I do not think it should become legal, but I also don't think it should be illegal.

I do believe it should be treated in the same fashion as alcohol. Smoke it in privacy is not a problem, just like drinking a beer at home. But like drinking a beer or five at a bar and then driving home is illegal, so should smoking pot and then driving under the influence.

That being said I have to admit that in my younger days, (those days being 1974-1984) I smoked more than my weight in pot. Hell, I couldn't function worth a damn unless I had smoked a joint, and it was a lot cheaper then too. I did my best driving when I was high. I saw everything while I was driving. Maybe even some things that weren't there, but I was an excellent driver. But after I reached thirty, I began to see what it was doing to me. I was getting older and slower, and pot was slowing me even more. I ended up completely quitting. I haven't smoked a joint in over twenty years. I still miss it, I still want it, and I wish I had it. But my lungs are now shot, and I have to suck oxygen through an air line, and I have to ask myself everyday if it was worth everything I had done in my youth. Smoking pot was one of the few pleasures I really had, but it helped lead me to an earlier death. Everytime I lit up a joint, I would chain smoke cigarettes to keep the high. Cigarettes do kill. They just take a little longer.
