> The distinction between "soft" and "hard" drugs is, at best, artificial, especially with such a damaging psycho-active substance as modern-day cannabis. Even some advocates of cannabis as a "soft" drug are now reconsidering as they observe the devastating health consequences of abuse.
Why is it that fanatic drug haters always ridicule themselves by showing an absolute lack of knowledge about the subject? Not that I recommend getting high on dutch killer everyday for everyone, but devastating health consequences...do these people want to be taken serious?

It makes me wonder about their true motives. I don't think any of the drug warriors really give a damn whether "dopeheads" live or die so the incentive to interfere has to be religious, monetary or some kind of malicious authoritarianism.

They're not going to convince anybody who already does have knowledge about the subject, and it's easy to scare people who don't know anything about pot themselves.
