er.....it seems to me that the pro-dope lobby arguing in the past 10 pages of this BAJR thread are asking to be allowed to do what they want, when they want in their own time. Surely therefore the fate of cannabis users should be of 'no concern to us all' if they really want to be left alone to do their thing.....
To provide balance to the discussion this needs to be said......As far as I can make-out this whole thread is about a lifestyle decision dressed up a discussion about OHS and civil liberties. At the end of the day we are all grown-ups and part of that must mean taking responsibility for ones actions. The archaeological community as a whole can't seriously be asked to act as surrogate 'mums and dads' to toked up trustafarians. There are a whole load of archaeologists out here struggling to find enough cash to put food on the table and afford somewhere to live who dont have the 'luxury' of spare cash to spend on narcotics.
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
