I know people who would regularly and I know drunkarD who might on ocassion if it were legal. So, would you?
If you don't mind, those who aren't into the sort of thing need not vote. Response, cool, but if you're against it no matter what then adding a vote to the poll skews the poll.
I was a very heavy smoker when I was six. I smoked every butt I could scavenge from the dust of the rodeo bleachers, occasionally finding a whole pack. I rinsed out beer cans or bottles for the last drop. I let grapes rot so I could get the zingy taste of "new wine".
I clearly remember the day all that changed. I had found a whole pack, and I was sitting on telephone poles lying on the ground behind the bleachers when a man walked by, took a good look at me, and declared my identity. Saying "You're MJ's son, aren't you?????" with a very knowing smirk on his face. I didn't know why I was so ashamed of that until many years later. I only knew my dad had left town and shacked up with some wicked woman, and left my mom to fend for herself with all his kids.
Years later, my older sister told me how she had seen my dad in his shiny blue Mercury cruisin The Strip with hookers hanging on his arm. And an older brother told me how Professor MJ had come out of the science building to smoke a while at the busiest sidewalk on campus in the 100% Mormon, Church-owned college with the cool indifference of a devil-may-care teenager. And how when presented with a chalice as an award for being the "Most Popular" Professor, he had set the awards assembly ablaze by just turning that mug over, and complaining "What??? No Beer???".
I would have gone the way of my Father except for that mirthful man who was mocking both me and my father by seeing my early resemblance to him.
Likewise, if society just hooted at it, instead of banning it, the whole drug culture would probably just fold.
