Protracted marijuana use (which many of my students don't consider to be using drugs) often results in what I think of as the shards of a broken mirror--here and there you see flashes of the brilliance that used to be, but the individual can no longer put it together to make a complete image.
It is sad. The New York Times is calling for legalization of marijuana:
Repeal Prohibition, Again. I don't have a strong opinion about it, but I do worry that laws serve not to only to define what behavior can be punished by the state but also to express what society thinks is right and wrong. The views my wife forcefully expresses to our children will certainly not change.
