Yes, I have. Any substance that alters the mind. This also includes nicotine, alcohol, etc. I should have worded it better. What I meant by that, is pot isn't heroin, ecstacy, cocaine, etc, and shouldn't be treated/viewed as such.

You should have come and ridden with me when I worked Stop6/Poly Einstien.
You'd see first hand what I've been exposed to for years.
What I've seen just doesn't jive with what you're trying to feed me.
I can only imagine what you've seen in that area. What the rest of us are trying to get at, is that you're dealing with people that do a lot more than just pot.
Pot is not a gateway drug. By the same logic that you and others use that pot is a gateway drug, so is alcohol, and nicotine, is what UserX was getting at.
Simply put, there are people with addictive personalities out there. These people are going to be addicted to something. Anything. Doesn't matter, because it's in their DNA to have an addictive personality. Could be eating, shopping, sex, chocolate, or heroin. Pot doesn't lead these people down that path. Their addictive personality leads them down that path.
Sure, some of the people you deal with have pot on them. But they are using much harder drugs like crack, meth, PCP, etc. The harder drugs and the effects of their use is what you deal with. Not a couple of stoners. IF all you had to worry about was stoners, you'd get laid off because there would be nothing to do but sit around and watch people get the munchies, giggle for hours on end, etc.

I agree that hard drugs are a problem, but I do not consider pot a hard drug.
So you think these people all started with pot? Do you think they drank alcohol before smoking pot? Are you saying that alcohol should also be illegal?
