Fair enough, isn't the same true with alcohol? People abuse it young, and it ruins their lives? By this logic, alcohol needs to go too. So does sugar, unhealthy food, and anything else the government can 'protect you from', not to mention dangerous activities like skiing, driving motorcycles, etc, etc.

I'm one of the people you mentioned above, and I hold down a sweet job, work my ass off, and am respected in my industry. As far as I'm concerned I'm proof that your point is invalid. Those people were going to be losers regardless of whether they smoked weed or not.
