The recreational use of marijuana has been glamorized over the years by such on-screen duos as Cheech & Chong and Harold & Kumar, but is the drug everything that Hollywood makes it out to be? Then again, are we being hypocritical by allowing alcohol consumption but not cannabis usage?

Good point!
Ummm...
So we should just add to the problem and legalize something else that leads to lethargic behavior?

Lethargic Behavior
The example the above poster gave was an exaggerated, extreme, worst-case-scenario. The great majority of those who use marijuana are hard-working, educated, professional people who would rather drop dead than admit they use marijuana because of the stigma attached to it's use. Many use it once per week or less as a much less harmful and much more pleasurable substitute for alcohol .
