the lethal dose of marijuana is either about one-third your body weight, or about 1,500 pounds, consumed all at once

[Kadarin]

Marijuana is illegal because it's "bad", and it's "bad" because it's illegal. Circular reasoning. In physiological and social terms, alcohol is a far, far worse drug.

Okay so alchohol is a worse drug... does that mean it's okay to get high because it is the lesser of two evils? No!

OMGz it's bad to get high! :roll:

Who are you to tell people what they should and shouldn't put in their bodies?

It's public opinion. Everything is marketing.

I just went to jury duty and I was shocked when they don't even say the word "god" when swearing you in as a juror. I think it's "no longer required". That's also because times are changing and society is sinking into a 'cyboranic' state. 300-400 years ago you were burned at the stake for saying there is no god.

Just amazes me how in a relatively short time frame society is shifting. For better or for worse I do not know. I can't predict the future. Remember a time women couldn't even vote? Wasn't that long ago!

..a lot less then that when you consider you's a doper and spends your waking hours chasing the bag.

Its not lethal until you jump into your Nissan Sentra and plow headlong into an oncoming bus.

Stereotype much? Not everyone who smokes pot is a pothead. Marijuana is not physically addictive.

This debate is never-ending ... bottom line is that weed is bad for you, but its stupid for it to be illegal & alcohol to be legal at the same time for numerous reasons.

WRONG. It's Alchohol.

"You cannot find a case of canabis-related death due to overdose in global medical history."

Although you may not find one related to OD, you'll find plenty due to their lack of judgement. I've known people that have died in car accidents while high.

While I am against driving while under the influence of any intoxicant, it is a fact that several government studies, performed by the US and British governments, have concluded that marijuana does not impair driving ability.

A lethal dose of marijuana is bascially the amount that would cause asphyxiation. There is no record of this ever occurring. Roughly 10,000 people in America die every year from illicit drug use, primarily from accidental heroin overdose caused by the fact that the illegal drug market does not regulate dosage and purity. More than 100,000 Americans die every year from legal prescription drug use, primarily from harmful drug interactions.

Calling every person who ever smokes pot a pothead is the same as calling every person who ever has just the slightest drink of alcohol an alcoholic.

IGBT resorts to these types of arguments because his stance has no logical backing.

Really the "bad for you" argument is stupid too, and not just because alcohol (which is FAR more harmful than ANY illegal drug out there) is legal.

Imagine if everything that was considered "bad for you" was illegal.

Well, pretty much common sense dictates whether you should or should not do something. Should I eat a snickers bar or an apple? The answer is pretty obvious anyone could tell me that. Not that I always do the right thing. I never presumed to tell anyone else what they should do.
Whether you agree with the illegal status of marijuana or not, you can't seriously claim smoking it is GOOD for you.

You never said anything about smoking it. Neither did I. You do not have to smoke pot to get high.

So you were saying?

What's wrong with getting high? Have you ever been intoxicated (alcohol)? Do you have some kind of moral prohibition against that?

At high doses it might even cause poor grammar.

And you're too drunk to think about the damage that alcohol does to your stomach and liver?

Yes I have been intoxicated and not just with alcohol. I quit all that crap because it is a waste of brain cells. I don't have a moral problem with it I just think it is dumb. I just meant that using the reasoning that because alcohol is worse and it is legal, that marijuana should be legal too is flawed.

Marijuana addiction has the same characteristics as any other addiction to other drugs including alcohol, tobacco or even caffeine. The frequent obsession with the drug, thinking about it all the time, where to get it, when to get it, is there enough, is it good enough, will I have the money for more are frequently asked questions. Another trait of marijuana addiction is the physical craving that comes when the body adapts to the drug and begins to develop a tolerance to it. Anyone who has been smoking marijuana for awhile can tell that they must smoke more now to feel the same effect that just a few hits used to produce. It's not about the quality of the weed, it's the bodies defense mechanism as it readjusts to keep balance with the frequent supply of new chemicals being delivered by the pot.

Tolerance is not the same as physical addiction. Not that that matters as there are countless substances that are truly physically addicting that are completely legal. It is more than possible -- even likely -- that you're taking one of them under prescription right now.
