Does pot consumption makes you stronger to defend the republic? No, its another way to flee reality. It is a gateway drug, simple as that. Do I care if you use it? No, but then society should not spend a dime to help you if you become an addict. Same for the snow sniffers, heroin users etc. Let them die. No narcane, safe the taxpayer this money. Same for the alcoholics. Not a cent of taxpayers money. If you drive high and hurt someone, then 10 years hard labor first offense. Second offense: death penalty.
