Peanut gallery, Wow ..you really hung around some losers! All the pot smokers I knew grew up to be pretty good people, most of them hard workers with college educated children to show for it. It was the drinkers that didn't fair so well.. I graduated in 1975.

to adam s. of duluth who thinks those opposed to legalizing marijuana are ignorant, I think you have a thing or two to learn yet. Go spend some time at the jail, NERCC, and the rehab centers. Take a good look at those people and get to know a few. Chances are you will be joining them.

danny c i love your comment "The only thing you risk when getting high is getting hungry" Love your ignorance. Tell that to the family of the friend I lost when he was stuck by a dope head that couldn't wait the time it takes for pizza delivery and decided to drive to pick it up while stone. I have not touched the stuff in 11yrs and at that time the only reason i used it was for back pain to help me sleep. So I do agree that it can help with pain. But since then with excercises and stretching i've learned there has been no need. I think it is hilarious that when this subject comes up 1000's of potheads rise to the occasion to say legalize it. Almost 100% of the people i know that have or are wasting their lives on it wish they had more money, or better lives. The one thing they all have in common is they would rather sit around get high, and do nothing. Hmmmm...wonder why they are like that. Now for those of you that say I know tons of people that smoke and are productive that is fine. I said of the people that i know. and again i do not smoke and have not in years. and lead a productive family with a wife and kids. For all the pot smokers out there ask yourself this one question and answer it truthfully. Would you want your kids to start smoking this stuff. Its just like asking gang members would you want your kids to grow up in this life style. They all answer no. What does that tell you?

If it wasn't illegal they wouldn't be growing it! The demand will always be high and the profit is even higher. If it was legal and regulated it would be harder to get as a child, like alcohol. The "dealers" with the meth and other hard drugs wouldn’t have all that money our community would. If prohibition works than why is it easier for my child to get pot than booze? I am sick of seeing my tax money being wasted prohibition on a plant. As a parent I am not afraid my children will use cannabis it's that law enforcement might take away their ability to get school loans, good jobs, and future with an arrest record for something that over half of us have done before. I bet our president is glad he never got caught while he was in Harvard. Stand up and stop the arrests. Join NORML.org

FROM THE MODERATOR: The matter, which occurred in Hermantown, was handled by St. Louis County, not the Duluth Police Department.

There are always the one or two exceptions that everyone likes to point out. The vast majority of anyone big into using any form of drug, alcohol, meth, pot, crack, coke, bennies, betties, ecstasy, ludes, acid, heroine... you name it, has problems in life. Yes, Alcohol is a larger problem right now, maybe that is because it is legal. What would really happen is marijuana use were legalized for un-monitored use??? And as for the exceptions mentioned... 3 past presidents... what is their use like now. Plus, were any of them great... The best president we've had since JFK was Ronald Reagan.

Hey peanut gallery - the last three Presidents of the United States smoked pot at one time. Nah - those three never had ambition! But you are right - everyone I have ever met who abuses drugs, alcohol chief among them, is pretty screwed up. Maybe we should make alcohol illegal again, have the government tell us how to live our lives. How many people died from alcohol last year? How many people died from smoking pot?
