Agree or disagree (about marijuana)?

You don't have to approve of using marijuana to get ';high';, but please hear me out.

How can pot be banned when alcohol and tobacco are perfectly legal? I can ask this a million times but never get a straight answer, they're just complete and utter bullshit.

Gateway Theory: Marijuana leads to hard drugs.

My reply: The word ';gateway'; drug is so empty in meaning that its useless as anything but propaganda. Correlation does not equal causation. Its the most widely available illegal drug. I wonder how many of those meth addicts had drank alcohol, smoked tobacco, or tried prescription meds.

Societal Theory: Alcohol and Tobacco are accepted parts of our society making them fundamentally different from marijuana.

My reply to that: Precedent is no excuse for bad policy, slavery and child-labor were once accepted parts of our society, along with opium-laced baby medicines.

Enough problems already theory: Alcohol and Tobacco are bad enough, so why add to the problems?

Fact: Marijuana is by far the least harmful of the three. I challenge anyone who disagrees with me to do some research and to cite their RELIABLE sources otherwise we'll all know that you're pulling **** out of your ***. The main difference between marijuana and alcohol other than alcohol being more fatal to your health is the legal status. It's not the mind effecting part that cause marijuana and alcohol to differ, because they both effect the mind. Also, millions of Americans smoke marijuana regularly. And most marijuana related problems stem from the prohibition against it, not its use.

One thing I need to add, yes its true that marijuana has five times as much tar than a normal cigarette but most people don't smoke anywhere near as much marijuana as they do tobacco. Beyond that, smoking is far from the only means of ingestion. Vaporizing or cooking removes that risk. Also, this is for those of you who want to give me bullshit answers. Marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco all mess with the brain! Why do you think smokers smoke? A. because it gives them a high introducing nicotine and other chemicals to the brain, and B, the chemicals from the nicotine and smoke cause a chemical reaction in the brain, and the brain produces serotonin and other happy chemicals. Oh, and C, the mechanism of addiction, causing your brain to be dependent on the nicotine.

Do you agree or disagree with the information I have just showed you? Why or why not?Agree or disagree (about marijuana)?
Before I begin, 420 for life XD

I like your insight on the subject because you are taking somewhat a political view than a view of the physical substance it's self. Remember when you are opening this topic up to people who will automatically shoot your ideas down because it's about cannabis.

For the most part, I agree.Agree or disagree (about marijuana)?
Marijuana appeals to the weak minded and losers in life......



There is nothing to defend here... Pot make most folks apathetic and lazy.... You can sugar coat the B.S. all you want but pot is for losers....
