I've known a lot of alcohol & tobacco addicts. I know a lot of MJ users. Alcohol & tobacco destroyed my parents & many of their friends. Also, effected our family finacially & caused dysfunctionalty. Other than being criminalized by the system, I've never known MJ to cause addiction. I know a lot of people who used only MJ & readily quit. Few of these people were destructive. Most of the MJ smokers that I have known never used stronger substances. Their have been some who graduated only because they were exposed to hard core drugs by hard core criminals. If we had decriminalization of MJ, most people would not meet this dangerous element & the link would be broken. Crime would go down, along with profits. I for one would rather have people using quality MJ than the legal drugs, alcohol & tobacco. This is the curse of our previous generations still being foisted on new generations. How come our wrong-headed legislators can't see this? But, prohibition is not the answer. In comparison, MJ is relatively benign. There will always be abusers. The answer is treatment. Which is 1/10th the cost of prison & way more effective. Holland's example is the way to go. They see less addiction there & treat addicts as people who need help & compassion. :thumbsup:
