Reply #216: I am a non-user [View All]

[verdalaven]

My husband got me high once on my 30th birthday, because he wanted to see me "high". I am now 46, so in 46 years I used that drug once. (for the record, my husband is not a regular user, either-just as a teen, not as an adult)

So this is an opinion of a non-user.

You are arguing from a point of fear, without using facts, just your fear that people will fall down a big drug hole if it is legalized. Fear doesn't accomplish anything and it certainly doesn't help ANYONE think more clearly. And might I point out that the current prohibition on pot has not prevented your son from using. How would legalizing it change that fact?

Legalize it, regulate it and tax the crap out of it. And if you are really worried about your son, get him into rehab.

PS - You do realize that not all families are full of addicts, right? It took me a while to realize that truth after leaving my childhood home. Alcoholism is a major problem in my family so I made the choice not to drink. Other people don't have that problem, so why should I inflict my choice on them?
