronger stuff". Not necessarily it won't. And if it does, chances are you were heading for the harder stuff anyway.
