It is, but it was no accident it was outlawed soon after women got the right to vote. The legality of alcohol actually makes it more dangerous in my eyes; I’m not for prohibition, but it really has to be handled differently as far as educating people at a young age.

As far as illegal drugs, keep them illegal and kill anyone who sells them to others. That is how countries that are serious about fighting drugs do it: compassion for the addict, death for the peddlers. We’ve just never been serious about them.

Exactly. I’m from a Dutch background. The “revolution” made people more dependent on drugs and Big Gov. They can smoke joints but have lost their freedom of speech to question.

Jesus drank wine. Alcohol is good in moderation. Pot – not so.

I was just joking around. Marijuana laws are just plain silly.

no, marijuana use has killed so many brain cells I genuinely believe it is why our population is so liberal, those who used drugs the least are Conservative, those who use it the most are Liberals, and those who use it sparingly are LIBERTARIANS, dead WRONG on moral issues but know how to count their checkbook

It is “less harmful than alcohol”? Yeah, right. Is groping less harmful than rape? The two wrongs make a right argument doesn’t persuade me, in any case.I’ve been to Amsterdam. The revolution is a lie.

I wish you were right. Some brainwashed kids and dopey adults don’t know that pot is bad for them. (“Brain scans? What brains scans?”)

Of the friends I have from back in my college days, the ones who smoked pot daily have HORRIBLE memories. Bad memories of times back then, AND bad short term memories. I am not a fan of pot because of how bad these people’s brains are now. It’s kind of sad.

This should not be surprising since the human brain isn't fully developed until after age 20 or so. By age fifteen the brain is still forming its structures and systems so the intrusion of alien chemicals cannot be considered benign.

Don’t know, man. But keep an eye out for the delivery guy. I ordered a pizza about a half hour ago.

Gee, where are all the FR cannabis libertarians who usually come out of the woodwork on any pot-related thread?

I’m normally getting flamed for describing my forty years experience of peeing in the bottle to prove my drug-free innocence in the military (started in Vietnam, ended with my retirement last January with one final urinalysis).

Smoking pot from one’s teen years onward is harmful? Wow, like man, whooda thunkit dude, you know I mean really!!?

Could dig a pizza now I got the munchies so bad. Can’t wait to vote again for that really cool Obama dude.
