Drug dealers DAMN YOu!

I am not claiming that marijuana is worse than alcohol. But I don’t understand why you want 2 evils instead of 1. In most cases where marijuana is involved in car accidents it is found used in combination with alcohol. Now the legal alternatives are alcohol and tobacco, which combined don’t cause any extra impairment, as opposed to marijuana and alcohol. Now as for harder drugs like cocaine, heroin, LSD and so on, their use is completely unacceptable.
People like you try to claim that marijuana is not a gateway drug, but speaking from personal experience I know two people that started with marijuana, one moved on to hallucinogens the other to cocaine. One realized their actions and was able to quit the other was forced to go to rehab, to avoid jail time. Neither of them finished college.

I'm not claiming people who do marijuana won't do other drugs. Most of the time, those people who do marijuana and move on to other drugs, are usually people with a troubled life or wanting to get away and get a different high. When marijuana is not enough for their escapism, soon the high moves to other drugs.

For myself, I admit I have done marijuana and I do marijuana from time to time, only because right now its summer, I'm free and I just love to be impaired every once in a while. To me it's no different from alcohol, and in fact I have found alcohol to impair me far worse than marijuana does, and hangovers are far worse to deal with, than burnout from marijuana. During school tis a different story. However, I have never felt addicted to it, nor have I had the urge to try other things.

On a side note, look at Jimi Hendrix, the guy probably experimented with lsd, acid, coke, marijuana etc., and produced ( in my opinion ) some of the best music ever, and was ( in my opinion, as well as Rolling Stones ) the best guitarist. Then again, he did live a short life. That doesn't mean that there is a justification to use drugs, but I guess it's all about personal choice, responsibility and upbringing. I am not about forcing my morals upon others, as Jimi said in that one song called "If 6 was 9" I believe, "Let me live my life the way I want to".

Here's an example of marijuana use leading to a life and death situation.

That's a good example of how marijuana can add on to further problems, granted someone already is as xxxxed up to begin with, as the gentleman involved.

I love it how the media cherry picks what it wants to use, in this case marijuana. We can virtually isolate any aspect of this mans life and blame his entire present behavior on that one nook, such as bad parenting, or obvious neurohormonal problems, or perhaps it's just in his genes, etc.

What I find strange is that very few reports if any that have pointed out that marijuana use can cause people to be mentally disturbed nut cases, as this man. In fact this here is an interesting study done several years ago, yet clearly holds merit on the issue at hand.

DID YOU READ THE ARTICLE YOU FREAKIN IDIOT??

The judge that sentenced him to death was a marijuana addict. It is yet unknown how many other cases he's screwed up.

Yes I did and it was a thoughtful read however I went off on a tangent addressing another issue.

Yes, weed does cause you to be 'in another world' so to speak, but some people don't even need weed for that.
