Things people say about weed:
1. It's addictive! (So are cigarettes & alcohol.)
2. It impairs your judgment. (So does alcohol.)
3. It's bad for your health. (So are cigarettes, alcohol, and cheeseburgers.)
4. People can die from a drug overdose! (You can die from alcohol poisoning too but that's still legal.)
Give me one legitimate reason why weed should be outlawed. Just one.
Edit: 5. "It kills brain cells." (Not really.)
[i]"Marijuana (Cannabis) – Another myth among anti-drug campaigns is that marijuana kills brain cells; this is not at all true. Smoking weed or cannabis will not cause neurons to die. Despite the fact that marijuana may impair the brain while the user is high, it doesn’t do any cellular damage or really harm the brain. Based on most literature, it is one of the safest illicit substances for your brain. Really the only major thing that heavy marijuana use can do is increase your risk for developing schizophrenia."[/i]

[quote]Despite all the medical benefits marijuana has, doctors and scientists have long wondered whether smoking it damages the lungs. After all, if smoking cigarettes, or basically anything else, can damage the lungs, then the smoke from marijuana should as well. But according to a recent study from Emory University, that may not be the case. In a cross-sectional analysis using data from two rounds of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), researchers found that adults aged 18 to 59 who smoked one marijuana cigarette — aka joint — a day were still able to forcibly exhale the same volume of air in one second (known as forced expiratory volume, or FEV1) as someone who didn’t smoke marijuana. Measuring a person’s ability to exhale is called spirometry, and it’s the go-to method for diagnosing respiratory diseases, which impair lung function.[/quote] Full article: [url=http://www.medicaldaily.com/smoking-weed-doesnt-harm-lungs-if-its-joint-day-even-after-20-years-318432][/url]

42 commentairesAllowing Alcohol and cheeseburgers to be legal have very legitimate reasons. They're both fine in moderation and make the United States money while industries get to make money. The only reason Cigarettes are still legal is for the reason that it would be nearly impossible to make them illegal and forcing all major cigarette manufactures to shut down would severely hurt the U.S. Economy yet nobody can deny that letting Cigarettes be legal in the first place was a big fat mistake due to their addictive qualities. Legalizing marijuana nationwide would also be a giant mistake for the same reasons as a massive number of citizens would now be hooked on an addictive drug that holds the potential to make the individual go broke and then inherently not allow them to contribute to society and instead live on government money. To top it off after it's been implemented once the government realizes it's mistake it will be damn near impossible for them to put an end to what they began and repeal the law legalizing the God-forsaken drug.

Your whole post is based off comparing weed to other legal substances. How does this justify legalizing weed? Just because the government made mistakes in legalizing other substances DOES NOT and NEVER WILL justify legalizing weed. [i]~Slowly tips hat and walks away~[/i]

3 commentairesI suppose it might kill brain cells. I know these can be manipulated, but if people smoke marijuana for each day of a year (marijuana year), and are given 15 words to memorize, they can recall 0.5 less after 20 minutes than if they didn't smoke a marijuana year.

1 commentaireModifié par Bob : 3/23/2016 6:44:59 PMListen to me on this one how many drinks does it take to get drunk? Can't the person serving the liquor tell you that's enough if it was illegal accept for at bars Now say your at somewhere like a bar but for weed the person giving you the weed can't give you a certain amount because either way your going to get high As well as if someone is drinking and smoking that's mixing a depressant and whatever marijuana does to the user ( it varies between a lot of different types) could kill the person
