You'd better see an "A" from that- it was bursting with info, yet succinct and well written.
Be proud.

Well Done!

And no, you didn't offend...
I just took it a little badly and got snappish, my apologies for that, it's a bit of a sore spot with me, is all.

You did good, Kiddo

Hey signy... why is it any of yours or my business if somebody gets high. Worry about you and your own and don't worry about playing nanny to everyone else.

If the government would stop supporting the wretches, and parents took an active role in their kids lives, I don't suppose people would be drawn to the drugs in the first place if there was nothing to fall back on when you hit bottom.

If you legalize it, then we stop funding groups which don't like us none too much and our costs as a nation drop significantly when we're not jailing people for having an ounce of weed and by cutting our law enforcement staff, particularly on the federal level, by at least a third.

I don't have all the details worked out and you asked some tough questions. Since at the moment I'm very VERY busy I'll have to reply later. If I forget, could you bump this up from time to time ? THANKS !

This is very true but one of the worst, alcohol is already legal. I know a guy who was a heroin addict for years and it turns out that kicking the heroin habit was the worst thing he ever did. He substituted alcohol and soon found that it takes a whole lot more alcohol to satisfy an addictive personality than it does heroin. Last I heard he was near death at 50. One thing is for sure, legalization will reduce the number of people in the gene pool with an addictive personality.
