[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 310266, member: 2451"] My apologies for letting my emotions get the better of me. After 30 years of teaching high school, I should know better than anyone that young people are "going to do what they are going to do" It is just that I have seen several lives disrupted, sometimes catastrophically by the pernicious effects of not only marijuana but alcohol and to a lesser extent cocaine and prescription drugs. My own nephew is 28 years old and his life is effectively over due to the combined effects of alcohol and marijuana. He cannot either get a job nor hold a job for any length of time due to drug tests. His brother, my other nephew, committed suicide this past year due to the effects of prescription drugs. My brother in law is either stoned in the morning or drunk in the afternoon. My sister works 6o plus hours a week to effectively support the three of them with her herculean efforts largely negated by ongoing drug issues. It is a sad state of affairs and I am sorry to have brought it on this forum where it does not belong. I just needed to vent my frustrations with the whole business. [/QUOTE]
