You can't really compare tobacco to alcohol to pot, the only thing that they really have in common is that they are toxic. I prefer to look at it this way: Tobacco - no brain damage. Alcohol - brain damage after long term use. Pot - brain damage much faster than from alcohol. If you want to debate the brain damage issue you clearly never paid attention to heavy smoking friends or smoke enough yourself to already gone slow in the head. I have closely observed a number of friends that used to smoke every day and how they all have grown slower processing thoughts and speaking. Potheads first defense is always this, and looking at a few biased bloody researchpapers does not make pot into cotton candy. Get a grip folks.

Well, here's to hoping we get another shot at it in 2012.
This is true and valid . The line must be drawn somewhere though. Legalize pot, then what is next?
