Tough thread to reply to due to the dubious nature of Federal vs State laws ..
In Mich if you have a medical card you can grow up to 12 plants and possess 2-1/2 OZ of "useable" marijuana.
I agree with catfishman and Taco Loco Joe ...
I personally lost interest in the mid 90's partially due to drug testing at work and partially just getting bored with it.
The wife and many friends still enjoy it.
Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug ... so check out the following ...
The Federal Governments definition of a schedule 1 drug:
"The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse. The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States."
If marijuana falls in this category they why don't cigarettes and alcohol make the list?
The short answer is Richard Nixon didn't like Hippies or Black people (people he saw as troublemakers) and had the schedule created to curb the drug use he saw as the problem.

I stopped smoking pot in the mid 90's when my daughter was very young. Had to be a responsible parent you know?! She's 26 now, and a collage graduate, she knows it's no big deal, but chooses not to smoke. However, she does drink. That's fine with me, as long as she can keep it under control. I have told her, of the two, I'd rather she use pot, because with alcohol, you lose control, Something I never did smoking. The thing with on the job drug testing, is in the past, the tests only concluded you use, not the concentration in your system. Allegedly, this has changed. With legalization, this will have to change, but I still don't feel like being a guinea pig! But right now, my employer doesn't have drug testing policy, sooooo.
