Should marijuana be a medical option?

Brian said:Oh yeah, so all the tweakers in my town can cook their poison right next door to my house and not get busted for it. I love that idea...like it's not bad enough just having them there drops my property value as much as it does.
I'm sorry, but today's people are not smart enough to manage themselves like that. It doesn't matter how much you try to educate them. It's like birth control and teen pregnancy. Teach them all you want about condoms and morning after pills: At the end of the day, half of 'em are still gonna be mothers/fathers-to-be and shitting their pants about it.
On the up-side, there'd potentially be TONS of job opportunities for us decent folk, because tons more people would turn into useless piles who sit on their couch high all day. I'd just have to carry -two- concealed weapons instead of just one...because I sure as hell ain't waiting on the cops to come when Joe Meth Chef tries to steal my shoes or something. ******'s getting shot dead.

But I can't say I know any actual recreational stoners that are very useful in life. From personal observation they're all pretty much fat and lazy and unmotivated as could be. And after working with so many of them, if I ran a business there's no way in hell I'd hire someone who smokes weed. I'd put out the cash for random, on-the-spot drug tests if I had to. Good luck getting them to try to do better than just scrape by...I'm not even exaggerating. It's incredibly depressing to see, especially when you realize how bad they bring down the guy they're working for, who hired them to try and give 'em a chance. In return, they silently say 'fresia you'.

I don't buy the 'gateway drug' speech people try to give. Weed might be harmless compared to meth or cocaine. The people involved with it are usually friendly enough and maybe they don't go out on massive crime sprees or whatever. But it's not like they do anything ELSE, either. Not that I've seen.

I love that idea...like it's not bad enough just having them there drops my property value as much as it does. Not to mention -I'm- breathing that honeysuckle, and drinking it when they dump god-knows-what in to the local water supply. And then there's the lovely people that will be drawn to my neighborhood crack house. I just can't wait to meet them as I walk down to the cafe for coffee and breakfast.
Don't get me started on the EXPLOSION hazard of your typical meth lab. Nothing is more volatile. I'd rather live next to a propane pipeline.
They can legalize all that stuff as long as they also legalize the mass slaughter that will take place on my lawn as I defend my property from the people coming to loot my house for their next fix.
