I say legalize is so all the potheads can get high and drive themselves off of a cliff.
but seriously, I don't understand what motivates people to do so much harm to themselves. Sucking on a stick that gives you cancer doesn't sound like all that good of an idea to me.
Now I'm not saying that I don't like to have a drink evey now and then, and on the VERY VERY rare occasion that I do drink, I stay way below my limits. What happens when you have too much to drink? You puke it up. To me that is your body telling you that the crap is not supposed to be there, so why keep gulping more down? What happend when kids first try smoking? They cough like crazy. That is the body telling them "what the Fu*& are you doing, stop it." When I sit back and observe people it amazes me how many of them are slowly taking years off of their life.
I guess that everybody has the right to do to themselves whatever they want to. But for myself, I'd rather not waste away brain cells and turn my lungs into tar pits and end up with cancer some day.
