What are the facts about recreational marijuana? Are you sure pot is harmless? And should it be legal?
While the multi-billion dollar marijuana lobby insists that cannabis is harmless, more and more researchers and medical professionals are reaching a different conclusion.
Based on facts and up-to-date science, this post will help you cut through the fog of misinformation and discover what recreational marijuana is doing to disrupt and destroy the moral and social fabric of America.
1. Marijuana Intoxication Warps Reality
Marijuana is a form of intoxication. Anyone who becomes intoxicated surrenders their ability to make sound moral decisions. Free will is either compromised or lost for a period of time.
However, people see this intoxication as a means to escape from reality. Pop culture worships immediate pleasure so much that it prods us to give up our most noble faculty -- reason -- in exchange for a mind-numbing "experience." Some people even risk their lives for a fleeting sensation of pleasure or excitement.
Drug abuse holds sectors of America hostage. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 192 families per day lost someone to a drug overdose in 2017.[1] Thats the same as a plane crash a day in the U.S.

"While the multi-billion dollar marijuana lobby insists that cannabis is harmless, more and more researchers and medical professionals are reaching a different conclusion. Based on facts and up-to-date science..." Someone's smoking horse nuggets.
Real scientific research on the medical uses of marijuana has been going on for decades, and yes, they have discovered many medical uses for it.
Sure, the psychoactive effects of medicinal marijuana can be unpleasant to some people, but you soon get over that if you have a life threatening illness.

Marijuana should be legal at the federal level. It's not an issue the federal government should be involved in. It's a state issue. It's not the danger some make it out to be, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have any risk either. It doesn't make people aggressive like alcohol. The fact is alcohol is responsible for far more deaths than marijuana, both directly and indirectly. They can both be used responsibly, and they can both be abused. I don't need the corrupt government telling me what's best for my health when they've allowed Oxycontin to be given out like candy. The war on drugs is a joke. If the government took it serious we would have secured our borders by now.

Marijuana is a gateway drug.Just ask any junkie,crackhead,meth head...
To: ConernedAmerican
The vast majority of these arguments can be made against alcohol as well. Except that it is literally impossible to OD on marijuana, unlike booze.

Then explain why Singapore ranks near the top in the rate of schizophrenia among countries, while the US and the Netherlands rank near the bottom.

I would actually like to read and perpetuate this article. Successful bloggers know that the primary secret of their success is that readers aren't required to get a login and password to read their blogs. The secret to being successful in blogging is readership. Eliminating upwards of 95% of your potential audience is not a formula for success.

Then explain to me why Singapore has no homeless and the U.S. has millions of crazy drug-addled “homeless” people wandering the streets like the walking dead?
Drugs. And it all starts with dope.
To: fwdude
The Federal Government should have no say in whether pot is legal or illegal, except as applies to federal facilities and Bureaus.
States should definitely keep it illegal.
Good Lord! A Freeper who understands federalism? What's next?

Abstinence is a virtue.
Prohibition is a tyranny.
You can’t legislate against stupidity. Isn’t it time people resist the growth of the police state.
The war on drugs has been a disaster and the only winner in the war on drugs has been the police state and the prison industrial complex.
To: ConernedAmerican
This should be left to the States.
Which would lead to permanent conservative control of the Senate, and as a consequence control of the Supreme Court as well.

You claimed a causal relationship between mj and schizophrenia and said it is a big contributor. If that were so, then the US and the Netherlands should rank high and Singapore should rank low. That casts doubt on your claim, so it’s up to you to explain.

Just how "concerned" can you be considered when known addictive toxic carcinogenic mind altering substances are legal and readily sold?
Till yer ready to ban ethanol, tobacco, and caffiene, you're just pickin on the pot heads!

A certain percentage of people like to get a buzz.
I understand prohibition of substances like meth...extremely dangerous.
But IMO, federal laws criminalizing drugs are unconstitutional...that’s why it took an amendment to ban alcohol.
They should allow pharmaceutical companies to develop safer intoxicants...preferably a few that have an instant antidote available...like NARCAN® (naloxone HCI) | Nasal Spray 4mg, for opiates.
What if there was something akin to pot that had an instant antidote available? If you had a situation come up where you needed your wits about you just inhale the antidote like an asthma spray....hits the brain in seconds.
