like i said, pot still destroys brain cells regardless. ever see someone who has smoked it for years? they get that lazy eye going and they aren't as quick as they used to be. true, alcohol is a drug too, so is coffee, or asprin, but it's not the same. paul didn't tell timothy to "smoke a few dime bags for his upset stomach" did he? The other thing is, that even if it is legalized, a lot of people won't agree with the decision. any time there is a discrepency like that, the witnesses always take that cautious road so as not to offend, which is why you don't see any real witnesses with fish hooks in their face, or purple mohawks. Sure these things were never specifically mentioned in the bible as things we shouldnt do, but they are looked upon as things that rebels do and are linked to a rebellious attitude. Lastly, weed will NOT be legalized in the US any time in the near future, or ever. So witnesses will not be hitting the bong any time soon.
