I also said no. Just because at this point in my life, I am over the whole drug thing.
I did plenty of them in college, got it out of my system. Now I tend to judge people who insist on smoking pot as adults on a more than once in a blue moon basis.
I said yes, because it is sorta-kinda legal here and I have smoked. But honestly, it makes me cough like a 6th grader trying her first cigarette. The high isn't worth the discomfort, so I'd rather just drink beer. I would still eat brownies or whatever on occasion, I guess.

i think the government is crazy not to decriminalize/legalize - then they could tax it, and spend police manpower on more important things like catching rapists, murderers and child molesters.

Why? it's not like smoking is the only way to get it into your system.
(and they've given me inhalable shi1 that irritates my nasal passages and lungs as treatment for athsma more times than I can count...and they didn't have side effects of working as cough suppressents)
I would partake like I do with alcohol. Every once in a while, and occasionally to season my food.
Really though, if it were legal I probably would. But it's not, and that's reason enough for me not to. Also, I am a tight wad and if I remember correctly pot is expensive.

I suppose I should check and see if my insurance covers it at some point... they won't cover the damn medically reccomended botox (I don't need botox but it's a neurological treatment to numb nerves--like botox was intended to be used for)

It was not a smart thing to do. But I was 20 and I knew EVERYTHING.
