Marijuana use among college students has been trending upward for years, but in states that have legalized recreational marijuana, use has jumped even higher. After legalization, however, students showed a greater drop in binge drinking than their peers in states where marijuana is not legal.

To be blunt, you have no space to dictate what is or is not acceptable for others. And again you are displaying your ignorance of the working professional profile of daily users. You would be amazed at how much of your leadership use daily. Alcohol has a much stronger chemical addiction and withdraw component versus marijuana so the scope of "functional" user is really not the same at all. With marijuana a tolerant user retains full agency and that retention of agency is what, at least I believe, allows weed users to maintain not only a functional status, but a fully normal and responsible status. Maybe you did not witness much of that growing up, I sure as hell did not until I moved countries and really started my career. But do not project that failures of those you know onto the rest of society.

Now look, you are right that many people abuse weed and let it have a strong negative affect on their lives, and this is taking out the stigma and legality aspect to. It really is not for everyone. But, raise awareness with balance, not with an absolute stance that you take with your "acceptable" statement.
