As we enjoy more freedom from decriminalization, we also need to step up and exercise self-discipline. Yes, we can smoke pot at our leisure, but we need to do so responsibly.
As with almost everything else in life, it makes sense to use any substance in moderation. There’s no harm in feeling a little high, but don’t let the use of any substance impair our judgement. We want to be in our right mind when we work, drive, play sports or spend quality time with our family and friends.
And when we’re done with a joint, don’t just discard it on the ground in a park or on the sidewalk. Children and pets have gotten really sick from playing with discarded butts. A lady in tears was just describing to the media how her crazily barking pup suffered from anxiety, incontinence and extreme discomfort after sniffing a pot butt.
