I sense a little bit of silliness in this thread. I'm all for legalization of drugs, but to argue that there are no real adverse effects of pot is plain stupid. I wouldn't knowingly get into a car driven by someone under the influence. I've experienced several friends disappear into a lethargy brought on by their incessant pot use. I've terminated business relationships with stoners because of their unreliability.
The argument that these people probably had those traits (or a tendency toward them) is as valid as saying that someone who drinks alcohol and acts inappropriately "had it in them anyway". Altered thinking can and often does lead to dumb decisions.
