Marijuana, or anything substance that alters your consciousness or perception of reality, is bad for people. Whether or not their is a cost to be extracted is a personal experience but society has only one choice in its view of such things and that is to be against them catagorically. We can't afford to give out "passes" to reality.

So you favor alcohol prohibition then?

Good one. Alcohol is problematical, isn't it? But if you have a glance of wine with dinner or beer with pizza you are not trying to alter your perceptions. And you aren't in fact altering them usually with one or two drinks. You light a joint or your favorite pipe what are you hoping to do? It is different, at least on the face of it. Sure we both might have had one too many...
My crusade here is that we all (or maybe just me and mine) go to extraordinary efforts to stave off reality. Reality is terribly boring and sometimes awful, after all. But if we are to advance as a species and prosper then we best pay strict attention to what is. Mariajuana does affect your perceptions both short, and long, term. No question about it.
