Re: Anything wrong with marijuana?
I don't know what age group you are...
I'm in my my early thirties & hardly indulge nowadays. But, i think we both agree that anyone grouping weed with nasty drugs like alcohol & cigarettes really doesn't know what they are talking about. I had this conversation at my local dog track a couple of days ago with one of my older friends ( he is early 60ish). It is odd that he both smoked & was drinking scotch , but i guess people become 'programmed that way' through the years. He's a nice guy, but it's hard to defeat all that rubbish you read & see in the press. Enjoy.

[ QUOTE ] lung cancer. Is that it? Then whats the big deal? [/ QUOTE ] I hope you are kidding. Is there any worse side effect than death? People don't survive lung cancer! [/ QUOTE ] Yeah if you mean what's wrong with it is it harmful..then this is the answer. But if you mean what's wrong with it why is it illegal...well then you got me. If cigarettes and booze are legal weed should probably be too. It's a gateway drug because people who sell drugs are salesman and make more money selling worse drugs. If people could get it from a weed store crime would go down and little girls gettin run over by a car full of potheads.

Re: I thought that was oil....
they're marxist terrorists because they sell cocaine, not the other way around. they weren't really marxists or terrorists before they grew cocaine, just a detail.

Re: Anything wrong with marijuana?
There is alot of propaganda out there. It's not harmless, but...
It does not kill brain cells (alcohol and narcotics do). It has a temporary disruptive effect on short-term memory. It is not physically addictive (alcohol and narcotics are). The 'gateway drug' argument is absurd. No intelligent person should be fooled. The primary reason to keep it illegal is the preservation of law-enforcement jobs. It's not good for you. It's not nearly as bad for you as some folks claim.

Either way Marijuana is definitely a gateway drug, for both smart and stupid people. You could argue that so are alcohol and cigarettes but marijuana is a gateway to other illegal drugs. You can sit here and say "doing one drug does not make you do another". And I will agree. However, smoking marijuana definitely makes you more likely to agree to try other drugs, shrooms being the biggest example ive seen. Then coke, herion etc. I have a lot (a lot a lot) of first hand experience in this with friends and family. Some very intelligent people. -JP
