Cut off his welfare. He'll starve his kids with it or without it.
Don't punish the responsible citizens who happen to like pot just because the miscreants use it.

You cannot save people from themselves.
I've tried with a number of people.
Bottom line, it's on them.
Future substance abusers are on their own.
The sooner they eliminate themselves, the better.
Not my problem.
Not my fault.

I don't think the Libtards have the right to tell me how to live.
That thought applies equally to those on the "right".

Just my harsh opinion.

You will find a lot more alcoholics doing this than pot smokers (like 80 - 20)... Addicts will find a way. Pot is a lot less additive than booze.

What about the welfare abuser who sells his SNAP card so he can buy marijuana while his kids starve??

That has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted.

First, marijuana is not addictive, I have smoked it off and on from the time I was 13-years old until about 6-years ago; I never had a problem with it. At the age of 58-years of age I can tell you I have never known anybody, nor I have heard of anybody who is addicted to it.

If you know someone who thinks they are addicted to it, or you think they are, I am telling you now that the problem is not the weed. They are lazy of mind and body, and weak in spirit, in other words, a loser. The person selling their SNAP card for weed is a loser with or without the weed, it is a personal problem and not a marijuana problem.

Myself, I believe with all my heart that alcohol is a far bigger problem and far more dangerous than pot. With that said, pot like alcohol should not be used by kids, like alcohol it is for adults.

I can tell you now, I have had to kick a lot of addictions throughout my life, alcohol, cocaine, valium, tobacco, and I have battled diets and food most of my life, pot has never been a problem. Alcohol causes a hell of a lot more problems, property damage, medical expenses and deaths than pot ever will, and far-far more are addicted to it. BTW, I have never seen a person get high on weed and have a car accident.

If the news says they were high on pot, you can bet on them being high on something else as well; pot stays in the body much longer than just about anything else, so it gets a lot of blame. Pot is cheaper than a lot of other drugs, so people usually have some on them when they are busted and already consumed the other stuff, not to mention have been drinking as well.

Lastly I will tell you this. I know a lot of people, more smoke pot than those of us who do not. Many of these people have very good jobs, have families, own their home and many have businesses, all of them are functional and successful; none of them are addicted or have a problem with marijuana.
