Okay it's only a matter of time that marijuana will become federally legal , I am personally from california so I am no stranger to the substance , all though I am completely sober besides alcohol I do believe responsible soldiers should have the right to smoke if it becomes federally legal , what do y'all think? Do you think the DoD will allow?

i question the problem with the use of marijuana.
I grew up in the "just say no" times....drugs were bad, people were supposedly outside the elementary play ground trying to get us addicted, and once addicted, we would be stealing from grandma to support our habit. Then, I went to college....and now, 20 years later....
how can a soldier get black out drunk the night before and be able to operate a forklift the next mornign...but, if he smoked weed two days ago...he needs to be kicked out of the military???
I will say this....as soon as my parents come down with cancer, I want pot to be an option....

Addicts do steal from grandma or anyone they can to support their habit...I was married to a meth addict. He stole from anyone or anything he could to get meth. That part is true. An addict will go to any length to get that fix.
If you have soldiers consistently getting black out drunk at any point, not even just duty days, I'd be talking to that soldier. That's an issue. If they're showing up to work still intoxicated and no one takes notice THAT is a bigger issue.

Thats why i differentiate between MJ and other drugs...addiction is addiction, yes, but is MJ addictive? I'm not sure...
As for people getting black out drunk....alcohol is addictive...and so is cigarrettes and coffee, for that matter, but.... MJ??

Marijuana is also an addictive drug. My brother would smoke weed all the time when we were growing up and still does to this day. He was so obsessed with getting that high that he couldn't even keep a steady job. Now he is one of these homeless drug addicts you see on the news out on California. I saw how it affected him and chose not to go down that same road.
