Why are you not also arguing for the prohibition of alcohol and tobacco? Stop thinking in the past. Your reasons are all full of IFs and MAYBEs and flooded with hypocrisy.

Why are you not also arguing for the prohibition of alcohol and tobacco?

Stop thinking in the past.

"Socially Addictive" realy... Alchohol is more socially addictive and way more dangerous and thats some thing i could walk down the street and get. 2.Marijuana Could Be Addictive: Are you serious? It is scientifically proven that Marijuana is not Addictive. Only week minded people think that. if you dont balive it research it http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/study-say-marijuana-no-gateway-drug-12116.html 3.Medical Use is Not Accepted: Um.. i dont have to even try to say something thats just stupid to say 4.Evidence Suggests It Is A Gateway Drug: Only because people who smoke canibus are grouped together drug users and ive been smooking canibus for a long time. I have friends veterans in there 60's that smook and they have not wanted to try anything again do some research only the week minded fools think like that. 5.It is Associated With Laziness: Im sorry for taking time off to smook and be relax in this world full of stress and hate. And only hipies think like that dam hipies gave marijuana smokers a bad name... 6.Marijuana is Not the Only Pain-Easing Drug: True but you cant over dose on Canibus. and id rather smook canibus than take something that took chemistry to make not realy knowing how my body will react to the pills. Canibus is a safe way to relive pain. 7.Marijuana Can Have Negative Short-Term Side Effects: i have notice that the people who get Perinoia wyll using canibus are people that come from stricked backrounds and who have grown up and led to balive that canibus is bad.. but once they become aware that its not as bad as people say it is that stops. 4 real Emergency help for smoking weed never in my life have i heard of that. That would only be plausible if the person had some sort of lug condition that was not asma 8Marijuana Can Have Negative Long-Term Side Effects: Lung cancer im a Boxer how the hell you gana tell me that it slows me down. can you go 3 12 minit rounds? i dont think so. Im fit, athletic, i box i win.. thats just stright bull... Marijuana Legality Increases the Possibility of Driving Under the Influence: Hard to argue with this one but through personla expirience im a better driver when i drive "under the influnce of canibus" than sobber because im acutaly more aware and actualy paying attention more. and somking canibus wyll driving is no diffrent than smoking a cigaret wyll driving. and the resone 15 perect of acidents are traced to canibus is because there are way more canibus smokers than you think. It Would Still Be Illegal For Teens: Hu if it is ligalized i will gez that you would half to be 18 or 21 legalyzing canibus would lift us from this so called dipretion just think about all that sin tax and no more drug delers no more so called criminals in jail for posetion of canibus. in conclusion do some scietific research and you will see that canibus is not the villan you guys made it to be. and if you disagree i propose a challenge i smoke canibus and i mean lots of it right before i go 12 rounds with some one and you see my had held up high youll see.. that it would be some proff ill be back to post a link for the video i got a boxing match on dec 28 so thats when i will conduct and post this video... please excuse my spelling english is a second language to me..

Marijuana is not a drug for "hippies and losers". that's like saying that everyone who drinks is an uncontrollable alcoholic. And what kind of "risky sexual behavior" would you do? smoking weed does not make you turn into a slut. that's a personal choice. i really hope you don't use these reasons to talk to your children because they won't take you seriously. i can’t even finish reading this because it’s so incredibly false.

Most people who smoke are too "wasted" to go out, get a gun, shoot themselves. You sound like someone who did not know their kid, as you say yourself "He was a superb actor, and we had no reason to suspect he wasn’t truthful". The reason to not to trust him is because he was a kid. As a 20 year old myself I know you there are no kids who DON'T lie to their parents. Although I do feel bad for your loss. Onto the article - point by point. Saying "Under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, marijuana is..." legitimizes the law that is under discussion. You cant bring a proof FOR the law FROM the law. Marijuana is NOT physically addicting. A heavy (pot) smoker for years that quit suddenly would not have any decon effects. The reason there aren't a lot of medical reports on pot (there are some.) is because it is illegal in the US to even study it! You can get heroin in the US to study it, you can get most other chemicals and make a study on it, but not pot. The only way marijuana is a gateway drug is because the only way to get a hold of it (other then medical dispensaries) is from drug dealers! It is true that marijuana is associated with laziness. However, why should it be illegal for that? Is it against the law to be lazy? True pot is not the ONLY painkiller, but all drugs have side effects, and for many pot has less then most other pills. Also, that is hardly a reason not to legalize it! More ways to feel better is better! And in regards to legalizing pot making it more likely for people to drive under the influence, that cant be more false! Do you think if drinking was banned there would be less people drinking and driving? Yeah. OK. I find it hard to believe that the reason your son committed suicide was because of the pot.

Those two acts are completly different. According to my critical thinking class at a california communtiy college you have commited a fallacy called non sequitur whick means does not follow.

Most of which are either based on outdated studies that are rejected by the scientific and medical communities, or are simply lies. I smoke cannabis every now and then, I work 10 hours a day at a construction site, go spend an hour at the gym, come home and make dinner for my brothers and sisters and still have enough time to do my studies. Does that sound lazy to you? Does that sound like the type of person that will be counter productive in this society? I think not. Its a shame that so many people who claim to be insightful are actually going against such a harmless substance like cannabis without having knowledge of its medicinal value or even what it is truely like to be high. Its disgraceful to see so many people of the American public not realize the benefits of legalizing marijuana. If you are one of these people, get educated on this subject and do some reflecting- the reasons shouldn't be hard to find. What pathetic reasons to not legalize marijuana.
