couldn't agree with you more there. You also reinforced my comment about how a weed habit is benign and can be maintained responsibly by stalwart people (including profs, doctors, etc.)

If a person has the predisposition to binge and get hooked on something, they'll find something to do it with. Unfortunately for us, sometimes it's weed that they abuse, which shouldn't reflect badly on weed, but only on themselves. It's what I meant when I mentioned junk food and coffee. It's often not the substance itself, but the loser hiding behind it trying to escape something that needs reform.
