Yah, that's true enough. The point I tried to make is that it is breaking the law - whether or not it is a useful law. Buddhism does say one shouldn't take intoxicants, and also there's this whole 'right thinking, right acting' thing.
I don't know that I'm against pot persae - makes a person stupid, that much I do know, but if that's his bag, then whatever. I did think it was funny becuase the person on the forum I think was just looking for a way to justify it.
Thing with Buddhism is, there is no one telling you what you 'shouldn't' do. It's up to you. It's your enlightenment. It's pretty cool really.
