someone watches too may government funded commercials :p

War on drugs is profitable as hell for law enforcement. So much of our criminal justice system is tied up with drug-related offenses. The government would do well to hype up how bad marijuana is, because then they can maintain public outcry against it, which only continues to justify the war on drugs.

LOL I am sure you champions of pot have done tons of studies, and obviously smoked some...but have you ever met a true pothead? They live for the next time they smoke pot (and normally CS as well). I am not disputing that it should be legalized, but it is by NO means as harmless as you make it out to be. Similar to alchohol, many people take it too far and yes they often don't remember things.

<-------known enough potheads to have written a paper on the stuff.

Meh.

"But my brother smoked a lot of pot and he's an idiot, so therefore smoking pot makes you an idiot!"

Wow, where do these people come from?

Some of us came from the place some of you are headed. Only the ones that are headed there don't know it yet. Some of the ones who are perceptive will figure out where they are going before they get there and have the common sense to stop and turn around.

Correlation does not imply causation. There will always be abusers of substances but that should not ruin it for the people who wish to indulge once in a while. Its like saying we should ban booze because some people drink all the time. My body, my choice.

Any time we get one of these pot threads, can it just be moved to P&N? It seems fitting, judging from the comments in just about every pot thread in AT history.

I'm a resident Creationist here, but I don't think marijuana is worse than alcohol. It is my opinion that alcohol is actually more physically harmful than marijuana.

That reality where not being able to remember where you left the bong 5 minutes ago is so much worse than forgetting your entire life and family forever? What reality is that?

War on drugs is profitable as hell for law enforcement. So much of our criminal justice system is tied up with drug-related offenses. The government would do well to hype up how bad marijuana is, because then they can maintain public outcry against it, which only continues to justify the war on drugs.

I don't really see how it is profitable, it consumes resources that could be better utilized elsewhere, costs us tax payers billions a year, and creates criminals where there are none.

Not every drug in the same, thus should not be treated as such.

I'm a creationist, I don't believe that Marijuana is more harmful than alcohol... I've never smoked it and never will, even if it becomes legal. For the same reason why I'll never drink to get drunk.

That isn't your opinion, that is fact. Marijuana really isn't that harmful, if at all, to the body.
