Yes but that's you. Weed has different effects on people, just like any other drug.

No offense, but unless you roll the biggest joint in the world, half a join isn't going to do much to anyone.

Personally, I think stupid people use weed and other drugs as an excuse for their own stupidity.

If the government's goal was to get more taxes, they'd stop giving us these $2,000 rebates. Five cents on gas will raise more money than a dollar tax on cigarettes, a lot of that money goes to certain funds anyway, such as anti-cigarette advertising.

Well yeah, cuz you just smoked half an ounce. You can also smoke half an ounce and say you can jump higher, but that doesn't make it true.

But the fact remains, that after all the anti-smoking campaigns and advertising, they are still raking in the cash everyday and they aren't going to stop it anytime soon.

And you can falsely state propagandist views of marijuana, but that doesn't make it true.

Ha! I love when people rattle off facts about weed, when none of its true. Fabricated facts from the government just to ensure the public that marijuana should be illegal.

If it's not harming people, why do you think it would be illegal?

He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
-Micah 6:8 NIV

Alcohol harms people and it's legal. I just don't see your point.

"Don't vote, it only encourages them."

Well maybe alcohol should be illegal then.

Things aren't illegal for no reason. Yes, maybe marijuana has some benefits (although that's becoming more and more questionable), but that doesn't mean that those benefits outweigh the risks.

• Smoking marijuana regularly will damage healthy lung tissue.
• It depresses the immune system.
• Marijuana is no longer or extremely rarely used for medicinal purposes these days because further studies have shown that it actually has a negative affect on patients and their medical issues.
• Marijuana has been shown to cause acute toxic psychosis, panic attacks (one of the very conditions it is being used experimentally to treat), flashbacks, delusions, depersonalization, hallucinations, paranoia, depression, and uncontrollable aggressiveness.
• It worsens mental disorders.
• It can be addictive.

It's your choice, but I wouldn't want to put something in my body that is damaging and hurting my health, and I certainly never want to be addicted to any substance. Nothing is going to have control over my body.

He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
-Micah 6:8 NIV
