- inactive, on 11/07/2008, -1/+11I'm 27 years old, have a degree, work in the printing industry.
I'm married with 2 children, own my home (well me and the bank), own two cars and make about $45,000-$50,000 a year (household income is about $75,000).
I've an active PTA parent, and do volunteer work for a non-profit animal rescue organization, and play in a flag football league (and sometimes bowl in a bowling league).
I've smoked "weed" everyday since I was 17.
Thanks for your misguided concern though... - sodade, on 11/13/2008, -0/+8"but the true question is would you want your children to smoke?"
That is a good question. I will say this: I would rather my kid smoke cannabis at a party than take alcohol, cigarettes or any other drug to get high. - bluebettle, on 11/08/2008, -0/+7All of the Beatles, for one.
- ccheath, on 11/13/2008, -0/+6so are these people

crazy long list with links to similar lists at the end - thepoliticalcat, on 11/12/2008, -0/+6We really NEED to get rid of this drug czar and the war on drugs that are sucking up tax dollars with no results. Legalize drugs and tax them heavily. People have proved over millenia now that they will find a way to get high even if it involves licking toads. Well, let them. And let them pay for the privilege. Use the tax revenue to improve society and everyone will be happy.
- smotpoker, on 11/13/2008, -0/+5I might have been successful without weed charges disrupting my financial aid and costing me jobs :(.
I can say that it has never caused me to be late for work or impacted my job performance enough to stand out as worse than co-workers. I've also learned to admin a couple of OSes, a few programming languages and a fair amount of networking knowledge while getting high approx once every four hours.
Essentially, I am successful at doing whatever I want to while smoking weed - when government/social standards don't intentionally try to make me fail for it. - kemp34, on 11/13/2008, -0/+5Only failures at life would be interested in imposing draconian laws such as prohibition of marijuana on the people. It is stupid, it is ignorant, it is the worst of the "nanny state" mentality, it is morally foolish and wrong, it is a waste of money.
- GanjaBlue, on 11/07/2008, -1/+6I'm one of them.
- sodade, on 11/13/2008, -0/+5I'm 40 years old with a 22 year career in tech making enough cash to actually pay more taxes under Obama (I still voted for him because I am not a douchebag).
I am a "boy scout" in my local community, volunteering many hours to help out my less fortunate neighbors.
I have done more than 200,000 feet of climbing on my road and mountain bikes this year.
I don't watch TV.
I haven't been drunk in 18 years.
In the last 18 years, I have not taken any prescription drugs - I have refused to take post op painkillers after two surgeries.
18 years ago, I kicked both cigarettes and prozac with the help of cannabis, which I now smoke most days after work during my exercise time.
I piss on your lame ass stereotypes and am infuriated to see my tax dollars paying the salary of anti-drug warriors who are paid to deceive the american people. - VIPelle, on 11/10/2008, -1/+6There's a list of over 150 successful cannabis consumers with their stories at www.VeryImportantPotheads.com.

Just like I wouldn't want my kid snacking on candy all day and a diabetic by age 25, I wouldn't want him to be a burned-out uneducated moron by that age either - but that does not mean either should be forsaken altogether.
Personally I could care less about occasional consumption of either, nor should anyone else IMO, whether it's my own kids or not. If they ever manage to prove cannabis smoke does cause/promote cancer I might change my tune but decades of research/studies indicate that is not very likely (the opposite, actually)... and even then I would not advocate criminalization. - whrrd, on 11/13/2008, -0/+3I'm still in college on my way to earning a bachelor's degree in about six years. Does that count? :D
- bactin, on 11/09/2008, -0/+1personally i really dont care what people do, legalize drugs people will sort themselves out.
but the true question is would you want your children to smoke? - shashovard, on 02/06/2009, -0/+0We can go to medical marijuana users as well. Montel Williams, heavily decorated navy veteran and talk show host. Documented on his own website as treatment for his MS http://hotnews.000hosted.com/
