I would just say that legality is not relevant. Alcohol is legal. The legality of something is a non issue, as is social acceptability, as far as addiction is concerned. Pot in moderation is fine, but pot these days is very, very potent, often mixed with other chemicals, and can absolutely cause psychological dependency, especially if you are self-medicating. I'm almost 10 years clean from a pot addiction. It pretty much ruined my life. Or, to be fair, I ruined my life when i was high all the time.
I still think it should be legal, but don't think that it's somehow less dangerous now that the state says you can smoke it. That's just nonsense.
Regards, Randy
