POT -- PRO AND CON

Great article ("Parenting Through the Haze"). I'm not a pot smoker or
a drinker, and neither are my two teenage sons, but I agree with the
White House's Bertha Madras: Hallucinating with pot is not the same
thing as having a glass of wine with dinner. The California PTA,
through its Safety First booklet, irresponsibly advises that
teenagers who smoke pot should moderate their use of this
hallucinogenic drug, thereby incorrectly implying that it is possible
for most young people to do so. People who use pot should not have
kids, and people with kids should not use pot, unless they're
satisfied with the prospect of having pot-smoking kids. Yeah, that's
what we need more of, huh? Then we'll have more people to party with.
