A truly enlightened society would never make it illegal for someone to own or use a drug, but would make it illegal to engage in activities whilst under that drug's influence that would harm or potentially harm others. So I imagine Starfleet officers can smoke a joint if they want -- but they damn well better be sober when their duty shift begins.
Sure, but weed makes you really dumb after long-term use. And don't tell me that it doesn't.
Wow, tough crowd. Maybe you should open your eyes rather than roll them.
Remember Alcohol, which is cleary less harmful that MJ, is used regularly off duty in Trek (most characters hate synthehol), and if a SF member operated a warp drive while drunk, there would be consequences. Trek has a history with alcohol, Scotty, Klingon Blood Wine, etc. Picard drinking illegal Romulan Ale.
It would be very possible that marijuana would be legal in more enlightened times, but a TV show can't really go there due to ratings, censors, etc. Classic Trek pushed the envelope as it was already back then.
Carl Sagan made bad life choices?

Some might think any appearance on that stage as "making it."![]()

All I know is that sketch gave me the freakin' chills already. I always wondered why he bothered.
As for Sagan and weed: Meh. Anyone who gave us Cosmos can't be all bad!

Illegal drugs are not for enlightened people. They are for people that make bad life choices.
I'd rather focus on his accomplishments.Yes, he did. More than one, but if he did drugs let's focus on that.^ Carl Sagan made bad life choices?

Sure, but weed makes you really dumb after long-term use. And don't tell me that it doesn't.
Sure. But you have the right to harm yourself. What you do not have the right to do is harm others. Read John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, particularly his sections about drinking alcohol.
You get a cough and you get 'the munchies' but you still don't think Seinfeld is funny? -yeah, I can see a lot of people on that in the future…What about some kind of synthijuana?![]()
Indeed it does -but only if that "long-term use" is also excessive!Sure, but weed makes you really dumb after long-term use. And don't tell me that it doesn't.
I know both long-term users that aren't capable of putting together a sentence in normal conversation and long-term users that have long fancy educations and good jobs.

Of course. I wouldn't want to deny anyone's right to smoke whatever he wants. Done it myself a few times. It's just sad when you see someone who has just smoked himself retarded.
Doesn't exist. I repeat; any people you know that smoke that are retarded, were retarded before they started smoking.Indeed it does -but only if that "long-term use" is also excessive!Sure, but weed makes you really dumb after long-term use. And don't tell me that it doesn't.
