I dunno, sorry for the tirade but it's just I have smoked a great deal of marijuana in my life where it's time to move on. What I have said is harsh but it is true.
do you have any factual basis for this 90%, or are you just talking out of your bum using hyperbole?

why does contribution to society = whether or not pot should be legalized?

Should we outlaw alcohol because it decreases productivity? How about require everyone to be on sleeping pills to increase rest?

I recognize you're playing devil's advocate here a little, but I don't see why productivity is a coherant argument to be made by those against pot being legal.
