What I was pointing out is, Responsible today, reckless tomorrow. Its just that easy at times with drugs. But now its clear since you can be responsible you have anecdotal evidence to back up your air tight defense.

It's usually the other way around. It's usually reckless today (read: young and stupid), responsible tomorrow (read: older and wiser). Yeah, sure, I know a few high school people that can drink responsibly, but those are rare. But I know a fair share of adults that can drink with no problem (cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, friends, coworkers, etc, etc, etc).

I'd even go so far as to say that most people don't start out drinking responsibly. But as they get older, they become much more responsible. I can honestly say that I'm one of the few people I know that didn't drink through high school, yet I still got hammered on the weekends after I turned 21. I got wasted off my ass, but I was still smart enough to not go driving anywhere or be on 2nd story balconies. And as I got older, and had more responsibilities, I became a more responsible drinker.

I dare say that there are far more responsible drinkers (and pot smokers) then there are irresponsible ones. But you never hear about the responsible ones because they aren't getting in trouble. Of the top 10 causes of death in the US, motor vehicle accidents comes in as part of number 5 (accidental deaths) and only 37% of those are "alcohol related" (15,829 according to http://www.alcoholalert.com/drunk-driving-statistics.html).

This isn't about "anecdotal evidence". It never was. It's about your claims that drinking and smoking pot cannot be done responsibly. If it couldn't be done responsibly, then I would think that every person that ever takes a drink of alcohol or smokes a joint would just fall down dead.
