Because I don't see those people you are talking about. They're not around me, and they weren't around me down in Florida either.

Oh, you're on one of your soapboxes. I guess you never inhaled,eh? And you're going to look down your nose at those of us who have, and call us "users". What a trip, you are.
A lot of the doctors and lawyers and CEO's you have dealt with the past the past 20 or 30 years have probaly inhaled, a good portion of them anyway. I doubt any of them are "users", though. More than half the kids in school have TRIED pot. Just like they've tried alcohol.
