#4 I've been for this for years. There are more and more professionals that I know that are occasional closet tokers. Like any other drug, you have to be aware of the side effects, like, losing your train of LOOK AT THAT BIRD OVER THERE!

#5 Unique Battle: What? Where?

Oh, I thought I saw something. But never mind. You drink from your cup and I'll drink from mine.

You guessed wrong.

You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...

#7 One of the best friends of my brother the pharmacist is addicted to cannabis (if feels so odd to use the botanical term, but if that's what the professionals are using...), and has been since high school. He's a county assistant prosecuting attorney. Otherwise he's a wonderful man, a good husband and father, and a crackerjack lawyer.

#11 Uses daily, Frank G., can't function as usual without it. There's always a small subset of the population excessively sensitive to something. Mr. Wife could die of anaphylactic shock if he ate an apple. The last time he tried, they kept him in hospital for three days.

#12 TW - that's a singular failing in that person. There's no evidence Pot leads to addiction in people who did not already exhibit the same behavior, IIUC. Just like alcohol, if you have the dependencies "itch", you'll find your fix. Pot would seem the least-immediate-gratification of all the opportunities. I went to college - I know :-)
