420:Is it worth the risk of losing your "high profile" job? The bottom line is that weed in illegal. I have heard the same bone head remarks from crackheads and powder users.

Ever heard of someone getting high off of reefer and robbing a store? Murder? Or beating their spouse? Probably not. Myself,being a "smoker",pay my taxes,works 50 Hrs a week in a high profile job.I see no problem in the consumption of marijiuana. I would say legalize it,but that would give the Gov't something else to throw a hefty tax on. Focus more on your crack/cocaine heads,and other harsh drug users,there is where you will find your habitual criminals. I am sure I will get plenty of remarks from these comments,good and bad.
