: The youth of America deserve to have a ciggarette after all the things they do throughout the course of a day. Smoking is good for you, so why do the people not want the youngsters smoking. Not only should the kids smoke but they should do drugs too, Marijuanna is a proven stress reliever and spirit lifter. Every one knows that there is nothing wrong with pot, so why is it illegal. Legalize it, legalize it legalize it legalize it legalize it!!!!! That is all I have to say

MB:
You legalize pot, then what's gonna be next? Coke? The Big H (Epidemic in 2 Texas communities, Plano and Denton)??!!!

As for pot being "harmless", I've heard of a previously-gifted person who is now like a 2-year-old due to that stuff. A high-school acquaintance who I quess at the time was an occasional user told me of a joint he once smoked. He told me that he thought it was a dud because it did nothing...at first...but a few days later just out of the blue it "kicked in"....he called his dad a "motherfucker", all of a sudden. Still think pot is harmless?!!!

I admit I used to dip snuff and chew tobacco, and then I went to Marlboro and Winston, as well as the occasional Viceroy...cigars too! I've also been plastered-drunk on a few occasions. I don't use tobacco today, and I only occasionally have at most 3 beers.

But no child of mine will use tobacco or alcohol until he/she is 18, and he/she won't be using the illegal stuff under my roof...ever!!! I wouldn't be the kind of parent who snoops around in the kid(s) room(s) at random. When I was a teenager in Ft. Worth (late 70's-early 80's), I had a friend whose mother did just that on a random basis...behind his back when he was out!!! Supposedly because it was "messy"...but my room was much worse!!! He was a good kid, btw...I never knew him to use tobacco, booze, or anything illegal. Getting back on track, I wouldn't do that to my kids...unless they did something to violate my trust, such as the above vices.

To close, you really do need to think about what you posted! Would you really let your children do that shit?!!!

Mike.
