Jeff Zero: Definitely a weird case. Although I have heard through a couple sources that smoking weed can actually be beneficial to those who suffer from asthma. I'm surprised it went better the second time though, eating weed generally results in a much, much more intense high.
As for the topic. I would like to see it legalized just because it's really a shame to see good people go to jail for enjoying or selling something so harmless. But I would have to say a very large portion of pot smokers really can't handle the drug as well as they think they can. The effects of long-term use are so subtle that people think it isn't harming them in any way, yet their motivation goes to ****, their short-term memory suffers and they start coughing for "no reason".
I mean there are a ton of people who keep it under control and really don't let it affect their lives, but I think so many more are just completely oblivious to how it has changed them. I'd rather see LSD, Mushrooms and MDMA legalized to be completely honest.
