Totally agree. And as for the cumulative effects, I contend that a pothead is less of a menace to society than a drunk. Or maybe they're equally bad. But I can say that in all my years, I never picked a fight when I was baked. Can't say the same about booze. (Especially rye. I'm mean when I drink rye)
