Weed and all it's brands may be good in medicinal use, but addictions occur, and it is still wracked with symptoms, including hallucinations and residue in the lungs. Okay, maybe not as much gunk as tobacco... I would recommend a LESS VOLATILE SOLUTION to any ailments that it can cure. Furthermore, dealers are getting smarter and smarter, so controlling it will prove more and more difficult.

Fornicate it! Let's go Green! Were you aware that our Declaration of Independence, the original transcript, was written on hemp paper? Hemp is a very useful and versatail, and medicinal product and grows naturally like a tree, . They need to legalize it and tax it and control it and put the dealers out of business, or make em legal anyway.

"I can't find data on something therefore posit false negative."
When you kick off your vlog with a fallacy not even a grade school scientist would perpetrate then fail to take your shirt off at the end, You've earned your "dislike." Besides cannabinoids aren't toxic, so why study that? What will kill you is the fucking cancer you get from SMOKING weed thinking you're doing something harmless. There's more tar inhaled from an unfiltered joint than in a pack of light cigs. PS MOAR CLEVAGE.
@XMrCXify I assume you're a 16 year old pothead so I'll help you out. Resin and tar are one and the same. You get resin from cooking many different organic materials and I mean organic as in has carbon not as in Kashi cereal. When you cook tobacco you get a resin (tar) and that has carcinogens. So why would you think that inhaling smoke from a different green leafy plant will be magically safe? They both have carbon buddy and burning carbon is not your friend. This is scientifically "proven." ;]
@Gillijos Actually no i am not 16 years old. I also do have a firm grasp on this topic.
You don't seem to understand the significant difference between cannabis and tobacco. These two plants are completely different chemically and on the molecular level.
When you inhale cannabis the ONLY harm done is from the inhalation of heated plant matter. This may cause inflammation or mild bronchitis WITH regular use!
The simple fact here is that tobacco is significantly more dangerous than cannabis.
@Gillijos Another thing, if using cannabis causes cancer then how come the cannabanoids in cannabis have been scientifically proven to fight off cancerous cells?
It has been linked with studies to fight breast cancer cells. They have even done studies with people with Alzheimer's disease to help increase their memory function!
@XMrCXify I never said cannabis causes cancer. Inhaling the smoke does. Cannabinoids shrink tumors in mice. That's all so far. In some cases it increases immune response and in others it inhibits cancer gene regulators. Again all this crap is either in vitro or in vivo in mice. You must be smoking this stuff because there's nothing out there that says it increases memory in anyone. Plenty that says it decreases it. I can personally testify to that. Stay in school bud.
@Gillijos You obviously have not done enough research or have not done proper research. I have seen documented scientific studies provided by reliable sources that explained how while cannabis may cause short term memory DAMAGE in young persons it may have an opposite effect on people with Alzheimer's disease.
I found this credible.
And you say there is plenty that says it decreases memory function?
What studies are you referring to? The irrational studies of our federal government/DEA/FDA
@Gillijos You must not have done proper research. You do realize they have done studies on humans. Not just animals.
This is obvious considering that is how scientist were able to determine that cannabis in many cases may have an opposite effect on memory function in persons with a memory disease such as Alzheimer's.
You also realize your brain and mine alike were crafted with cannabanoid receptors that are directly linked to the use and reaction of cannabis.
@Gillijos Oh and you say "plenty that says it decreases it."
And may I ask what this study or research originated from?
Was it government funded? Was it done by government funded organizations?
Or is it just the same old irrational claims of the DEA, FDA, & Federal Government?
Because see all this has gone up in smoke when faced with the blatant statistics and facts expressing the significance of cannabis's medical use, the faults in our current drug policy, and (CONT)
@Gillijos The simple fact that trying to abolish and prohibit something that is so nationally accepted and popular is insanity and the thought that it is still possible to achieve the DEA's goal by continuing the failed policy is simply irrational and anyone who believes this has been brain washed and have no way of thinking for themselves.
CANNABIS DOES NOT HARM, RUIN LIVES, OR KILL!
THE LAWS PROHIBITING IT CREATE A CRIMINAL ATMOSPHERE AND DO ALLLL OF THESE THINGS!!!
@XMrCXify Okay, please stop repeating yourself. I think you should know that I do support legalization and am voting yes on Prop 19 here in CA later today. However, marijuana is clearly harmful and (as we seem to agree) will do serious damage to the larynx, lungs, etc. if delivered by smoking. This bears repeating: SMOKING it can cause cancer but it has nothing to do with the THC. Other less serious problems can crop up with prolonged smoking as well; i.e. asthma, but you seem to know that.
@XMrCXify Memory/cognition/reflexes can be adversely affected in anyone with a functioning nervous system. And the effects will last a long time depending on frequency of use. Regardless of whether we have receptors for a huge class of organic compounds in the brain THC is a neuro-toxin. You wouldn't get those side effects if it weren't. That's a poor argument and anyone making it really must not have a background in organic chemistry.
@XMrCXify I don't have nearly the time to refer you to all my sources here. I would just recommend ONE book that compiles a lot of information and I believe it's free on google. Buzzed by Cynthia Kuhn, Scott Swartzwelder and Wilkie Wilson of Duke University Medical Center
@Da0YiN Absolutely! The chemical cocktail in tobacco from the big tobacco companies is unbelievable, with many many carcinogens. Some of the chemicals in tobacco are even radioactive according to what I've read. Whereas cannabis smoke is actually anticarcinogenic. Still there are probably far safer ways of consuming it than smoking...
What is wrong with communism? Don't condemn all of communist theory and philosophy just because of a few idiots who use the name "communist" (like North Korea) but who do NOTHING for workers or the poor unemployed.
i don't know 'why you people when talk about marijuana would related it to tobacco or alcohol .they are dangerous too .but marijuana is simply bad as u said and won't give u any benefits .
@vivakurdistan1 marijuana has more benefits then ANY drug. insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, depressions, neuralgias, rheumatism, gastrointestinal dysfunctions, ulcer, cholera, cancer, epilepsy, bronchitis, asthma (because of the property of bronchodilator), and gonorrhea, epilepsy convulsions, multiple sclerosis and spasms.
no one has died from marijuana, EVER. half a million people die every year in the U.S. from tobacco and 100,000 ever year from alcohol. marijuana doesnt cause cancer either
@greatgodlessness alright. so i'm gonna assume you are a socialist. I am also going to assume from this that you are reading this from your room in your mom's basement. All socialists ever want to do is let the government take care of them by "sharing the wealth" which means taking money away from the hard workers and then giving it to lazy fucks like you who just make excuses for yourselves not to work. Do not reply. I won.
@HeadGinger. both capitalism and socialism have their disadvantages. the video just explained one disadvantage of capitalism, as you failed to see. fyi, i earn an honest living working full time and live in a modest house with my partner. i despise bludgers who receive payments from the government using our tax dollars. don't make assumptions, you just look stupid.
@greatgodlessness i bet you feel really accomplished... hehe. if you despise people who get money from the govt from our tax dollars, then why would you vote for the socialist man we have as president now? He places heavier taxes on ones who work and gives the money back to the lazy unemployed people to "share the wealth" when they didn't earn or work for anything. Eventually, the ones who do work will just stop working because there's no point of having money stolen from them.
@HeadGinger . at least now you're trying to make a point. good for you! but may i point out that i didn't vote for your president. you might be shocked to find i'm Australian, and didn't have the honour of voting in your election. you just keep assuming......if it makes you feel accomplished.
Marijuana is illegal because it encourages people to think. If marijuana is legalized you should be scared. That will only happen when the government no longer cares what the people think.
Times have changed and the reasons for it being illegal have too. Marijuana and other illegal drugs have a way of altering thought patterns which causes people to sometimes question what is happening to them. The government and big corporations usually do lots of rotten things especially to working poor people. The government wants obedient workers paying taxes and dying before they reach retirement age. Alcohol and cigarettes will likely kill you before you can retire. They know this.
to gain signatures for the immediate re-legalization of marijuana as it pertains to our constitutional rights. Come see me and sign "The People's Petition" as I visit a city near you.
THE fact is that cannabis should be legal, they should regulate marijuana(or the leaves) and treat it like alcohol and caffeine(other psychoactive drugs),Hemp(the roots and seeds) can be harvested to be used for food, fuel, or some of the other 25000 products that can be made from the amazing plant. THE ONLY REASON ITS ILLEGAL IS BECAUSE THIS ONE PLANT COULD COMPETE WITH EVERY INDUSTRY AND MAKE MORE MONEY THAN ALL COMBINED AND IT COULD BE GROWN IN YOUR BACKYARD..do they show facts, no
weed ctually has more benifits than side effects/"bad things" i saw some shit on the news about old people smokeing but i couldnt stay up long enough to see why
You can watch all situation in Grass movie process of illegalization Maryhuana. If you wanna now all about that process in USA. I think ou watched that film pritty lady, but every body who want to learn more just watch Grass. Peace for yaa and thank you for your video its open eyes of people who watch this. Im not from Usa so my language can be bad sorry.
not to mention it's a VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW TO LEGALIZE CANNABIS... thats why it isnt fully legalized ANYWHERE. not even amsterdam.. they are cracking down on amsterdam actually.
finally somebody finally gets the history ,instead of just talking shit! ! it was actually manditory to grow in some states if you wanted to live there you had to be a grower,even the army was campaigning for us to grow cannabis for rope and other army supplies before hanslinger came in to office, he had his own problems!
Hey let's be real. Why are all of the potheads ive known over the years 99% unaccountable for so much of their mood swings and actions ? There's no one more passionate than a regular pot smoker about the issue of making pot legal. And yet that person can't even remember 1/10th of the promises they broke or things they forgot cause they constantly need to escape reality.
Now you're talking!! CHeck out the Project Censored website and its 25 most censored stories of 2008. The Govt. broke all records with marijuana arrests last year. Also, did you know that the USA has more people locked up than any other country? Not only percentage wise, but total amount of people. IN fact, if you combine CHina, India, and Russia, you get 2.3 Billion people. THE USA has 300 mil, yet we have more locked up than all of those 3 countries combined!! Half are non-violent drug arrests
Way to go overboard with the comparison. USA could follow China's example and start killing the prisoners for whatever reason.
If all else fails you can always follow their examples of no publicity at all about the administration and start giving wrong statistics for the world. It always works as you can tell.
USA has a lot of prisoners because it has strong law enforcement. Maybe you should come down to Brazil to know what permissive drug policy looks like.
Well they are never gonna profit much off it because it isnt physically addictive, but it can be mentally addictive in the same way that anything else could be. Also since everyone can grow it in there backyards they aint gonna be making these big tax bucks that people say they will be. We can always dream though.
growers permits and large fines for not acquiring one would be a way to control that, on top of the fact that if they pull taxes for over the counter sales like tobacco and drive the cost per weight way down and less people would grow it, when they can get it cheap enough they won't bother.
it seems to me like it wouldn't be legalized because the new generation (d.a.r.e. and above the influence) have scared the population into never trying marijuana and assuming it's highly addictive and you become a very shady and unintelligent person after smoking it.
don't get me wrong though, i'm all for legalization
I disagree respectively, thought the dare programs and above the influence claim they do a grand job of pushing kids away from drugs it still doesnt hide then fact that kids are still doing it no matter what propaganda is thrown their way. Generation Z is a growing smoking marijuana culture that is only going to increase in the years to come and will hopefuilly see marijuana legalized in the next ten years.
Virtually every pot smoker I encounter can't handle daily realities. In the end it does'nt matter to them if they made a promise cause they light up again and stick with those who also are dependent on Pot to self medicate.
Tax it heavily and regulate the hell out of it (like Tobacco). Impose stiff fines for minors caught with it or drivers caught while driving stoned (same as with alcohol). But make it Legal.
Lookit, it's a damn hypocrisy that a plant, a plant that grows in nature is banned and demonized while Tobacco and Alcohol are readily available.
You CANNOT have alcohol and weed legal at the same time!!! As a former pothead and alcoholic I know all to well the dangers of these two combined ... well just look at the tragic deaths that occurred lately in that car accident.
if you cannot control your intake of stimulants it is not up to the government to do it for you... gain some flippin control, if you can't have a beer without having 23 of them, you shouldn't drink so stop.
if you can't smoke weed without getting so stoned you can't function don't smoke.
and if you can't control yourself don't make excuses, i'm not aiming this at you, but rather towards the type of people as you were speaking about in that car accident.
The problem is we have to have laws to protect the elements that need protection...Y'know, the one in 50 million that reacts badly, and goes on a killing spree after having a rush!...In the animal world, animals too slow or stupid die out....We protect ours! We live by laws that allow for them!
actually if you do your research you'll find that lung cancer has never been linked to the use of MJ, and there are some scientific studies to the theory as to why but i'll leave that for you to discover for yourself.
I used to smoke, until i went into the Corp! If I smoke now I just get all parinoid but I still support it! I would choose it over cigg's anyday as that was the hardest habit ive ever had to kick..
that is not from marijuana useage. if she was a hippie maybe she did too much acid back in the day. not trying to be insensitive or anything but problems that serious dont result from long term marijuana use.
Your best source of information of drugs is a group called ASREC (Addiction Science Research and Education Center). They even have a list of 300 Drug Facts to Share With Others. Interesting website.
Very informative and enlightening video, Lori. Just goes to show big business highly influences everything including our political and legal systems. In light of this, what hope is there really for environmental/healthcare/fiscal reform?
If the "Hippies" want to make a change, maybe they should develop a process/commodity that outstrips the performance of any major by-product of Crude Oil. Then you'll see a turnaround in the attitude of the "moral" leaders of the west.
If you're going to talk about how how it eats your brain "cells", you might want to work on your credibility by spelling correctly. "Trees" , "Wicca", "hippie" "their"
actually nobody has gotten lung cancer from marijuana smoke alone. why would they give something that causes cancer to cancer patients? but heavy smokers probably couldnt run a mile to save there lives lol. ok proof weeed isnt that bad physically, watch NBA games, those guys are crazy athletes and almost all of them smoke weed. no joke.
actually it has since over 5 million people die from tobacco related deaths. since people smoke weed it gets thrown in with other things smokeable most commonly ciggarettes. but there are people that have only smoked tobacco products and gotten cancer. they havent found anybody that has only smoked weed and cancer.
I'm open for education and teachings on narcotic effect and brain degeneration.
Not debate, after three thousand fans on narcotics I'm an expert on rehab, believe it or not I'd made it my quest to save as many confuse and curious viewers GOOD LUCK, and remember this people sounds like the mobsters in the twenties promoting alcohol, revenues are great but social and addiction are a concern for the general population, no drug has any possitive influence in our society,read the china opium trade
i think we can agree on this, theres a HUGE difference between opium and weed. opium is physically addicting and marijuana has a very light psychological addiction at the worst. you really cannot compare marijuana prohibition to the chinese opium trade.
heres the thing peaceluvandletsblow the only way for you to get the stamp is to prove that u had some weed and soon as u produced it BLAM they hit u with a case cuz ur weed is untaxed some BS no?
I tought you were smart but you're just one of the bunch, promoting mental degradation is not logical or smart, not enough proof well come to my house and I' will get you out of ignorance, I've been dealing with narcotic abusers and you are the voice of a drug abuser society, we have two destructive drugs out there and you are promoting a third, I hope you remember your words in twenty years it will be funny to see you sorry for your stupid point of view, want to destroy our kids bad woman.
how is weed destructive? seriously nobody has died as a direct result from its use. the only reason people think its bad is because of propaganda, and the fact is that most people are in rehab for weed because theyd def rather be there then in jail. its not addictive nor deadly and has an abundance of medical uses.
i can understand not legalizing heroine or crack but weed would not haave a negative effect on society.
Will estimate your age between sixteen to twenty four, gamer, not a straight A student, TV junky, fast food junky, sensational magazine reader, AM I wrong?
The resident was seeking for recognition and some how she had gain your attention part of the multi media propaganda in case you haven't notice she went from a freedom fighter to comercialization of goods and that includes marijuana, if marijuana becomes legal there are no benefits for society have u seen any with tobbaco or alcohol? HU!
not a tv junky nor magazine reader. i had known the real reasons marijuana became illegal before i watched this. um the social benefits for tbco and alc are way less people in jail and money for the government. and obviously weed had medical purposes. that would be a huge benefit. people could grow it helping jobs. and honestly who are we to tell what people can and cant put in there bodies? its not illegal to huff whipped cream but that can kill you pretty quick.
Well said, and a big load of truth at the ending. One of the reasons i think Marijuana is still illegal is because the government cannot make a profit from it because it can be grown by just about anyone. Not to mention the fact that vote whoring politicians will always try to keep it illegal for the uneducated parents.
People tend to look at this whole issue the wrong way. Prohibition doesn't literally prevent anyone from using a substance it only ensures that the quality of the substance is substantially lowered. When drugs are made illegal, all that's essentially done is giving the profits of the trade to the blackmarket and there there's no incentive to have quality control on your products.
In 20 mins I can have as much weed as I want. And I live on an island in the middle of the Atlantic.
I don't think it should be illegal, but it isn't completely harmless. Have you seen someone who's been smoking weed every day for 20+ years? Not very bright...
I agree with a lot of what you have said, and although there are no marijuana related deaths YET, that doesn't mean that marijuana should be legalized. Look into the effects that marijuana has on the body. I do agree, however, that alcohol and cigarettes (tobacco in general doesn't kill people, the nicotine and all of the additive chemicals do) need to become illegal as well. Just my two cents.
you said "no mj deaths, YET"? Then you say it should stay illegal? For what? not killing anybody like cigarettes and booze do every day? Its not toxic or strongly addictive and there are tons of excellent books, films, articles and websites that can better inform and explain what cannabis is in reality, not the fantasy cartoon the establishment and its trusting followers like yourself (hopefully not forever) have instilled in people for several decades now. Freedom requires the truth be set free
weed ! ok 20 years or more ago weed was some morrocan or leaves but todays weed is skunk and skunk is in a league of its own way high above the old weed of yesterday.
you only have to listien to deathrow records to see the skunk gangster connection. I smoked a ton of weed in the 80s and 90s an then i smoked a ton of skunk an skunk makes you insane end of story
Annual Causes of Death in the United States Tobacco 435,000 Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity 365,000 Alcohol 85,000 Microbial Agents 75,000 Toxic Agents 55,000 Motor Vehicle Crashes 26,347 Adverse Reactions to Prescription Drugs 32,000 Suicide 30,622 Incidents Involving Firearms 29,000 Homicide 20,308 Sexual Behaviors 20,000 All Illicit Drug Use, Direct and Indirect 17,000 Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Such As Aspirin 7,600 Marijuana 0 DAMN WEED IS SOO BAD FOR MY BRAIN
great list you posted and I would suggest we should change the "Marijuana 0" to a negative number - meaning if the prohibition of weed, was lifted and the gangs, bikers and cartels crumbled from the loss of their biggest pipeline of cash, then thousands of people would NOT be killed in the War on Some Drugs, and legalized marijuana would be SAVING LIVES, not taking them like everything else on the list.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And what about those who use mairjuana as the gateway drug that it is and begin to use other drugs - cocaine, heroine, etc - because they used it first? I used to have a relationship with this guy who was addicted to marijuana, but also used it when he did crack, too. Explain that for me, please, Mr. KNow-It-All.
this morning I was contemplating to myself how legalization seems a less urgent process but will likely happen by the time the newest generation is my age (30 somethings). The truth seems to be rather obvious, as opposed to the times of the "marihuana" era, but everyone has to realize that it's currently not legal ANYWHERE in the civilized world (Canada and Holland being merely more "tolerant" examples.)
There are some folks who believe Cannabis could be a panacea or many kinds of modern illnesses. I would be scared "sh*tless if i was a big drug company or investor for big money in big pharma. It is such a useful plant that it could change the lumber and pulp industry, and they would not have to keep desimating the forests. Plus it's good for soil and agriculture. Plus it is a very excellent high protein grain with edible oil. It's the easy non competitive way to a healthy lifestyle.
Cannabis should be legalized and taxed the hell out of like cigarettes and alcohol. India has already legalized Cannabis and the government regulates it, and India is rapidly becoming one of the most industialized nations in the world, why can't we do it here? Because we have people who're very ignorant in power claiming that you can get Cancer from Cannabis, that's a loud of BULLSHIT
We should also legalize conterfeiting, heck legalize everything. No need for laws or anyone to enforce them. I pretty much solved all of our problems, carry on!
Thanks Lori - Glad you did some research. My brother wrote his senior thesis on this exact topic, and had a business plan. However, because of the government's stance on marijuana, he was told to do a different subject. I would strongly encourage a legalization of marijuana, if and when we can detect someone under the influence of it (DUIs, etc.). Thanks again, great topic.
I would never have been introduce to any drug harder had I not been searching for weed. Sooo... weed is agateway drug! And yes we should legalize it. Along with every other drug we want to use morphine legalize it! Oxicodone legalize it! Heroin legalize it!
YOU WANNA GET HIGH, GET HIGH... YOU GET CAUGHT YOU HAVE TO PAY!
THESE PROPONENTS JUST WANT A CHEAPER WAY TO GET HIGH, THE COST IS UNIMAGINABLE.
I smoke Marijuana for medical purposes, I'm not sure why people call it a drug? Its a Herb and It is now used as medicine so why not just legalize it?
No... just no. Weed kills your brain and alcohol IS a drug too. Marijuana is a gateway drug too making it for these sick people to want to get worse drugs.
Marijuana is, by far, the worlds most commonly used illicit drug—and far more dangerous than most users realize. Marijuana limits the capacity to absorb and retain information. Researchers did an experiment and found that found that users fall short on memory as well as math and verbal skills.
Your so fucking stupid, Don't believe in what your mama told you little boy. Marijuana is not a gateway drug and its not addictive, and its less dangerous than alcohol and squares. 1 joint is the equivalent of 3 squares, If you only smoke one joint a week and a Squares smoker smokes a pack a day... Well do the math. One more thing, Weed does not kill your brain actually it helps stimulate other brain cells.
Maybe you should go back to school. Legalizing it could help the economy A LOT.
my god ur soo dumb u there are so few deaths on weed cuz weed is iligal and therefor there arent many people using it

@Gillijos Your wrong. The black tar-ish looking stuff that results from using cannabis is not the same as tar coming from tobacco.
This is called Resin. This gooey resin does NOT contain cancer causing agents.
It is also less harmful than the TAR that results from tobacco.
This has been scientifically proven. Simply Google medical cannabis studies.
Make sure to pick a legit website. The evidence and proof is there! :]

@Gillijos The simple fact that trying to abolish and prohibit something that is so nationally accepted and popular is insanity and the thought that it is still possible to achieve the DEA's goal by continuing the failed policy is simply irrational and anyone who believes this has been brain washed and have no way of thinking for themselves.
CANNABIS DOES NOT HARM, RUIN LIVES, OR KILL!
THE LAWS PROHIBITING IT CREATE A CRIMINAL ATMOSPHERE AND DO ALLLL OF THESE THINGS!!!
XMrCXify 1 year ago
@XMrCXify Okay, please stop repeating yourself. I think you should know that I do support legalization and am voting yes on Prop 19 here in CA later today. However, marijuana is clearly harmful and (as we seem to agree) will do serious damage to the larynx, lungs, etc. if delivered by smoking. This bears repeating: SMOKING it can cause cancer but it has nothing to do with the THC. Other less serious problems can crop up with prolonged smoking as well; i.e. asthma, but you seem to know that.
Gillijos 1 year ago
@XMrCXify Memory/cognition/reflexes can be adversely affected in anyone with a functioning nervous system. And the effects will last a long time depending on frequency of use. Regardless of whether we have receptors for a huge class of organic compounds in the brain THC is a neuro-toxin. You wouldn't get those side effects if it weren't. That's a poor argument and anyone making it really must not have a background in organic chemistry.

@Da0YiN Absolutely! The chemical cocktail in tobacco from the big tobacco companies is unbelievable, with many many carcinogens. Some of the chemicals in tobacco are even radioactive according to what I've read. Whereas cannabis smoke is actually anticarcinogenic. Still there are probably far safer ways of consuming it than smoking...

Times have changed and the reasons for it being illegal have too. Marijuana and other illegal drugs have a way of altering thought patterns which causes people to sometimes question what is happening to them. The government and big corporations usually do lots of rotten things especially to working poor people. The government wants obedient workers paying taxes and dying before they reach retirement age. Alcohol and cigarettes will likely kill you before you can retire. They know this.

Way to go overboard with the comparison. USA could follow China's example and start killing the prisoners for whatever reason.
If all else fails you can always follow their examples of no publicity at all about the administration and start giving wrong statistics for the world. It always works as you can tell.
USA has a lot of prisoners because it has strong law enforcement. Maybe you should come down to Brazil to know what permissive drug policy looks like.

People tend to look at this whole issue the wrong way. Prohibition doesn't literally prevent anyone from using a substance it only ensures that the quality of the substance is substantially lowered. When drugs are made illegal, all that's essentially done is giving the profits of the trade to the blackmarket and there there's no incentive to have quality control on your products.

I agree with a lot of what you have said, and although there are no marijuana related deaths YET, that doesn't mean that marijuana should be legalized. Look into the effects that marijuana has on the body. I do agree, however, that alcohol and cigarettes (tobacco in general doesn't kill people, the nicotine and all of the additive chemicals do) need to become illegal as well. Just my two cents.

There are some folks who believe Cannabis could be a panacea or many kinds of modern illnesses. I would be scared "sh*tless if i was a big drug company or investor for big money in big pharma. It is such a useful plant that it could change the lumber and pulp industry, and they would not have to keep desimating the forests. Plus it's good for soil and agriculture. Plus it is a very excellent high protein grain with edible oil. It's the easy non competitive way to a healthy lifestyle.

I smoke Marijuana for medical purposes, I'm not sure why people call it a drug? Its a Herb and It is now used as medicine so why not just legalize it?

No... just no. Weed kills your brain and alcohol IS a drug too. Marijuana is a gateway drug too making it for these sick people to want to get worse drugs.
Marijuana is, by far, the worlds most commonly used illicit drug—and far more dangerous than most users realize. Marijuana limits the capacity to absorb and retain information. Researchers did an experiment and found that found that users fall short on memory as well as math and verbal skills.
DON'T LEGALIZE IT!

Your so fucking stupid, Don't believe in what your mama told you little boy. Marijuana is not a gateway drug and its not addictive, and its less dangerous than alcohol and squares. 1 joint is the equivalent of 3 squares, If you only smoke one joint a week and a Squares smoker smokes a pack a day... Well do the math. One more thing, Weed does not kill your brain actually it helps stimulate other brain cells.
Maybe you should go back to school. Legalizing it could help the economy A LOT.
