marrijuana be legal? whats your opinion on this herb

[Zelda the Beautiful]

I don't see a problem with maryjane, as long as you're old enough, and no I don't smoke it.

You're never "old enough." Marijuana can kill anyone regardless of age. It does nothing but harm except when used for medical purposes--why should something like that be legal?

Weed = Bad
Alcohol = Much, much worse.

Let me paraphrase a quote of PZoHs:

You're never "old enough." Marijuana can't kill anyone regardless of age. It does nothing but harm except when used for medical purposes--why should something like that be legal?

You're never "old enough." Alcohol/Cigarettes can kill anyone regardless of age. It does nothing but harm except when used for medical purposes (Note that Cigarettes have no medical purposes and Alcohol has few)--why should something like that be legal?

Marijuana is actually among the safest drugs out there. Many of the so called facts, like that it causes brain damage, are merely fabrications, exaggerations or hoaxes that have been spread over the years. And I've never even heard of this bit about impotence
A comparison of Marijuana and Alcohol would look like this:

Marijuana is a mild hallucinogen
Alcohol is a depressant

Marijuana causes few physical side effects
Alcohol causes liver damage, and, in general, serious pain with heavy usage

Marijuana is not physically addicting
Alcohol is

Marijuana is barely psychologically addicting
Alcohol is strongly psychologically addicting

Marijuana makes you kinda lazy and clumsy and such
Alcohol makes you surly, slow and dumb

Well, it maybe not cause PERMANENT Damage, but It seems like it to other people. It can't kill, but you can't get it on when doing the *puff*.

wow... tiz been awhile since thou has posted here. I'll make it short and simplistic. i hath become rather fond of marijuana and hath been smoking it since the middle of october. I started to smoke it when i was going through my break up with my ex of like... 3 years... (haha another story for another time) But i became rather fond of it and the effect it gave me. It allowed me to escape the pains of this world, no matter what they were (emotional, physical, parents, siblings, friends, whatever). The only reason i couldn't stand it was the crash afterwards... everything was always 10 times worse. I've given it up mostly, but i continue to enjoy the benefits of it occasionally when i am with some of my closest friends and it tiz available. I have never once had to pay for it, for when i'm with my friends, that tiz a sign of true friendship, sharing that which may causeth you to lose thy money because you want that person to feel with you... understand kinda? its hard to explain, but any stoner will tell you that if you are with friends, friends share, if you are with unknowns, they pay, than share. lol anywho, that tiz all. I do believe it should be made legal therefore it allows citizens to get it, and not crave it as much for it tiz available to them. The more you keep something out of reach, the more you crave it. Take it as the cookie jar example. Your mom makes cookies, tells u not to touch them, but all that makes u want to do is grab the jar and rip out as many of the cookies as possible and eat it no matter what. =) take care my friends and hopefully i shall be posting here more...
