Um, gee, I said it was bad for your lungs didn't I? That would be exactly the same as saying "Nobody claims it's harmless" wouldn't it? If you EAT pot, it is not any kind of CREDIBLE medical risk, I suppose it is possible to ingest spores or something, but I've never in my life heard of anyone getting hurt from eating it. As for your other "point", not everybody smokes pot alone in their own homes, but what friends do in one of their homes, or in the woods, or anywhere where it DOESN'T HURT other people is nobody's business either. I obviously disagree with anti-pot guys like you, but I respect your opinions and can fathom why you think what you do. What I don't understand is that the anti-pot people are almost always the uncivil ones in these threads, they are always the self-righteous, I'm better than you because I don't do drugs type people. Guys like me almost always just write informative points about pot. Maybe instead of us getting our stories straight, you people ought to learn some respect.
No, and you know it. Marijuana is not illegal because it is bad for your lungs.
"... I'm better than you because I don't do drugs type people ..."
Many pro-marijuana people on this forum claim not to do drugs, so how could I have that attitude? It just comes down to the fact that I have yet to hear one good reason why pot (just pot) should be legalized. (As an example, if it could be shown that people would switch from alcohol to pot if pot were legal, I would consider that to be a good reason.)
Now, I have heard good arguments as to why ALL drugs should be legal. I've heard good arguments as to why the drug legalization decision should be turned over to the states. I've heard good arguments as to why marijuana should be decriminalized.
But legal? Nationwide? Nope. I see no overall benefit for the nation as a whole if marijuana were legal.
