Benefits aside, illegal is illegal. I support the legalization but I also support abiding by the law. Until it is legalized (if ever) it is stupid to risk your career and future for a puff.

I personally don't drink (except for an occasional beer during the holidays which I plan on stopping), don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't eat meat, I do excercise becaue I want to stay in tip top physical condition. My body is my temple and I'm not even a professional athlete. If I was I would never want to put anything inside me that would hinder me on or off the field. That being said consenting adults should be able to do as the please even though some of their choices are head scratchers.

I drink occasionally, don't smoke, don't do drugs and don't exercise much due to ankle/knee issues from old injuries. My body is less like a temple and more like a Buddha statue LOL

I agree. Adults should be allowed to make their own decisions. I just take issue when others are expected to compensate for their bad decisions. But that is another topic.

i will echo duane. just because someone thinks something shouldn't be illegal, doesn't change it. As long as it is illegal, it's illegal whether you agree with the law or not.
