pot smokers please justifiy your existence:?

why do POT smokers have such a hard time justifying their existence ? And make the comparison to 'drinking' alcohol as being lesser of the two evils. How does comparing smoking a joint and drinking in excess make the act any better ? (both are harmful) Only one is decriminalized, the other, many wish it were.

any thoughts out there ?

Update:

... when hiring laborers..... i get a hoot.... when someone comes to work high..... and thinks you don't know ! (not as though the smell wasn't a give a way) But the lathergy..... the unproductiveness...

    Perhaps they believe you have no authority to demand any justification and any attempt to directly answer would only expand your delusional sense of self-importance.

    As a prosecuting attorney once told a judge on my behalf that instead of the arresting officer's accusations of "possession with intent to deliver", it seemed to him that I was just wanted some "good weed" for myself.

    How did he know it was good weed? The "evidence" wasn't in court.

    My attorney said, "that $2,000 (cash) is for me and that $2,000 (cash) is for 'them'".

    No receipt from either?

    I take it you would rather keep it illegal and keep that kind of corruption going.

    Justify that!!!

    Edit: Forty plus years of smoking pot, I learned that generally speaking a person who is "lethargic" and "non-productive" is that way while straight, too. The fact you have lethargic and nonproductive help is more indicative of your failure to judge potential laborers accurately and not due to the pot.

    I can guarantee that some of your most diligent and productive workers also enjoy pot based on my knowledge of hundreds of known smokers, all professional, highly educated, successful and motivated people.

    I haven't met one person who has a good reason for smoking weed. There is never a good reason for smoking, drinking or doing drugs. I smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol because I enjoy those things very much. I hate pot. But there is no way to justify it.
