    You guys are stereotyping hardcore. There are plenty of people that smoke pot that are millionaires, entrepreneurs, aren't lazy, lead productive lives, incredibly smart, etc.

    Seeing as a very small percentage of the country has most of the money, it's impossible for that % of users to be an accurate and fair judgement @xcapri79

    Alcohol is legal and look at all the a**hole drunks out there who don't know they are. That's the problem with drugs and alcohol most people don't know there in trouble until everything is gone and there life is in the toilet.

    I'm also curious if everyone here that thinks marijuana should remain illegal also believes that alcohol should be illegal. Worse are the ones that drink themselves and are against pot. Cocaine, Heroin, other seriously physically addictive drugs? I agree.

    My dad used to drink and hit his wife and us kids. Never seen anyone smoke a joint and do that.

    To The Mods or whoever does such things, Please close this thread as it is so far of topic it's not funny.

    And for those of you who want to start a thread on the legality of Drugs and Alcohol do so elsewhere.

    It's all about money. More cops get jobs, entire departments exist because of the war on drugs, for profit prisons make more money, big pharma makes more money, and they all lobby against legalization of pot. Do you think it's because they care that people are smoking weed? Nope. People do that anyway. Money.

    Writers and musicians have a long, storied history with alcohol, and that intimacy with the bottle shows through in the memorable lines these artists have dropped over the years. Check out our picks for the top 20 quotes about drinking. Did your favorite make the list?

    1) “Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day." — Charles Bukowski

    2) “I drink to make other people more interesting.” ― Ernest Hemingway

    3) “In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.” ― Benjamin Franklin

    4) “After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, and that is the most horrible thing in the world.” ― Oscar Wilde

    5) “For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

    6) “There comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne.” ― Bette Davis

    7) “To alcohol! The cause of and solution to all of life's problems." ― The Simpsons

    8) “Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.” ― Ogden Nash

    9) “One sip of this will bathe the drooping spirits in delight, beyond the bliss of dreams.” ― John Milton

    10) “Reality is an illusion created by a lack of alcohol.” — N.F. Simpson

    11) “Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver.” — Jack Handey

    12) “When I drink, I think; and when I think, I drink.” — Frantois Rabelais

    13) “Time is never wasted when you’re wasted all the time.” — Catherine Zandonella

    14) "Wine is bottled poetry." — Robert Louis Stevenson

    15) "I think a man ought to get drunk at least twice a year just on principle, so he won't let himself get snotty about it." — Raymond Chandler

    16) "It is most absurdly said, in popular language, of any man, that he is disguised in liquor; for, on the contrary, most men are disguised by sobriety." — Thomas de Quincy

    17) "The harsh, useful things of the world, from pulling teeth to digging potatoes, are best done by men who are as starkly sober as so many convicts in the death house, but the lovely and useless things, the charming and exhilarating things, are best done by men with, as the phrase is, a few sheets in the wind." — H.L. Mencken

    18) "Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." — Dave Barry

    19) "Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully." — Graham Greene

    20) "Wine is sunlight, held together by water." — Galileo
