I have seen people go that way.

And I have seen others smoke regularly while completing college with honors. I know an attorney that has been a casual user since he was 18. He is now in his 50s.

It is the same as with alcohol. Some can handle it; some can't.

I smoked it a few times a few decades ago. I didn't like the way I felt when i was high. So I just said no.

For a long time I didn't really care if it was legal or not.

Now I wish it was legal because I suffer from chronic pain. Lots of research points to marijuana as a superior controller for chronic pain.

... and for those people mature enough to smoke without screwing their life

I believe in freedom

(by the way - you know drug laws and penalties are the toughest in communist countries - right?)

I don't know that smoking is mature per se
Just as I don't think that drink is mature - or, eating high fat food

but if you are a mature person, you can indulge without OVER indulging

Letting people smoke isn't all that bad, as long as they keep it to themselves and not spread it around.

Just that...if you smoke, don't force people around you to use it.
