Cannabis is safer to use than tomatoes, it cures cancer and so many illness there is not enough space here to list, nobody benefits from cannabis prohibition because it prevents anybody to cure themself.

Cannabis is not a drug, it's one of the few substances that are benefical for human body and soul. People who don't smoke are missing it and if they would do a little research they would become pro legalization.

Look at all the scientific art that keep coming out. IT CURES CANCER FOR LIFESAKE

Fucking politicians man, they only see black and white, good and bad, right or wrong. We are ALL different shades of grey, and making the necessary distinctions between these shades is the difference between an informed and justified decision, and a groundless action based on ignorance.

@frankguitar68

tomatoes?!? thats a bit far now. tomatoes is a vegetable its not unhealthy. if u want to make a point say somthing like chocolate is more addictive then marijuana or ur more likely to die from coffee then u are from weed

@frankguitar68 technically it just slows cancer down and helps the pain, but I agree with your sentiment.

There are many active ingredients in cannabis, and when you burn it you create a thousand more, including many harmful and cancerous chemicals, and it is particularly harmful because one often smokes it unfiltered and it enters the respiratory system. Vaporising/cooking it etc. reduces many of these harms, but it can still be harmful to certain people. I agree cannabis is basically 99% safe, but don't be overzealous saying "It's a plant, it can't be that bad".

@pkeraoe You are the living proof of human stupidity, Cannabis is no drug at all, less harmfull than tomatoes, should we ban tomatoes? The thing is, in order to think properly you need to smoke each and every day

@frankguitar68

you are the type of unintelligent drug user that slows down people accepting that legalising drugs is a good thing. cannabis is not particularly healthy, and if smoked is very VERY harmful to one's respiratory system among other things. be objective, rational and calm when stating your points, instead of typing out random crap when you are high.

If the Government tells us what we can and cant consume and put into our bodies THEN WE ARE NOT FREE!
