Who says I don't feel strongly about crystal meth? But I don't hear people on this board calling for its legalization.

My issues with pot are less to do with addiction and more with what I've seen pot use do to people's behavior/personalities (when they're not high). The "Legalize Pot" people would have you think there are no side effects to pot use, but that is not true. It's the side effects, not the addiction, that are the issue. Perhaps the side effects are symptoms of an addiction, but I think it's more than that.
