My $0.02....
I've never smoked pot, and don't plan on ever doing so... But I have seen WAAAAAY more damage caused by alchoholism than anyone I know who smokes pot on a regular basis.
Several people in my family are severe alchoholics and I would much rather see them sitting at home on the couch lighting up a fat blunt then out in the bar getting trashed, detroying thier livers, and getting stupid enough to go out and driving around endangering OTHER PEOPLE.
If pot makes people mellow and lazy, EXCELLENT! I work in Retail and repairs! If you've worked for any extented period of time with the public you'd understand where I'm coming from on this. ALOT of people would have alot less stress if pot was legal. Sides, the stuff's easy enough to come by anyway. Making it legal really wouldn't be that harmful.
