Also i do not see the legalization of marijuana in america coming because groups such as norml are pretty much seen as a joke to everyone except people who use marijuana.
It seems to be this way in Japan.
I also see alcohol and tabacco as a controlled substance but they don't seem to alter your mind or activities as easily.

This is like my first post on here.. but I just had to reply because this comment is so completely wrong and uninformed it hurts. Marijuana is not similar to meth or heroin in any way. The high is not similar and there is no cross tolerance between them. Doing meth or heroin will not make your tolerance to weed stronger, and vice versa. The only reason weed is considered a gateway drug is because it is illegal. Someone who sells weed often sells other drugs that are harmful.
Alcohol and tobacco are both physically addictive. Tobacco causes over 435,000 deaths a year, the number one cause of death in America. Alcohol comes in third (after poor diet and physical inactivity) with 85,000 deaths a year.
There are no deaths attributed to Marijuana use.
