I was quite shocked by that too although looking at the quote in its original context...

...it would seem Roxanne is actually comparing pills and cocaine to canabis use rather than videogame playing.

Why does it have to be either or? S'all good ;-)

Exactly, I love video games and I support decriminalization/legalization. Mmmm, like chocolate and peanut butter.

Well, at least with video games you don't burn yourself on a pipe.....wait....nevermind, there's the XBOX power supply.

I wonder if there will be a news story about a dealer who gets caught and claims that the drugs are to help his kids kick their gaming habit.

yeah!!! i really like video games so much fun it can be relax if you don't time....
