OK, I shouldda left off the snark.

I'm with you on what people do on their own time is their biz, otoh, if someone is an adult applying for a job with some degree of responsibility, making the decision that they can pick'n chose which laws to follow does say something about them. Personally I think weed should be legal, because the demand is not going away and people use it anyway. I personally don't use it and wouldn't start if it were legalized, and while it's not as harmful as Reefer Madness etc portray, it's far from harmless, especially before some age (16, 21?) when your brain has finished doing whatever organizing it gets up to. During that time it can cause lasting brain changes which are not for the better.

So, limiting the topic to just MJ: Legalizing it will probably result in more permanently messed up stoners in the short run, while a large number of people will have a small amount now and then with no ill effects, especially if they take it in via some route other than smoke. Some will even benefit via infrequent mj helping them to de-stress, and a few will get relief from side effects of chemo, glaucoma, etc, although that could be done with extracts of the plant.

Eventually, people will settle into whatever level of destructive behavior they were headed for anyways, and it'll be managed as well or as badly as we handle social ills in general. Where parents don't care many kids will be stoned, where they do they (mostly) won't.

Your last sentence is a whole issue in itself, is way too late at night now to go into that.
