Should I not bike in my free time, because I might hit a pothole, endo, and break my arm? That would march "[my] sorry butt" into "[your] emergency room" pretty darn quick.

The answer is: that's absurd. Every single thing humans do can result in injury. (Even sitting in a chair injures you!) Cycling probably sends more people to the emergency room than smoking pot does, in fact.

(I don't use marijuana BTW, but I do support its legalization. Sounds like a legitimate recreational activity. I personally prefer coffee.)
