Well, on that we can agree. There are some dangers of using pot. I don't think anyone has really denied that. I think the gist of what's been said is that the percieved dangers aren't borne out by facts.
However, people engage in activites all the time that could cause some harm to themselves. Life is about risk. Should a government be in the business of protecting citizens from themselves? For their own good? That's antithetical to what this country was founded upon. My arguments might not hold sway in the nanny-states of the UK or Australia, but personal freedom should be our highest ideal in the US.
