I went skiing with my daughter a couple weeks back. Every time we'd take the tram to the top of the mountain the tram reeked of weed. And it wasn't some high school or college kid, it would be some guy in his late 30's or 40's that was a decade or two past growing out of the stoner phase of his life.
My wife works in the legal system and my wife works in the emergency room. There is no bigger lie than private consumption of drugs being a victimless crime. Between the effects to friends and family members, to medical and legal services that have to clean up the mess of these peoples lives I'd venture to say the majority of money spent on social services is directly related to drug abuse.
