Teens who smoke pot are less likely to marry and hold down a job as adults

According to the article, “Most of the volunteers had a relative with a history of drinking problems too.”
Gee, I wonder how many of the “heavy weed users” we’re NOT also heavy drinkers. Also, how many were actually alcoholics, given they’re descendants of alcoholics and therefore genetically prone. Because I don’t need a study to tell you that alcoholics, people with addictive disorders in general, are less likely to succeed in life. That’s not to say they CAN’T succeed…they just have an uphill battle because first they have to overcome addiction.
I smell a flawed study trying to stop the legalization efforts through “misinterpreted data”.

Your Voice: What concerns do you have on the legalization of marijuana?

One concern: That it won’t happen soon enough.
It’s time. Get on with it already. Stop lying about supposed dangers in order to pretend prohibition works. It didn’t work for booze and it doesn’t work for drugs. People who get into trouble using drugs need help, not jail, whether the drug is weed, heroin, cocaine, booze, tobacco, or whatever.
Allowing some drugs as acceptable, while treating the use of others as an arrestable crime is the pique of hypocrisy, and persists only as an excuse for illegal profiling tactics, such as “stop-and-frisk”. I mean, what would they do if they couldn’t arrest at least SOME of the people after they’ve been illegally searched? If they couldn’t lock ’em up for a joint or a couple of pills…pocket lint with a seed in it, they’d have to just let them go. Where’s the fun in that?
