Arnold Keeps Things Interesting

I smoked my first marijuana cigarette during the Christmas/New Years holidays of 1966-1967. That's going on forty two years. Many people I know have smoked marijuana regularly during that whole time.

They turned out to be no different than anybody else. They are no more likely to have committed crimes or be guilty of moral turpitude. They are no less likely to be religiously active or successful financially. They are no more or less likely to have used or abused other drugs, including alcohol. I believe they are less likely to have used tobacco habitually.

It is far past the time for us to have a serious discussion about the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana.
