i would have to agree that i am glad it failed as well.. and im not even from the usa.. i have lost friends to pot and other "claimed to be low risk" drugs.. half of my family (unkles and such) have pot addictions and have divided my family in two over their bad decisions. also, the friends that i used to know that are now regular pot smokers are very different people and have really lost a lot of potential to further better themselves as humans.. i dont even know who these people are anymore..
i am quite put off by pot use only because i have first hand experience of how crappy it can turn a normal situation into..
this whole "legalize it" crap just annoys me every time i see it..
