you need to start reading what people post because you're starting to become irritating, the 'client' in your example should be punished for killing the three children whereas you seem to think he's innocent and the weed should be somehow arrested...
the client chose to smoe, chose to drive, and chose the option of risk, it's his fault not the drugs.
I admit I mis said my words. But you can't argue that drugs are known to effect perception, how the mind works. Drugs do have effects on how you make decsions.
drugs may alter the perception and decision maing skills but it's the choice of the person whether or not they start taking/using the drug, if they later jump out of a window thinking they can fly it''s their fault regardless as many people on the same drug don't jump out of windows believing they can fly.
the only reason cannabis is still illegal is because of religion and the concept of witchcraft, if people were willing to live life and carry on rather than stay stuck in the middle ages things would be different.

Marijuana smokers, even very heavy ones, are usually only smoking maybe a joint or two daily. And most people only do it on occasion, like less than once a month.
All the people I've known that smoked pot had tryed to hide it from me at first. Then they told me they used it now and then. Then all they wanted to to do was smoke all the time all day, nothing else. I have never meet a casual pot user. Its all or nothing with them.
Thank goodness we have you to lead that moral crusade.

as far as Michael Phelps goes... who gives a f**k? lol.
Apparently the advertisers who are/were going to pay him millions of dollars care. He is happily selling his image - the image of a clean-cut, hard-working, steroid-free olympian - and in order for him to be successful at selling himself, he needs to keep up the illusion.
If a corporation is selling a product and Michael Phelps endorses that product, they will drop him if he does something stupid that goes public. If he endorsed rolling papers or condoms, they probably wouldn't care. But right about now Phelps is probably very concerned about how he appears because there ain't no money in bong endorsements.

if i were going to buy something because phelps endorsed it i'd probably want it more knowing he smokes weed, at the end of the day weed isn't what made him win at the olympics...

I have a very negitive view when it comes to people using any kind of rec. drugs. When you see your mom wake you up in the middle of the night high all the time, shaking you down for money so she can get her fix, you'd understand.
Another person I was good friends with and I liked more then a friend, all she wanted to do was sit around and smoke pot all day.
Another old friend used to smioke pot all the time, he is pretty much brain dead now. So yeah, pot is harmless. I am judging them, but I've seen what drugs can do to people I care about. I will never change my views.
So forgive me if I'm hard on the morons that want to waste time using drugs.

Something like 40% of Americans have smoked pot (if I remember right, well above the percentage of Dutch that have), so let's not pretend all pot users end brain dead, anymore than all alcohol users end up with delirium tremens. Pot destroys lives? So do tobacco and ethanol. An affluent young American smoking pot? \sarcasm{Wonders will never cease!}
All it takes are a few facts to expose the hypocritical idiocy that is the 'war on drugs' (it's not a real war for Americans, but it is for others). If we're going to discuss harm, let's not forget the price other countries pay in blood for this instance of First World hypocrisy.

What is a "depth charge?"
