To this day I am still not sure which one of these has a stronger stigma attached to it...Pot or Jeans.

I almost think you would have a better chance getting a job if you showed up to the interview stoned than if you did wearing jeans.

Hey buddy. I'll have you know I wear jeans to work every day that I'm not wearing shorts.

I'm really glad it is considered normal attire for my line of work. I would absolutely hate having to wear office casual.

Dude, I am on your side!

We get to wear jeans once a week, why people are still so scared of jeans is beyond the reasoning of my small brain!

 
I think there's a difference between addiction and dependence.  Addiction being the physical manifestation - dependence being the mental.  

In medicine there are sleep aids that fall into dependence (the anxiety a person begins to feel when they think they can't get to sleep without it keeps them awake).  I'd put pot in that bucket - a hazard for those with addictive personalities or needs; they will have a harder time not abusing it.  Alcohol is the same way.  Food can be the same, sex - many vices.

I didn't answer the questions because I wouldn't choose an answer to 3 it wouldn't let me submit.  But I think it's fine to have it against NCAA policy, or have an age restriction (like alcohol).  I also think it is a safer alternative to opioids and there have been some good documentary type shows investigating that (I think it was Real Sports last year) and I listened to an NPR story on Fresh Air on it also (that one looked more into the negatives, but I still came out of it thinking it's a better option than opioids)
