Go figure the one who supports marijuana DOESN'T look like a babbling idiot. :)

John Walters has never smoked weed in his life. He is a useless individual scaring vulnerable people into agreeing with his views. He is so off on so many things it cannot be quantified.

40,000 people die on the roads every year, yet I don't hear this John Waters guy arguing that roads and cars are bad.

[elegantsolution]

Analogies don't actually prove anything.

Im sorry but people go on about weed being bad for you but no one has ever died from smoking it, yet alcohol is legal and 1000 of people die a year from it

If it were legalized it would stop criminal activity in supply and demand. If it might cause psychological problems then get people a psyc test before buying it.

"It more potent today than it was in the 60s"

... Smoke less?

Also, wouldn't legalization help us control the concentration in the plant's quantity of THC?

Yet, it's still impossible to to overdose on it. Even if you could produce a plant that was 90% THC.

The plants today range from 15-30% in THC content and in the 60s they were 15-25% so...

"It's like having a 4 ounce glass of beer versus an 8 ounce glass of Jack Daniel's"

I feel he exaggerated a little... Lying old fart.

@Ebvardh you sir are a very smart man

[pimptastic13]

@Ebvardh Whenever I hear someone make the argument that "THC in weed in the 60s was about 5%, whereas now it's almost 30%", just tells me that we are perfecting the horticulture of this plant. I imagine MOST pot grown back then was outside, whereas now we have entire industries to grow and BETTER pot indoors. Besides...people act like 70% THC-hash didn't exist back in the 60s?! People could've smoked much higher percentage pot if they'd made it to hash...ergo, higher THC ≠ deadlier marijuana.

[Ebvardh]

@pimptastic13 And even if the plant was twenty times more potent tomorrow than it is today, it just means you don't have to smoke as much.

Whenever you smoke, there comes a point where you've peaked and you don't feel like smoking any more. So you either go to sleep o just sit there and enjoy your high. This claim by John Walters and the prohibitionists is meaningless.
