Yeah, many pain killers far better, and less addictive than pot...
Let's see...
Oxycotin (Check)
Vicodin (Check)
Morphine (Check)
ah....

You have to add a barf alert to that kind of post.
Only those that abuse alcohol are trouble.
For the most part, alcohol is a food purifier mentioned even in the Bible directly with food. It is also a known blood thinner.
If used in moderation or less it isn't an issue, whereas pot goes directly to the brain faster than an injection.
Don't believe me?
Go look up what is considered a faster passage to the brain, the lungs or the injection. You will be surprised.
The stomach with alcohol is a much slower way in, you can have food with it and it hits a whole different area of the brain.
They are NOT similar. Though you are right that people who abuse it, like any recreational drug users should suffer the consequences.

I've never seen anyone become violent or aggressive due to use of pot.

Yeah, and Putnam for the last 20 years was screaming about illegal immigration from the south.
He seems always right, doesn't he.

Wow, so fifty years ago, George also found the same thing we find today with our violent offenders in state prison, that almost all violent offenders use pot in connection with their other drugs or it was their gateway drug...
More of what we all already know.

Our prisons are filled with violent offenders. But they hardly stop with pot Sender, what they do is mix pot with all kinds of junk then go out and kill or do other nasty stuff.
It's better to avoid it altogether IMO.

Those kinds of things are needed for people with cancer who are going to die or for those with bad backs where the disks have permanently damaged nerves who wish they were already dead.
Those poor people will have no life. It's a tough break.

That's probably true, better to avoid it altogether. However I don't think there should be anyone in prison, learning violent and criminal ways, just for possession of pot.

Interesting that all of the people in prison for nothing more than MJ possession are so few that we could probably list them in less than a page.
These guys are all dirty, and the way the MJ gets on their rap sheet is they plea bargain down to it.

If someone possesses a little, it's a ticket most places. If you go into business selling it, or if you are growing a substantial amount of it, you will be in jail and that is reasonable IMO. People need to make good choices in life.

Could be they had lots of MJ, growing or distributing it through sales.
I would call the sales of pot drug dealing.

So would most sane people.
I've never touched pot, but I've been around potheads before.
Know what? I perfer them to drunks.
To: RightWhale
The article by Putnam was "exactly" about how the use of the drug pot was horrible.
What did you think of the modern links of pot to depression and schizophrenia?

He was attacking Mexicans fifty years ago, just like Hearst in the thirties. It has nothing to do with immigration.

There is a common thread of good judgment in this reporters work over the last 50 years.
He was ahead of his time on immigration and is right as well about the drugs.

[ Marijuana is not a benign drug. Use of this drug impairs learning and judgment and may lead to the development of mental health problems. ]
Like the American democrat party.. except not as bad..
And increasingly like the republican party too..
I don't do the stuff but have in the past.. The democrat party is much much worse of a negative influence than marijuana.. it appears to be worse than even Crack..
Legalizing home grown grass would make the grass market nose dive..
SOoo, thats not going to happen..
WHY.?.. WHY indeed... A good question that will NEVER be asked..
WHY.?.. Why Indeed..
( I could on like this for many more iterations BUT)..
You got it..

almost all violent offenders use pot in connection with their other drugs
The number one drug of violent offenders is alcohol. Many of them use coffee in connection with their other drugs.
You immitate George well. When are you going to give us the news about the new "miracle cure" discovered by your good friend Dr. Snakeoil?
You both make unsubstantiated claims and spout the same old propaganda. He is more entertaining than you though. I miss the old marijuana madness stuff. It was always good for a laugh!

Pot is a dangerous drug, there is no reason to defend it.
Here's about pot and it's cause of depression and schitzophenia for you.

Just so you see the bad stuff about this illegal drug unfolds still.
I'm sure this will completely change your mind being this is from a reputable source.
Or maybe no proof in the world is good enough for someone who wants their recreational drugs.
