Marijuana is a dangerous drug

How many people died from using marijuana last year?

that leads quickly for kids to other drugs

Correlation is not causation. Rather than showing that hard drug users use marijuana, tell me how many marijuana users end up using hard drugs? A small percentage.

but conservatism is about being the best you can be, not be the most MEDICATED you can be.

One of the major tenets of conservativism is that goverment should interfere with people's lives as little as necessary. The WOD goes against that tenet.

This lust for drugs IMO is a big liberal issue. I don't know how it gets posted at FR at all.

Many conservatives believe that the government should not ban an activity unless that activity infringes on the person or property of unwilling people. You don;t have to be pro-drug to be anti-WOD.

Almost no non-marijuana users end up using hard drugs ...

I'll keep it short and sweet for you.

Here in California, nearly EVERY violent offender locked up in jail are regular marijuana users. So pot is not THAT innocent at all since the sub-cultures dive so heavily into it's use.
PS, a third of all the violent offenders locked up are illegals.
