Thank you Sorrow and Jones for proving my point
It isn't like I'm smoking and ounce before I got to work and/or school I smoke like a gram out of my bong or pipe

I'm getting kind of annoyed with people still sticking to the "Marijuana can damage brain cells"
"Marijuana hurts your liver"
"I have no apparent dick and I like tofu"

After all these threads, some people are still arguing that marijuana damages your body significantly.
Also, driving while high. Silly, man.
Imagine coming down from it and then bam, your asleep at the wheel.

The gateway effect isn't even real. It's been shown that some people naturally have a disposition to do drugs. They start with marijuana first because it's most accessible.

agree, hell i just got home from driving high... i relax but i also think "cant fuck up".

Take, in to account your dangers and go on with what your doing.


And as i think a I already said, most people dont start with weed. usually its alcohol that leads to weed, of cigs.

if it were legal id smoke 2 packs a weeks .

You're not helping the argument. >_<

Ive got a few friends that smoke cannabis on a regular base, sometimes more.
These guys are the most mellow, laid back, considerate and respectfull guys i know. Very open minded.
In comparence to those i know that do not smoke but rather drink, i would legalize it in an instant.
9 out of 10 times people that judge the use of cannabis didnt even experience it themselves and dont even know at first hand experience, what kind of effect it has and how it feels, i feel you cant judge something you didnt even experience.
Also some of my other friends ( with wich i socialize allot less ) are drinkers and all hate cannabis and say its bad, these guys are not mellow and laid back, let alone open minded. These guys got told it was bad and just resite it while drowning themselves in alcohol wich will bite them in the ass when they turn +/-50.

Also for the record in all my experience ( quite a few ) with mariuana ive never been agressive or in any other way a bastard, also my friends never been like that. The drunk ones though can be total bastards and tend to become more agressive during conversations/discussions.


In my experience cannabis can be dangerous if you stop thinking about it as a mind-state altering experience, and just something normal.
Sure this drug might not be addictive to the body, but many people can get addicted to the experience of it.

So it has some bad sides, i also agree that driving under the influence of mariuana isnt a good idea. Just like you wouldnt drink and drive, with mariuana reaction-time does get influenced in a negative way.

All in all i would legalize it, but i would be fine with it not being allowed behind the wheel.
And people should be educated on the "habit" effect it has one some people. But lets not fool ourselves, a point can be made here, alcohol is "in my eyes" a way more dangerous drug/poison then mariuana. Look at the total mess alcohol leaves behind it.Daddys beating children, fights outside/inside clubs, entire families breaking appart, liver failure, brain damage etc. Yet it is one of the few legalized drugs, its got more bad rep then most illigal drugs. That must put things in perspective for people who are against and never even tried it. A least i hope there will be a bell that goes "ding"

Im kind of tired of those who judge it while at the same time having 0.0% experience on the subject. Try it and see for yourself.

this is interesting, in the netherlands marijuana is not only legal but sold at farmacies(sorry for spelling) as a drug rather than painkillers, although to sell it you have to have a license, and ever since its legalisation, use has DROPPED.

its suspected that people used to use it as a kind of rebelion, but seriously, its been proven that marijuana causes less deaths than alchohol anyway. i live in australia so the legal drinking age is 18, which i think is just stupid, so many people die from alchohol here that the penalties are just around the same for being caught driving on it.

i would legalise marijuana but make the laws similar if not the same as tey are in the netherlands.

Drug related deaths would massively drop if marijuana was legalized, and in school drug education programs they taught people how to take it safely, good size doses etc.

Any drug abuse with weed is 10x time less harmful then any other drug, and i feel a lot of people are foced into drinking because there job has random drug tests.
Drinking isnt even fun, whats so fun about puking all over yourself while you sleep. also there are a lot of fights that happen under the influence of booze,
that shit never happens when anyone is high.
