Have a heart you guys. I know the article could have been researched and written better. However, I think the writer is just extremely concerned about how legalizing pot may cause harm to society.
I tend to think that the timing of the legislation couldn't be worse. It comes at a time when we are experiencing very serious problems associated with drug use in general.
To me, smoking pot is just one more way to avoid reality...alcohol is bad enough. I think increased drug use is exacerbated by increased stress levels, and the pressures associated with the economic downturn has definitely seemed to increase the overall stress level.
I can imagine how the incidence of road rage will be, when the slower driving pot smokers take to the road, especially in Calgary where there is an overabundance of anxious, frustrated, and speedy drivers.
