Nothing was said of violent crime. There is a pretty high rate of driving while high in this country. That is a major crime, and equally as dangerous as intoxicated driving. Anyway.

Yea just scroll through that lovely document. It certainly find a link. 60% of those arrested in the UK, US, and Australia test positive for MJ. I would call that a link.
So my society is to blame? You mean the society that discourages one to do anything to excess? Or the one that encourages manners? Or the one that respects laws? Or the one that doesn't support crime by purchasing things criminals sell?
I like how you call me "brainwashed" when you only want it legalized so you can "calm your nerves." Whatever that means? I don't oppose medicinal use. I do oppose recreational use. And I want a significant medical study done...in the United States...on long term effects....before I decide to listen to a stoner on how "there are no side effects, and Dave isn't here man."
Are you for legalization of meth, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, and so on? On the grounds of "government interference?" Right? Nice appeal to emotion.
Ps:
You never did answer my question. Do you think it should be legal to smoke your pot anywhere?
