The people I hear defend marijuana the loudest are usually those who are deepest in denial about their own addiction. Sure it's a plant, so is the poppy and we all know what comes from that lovely flower.
Like any other drug, we have to decide whether we really want to continue living with it as the main focus of our lives, for us and the addict...or if we'd rather live without it and move on to healthier choices and people who can be with us mentally and enjoy our company.
We have choices, never forget that, okay?
