Would you consider it safe to drive while drunk? So how about driving while high? Or do people that are high on marijuana not drive? They just sit at home and wait to come down right. No they show up at my work place trying to order tacos.

So would you then consider it natural?

No more unnatural than creating a vanilla extract out of regular vanilla for flavoring food.

Cannabis Doesn't Cause Cancer, But It Might Cure It | Stop the Drug War (DRCNet)

Lots of the "side effects" of marijuana were determined a long time ago. When the war on drugs began. Many of the "tests" they did were very skewed in favor of saying weed is bad. Now newer studies are finding out the opposite, marijuana has good effects.

Also here is a pretty good doc. The Union

Of course both sides are going to use statistics or so called "scientific" testing to get these results to either show it is good or bad. Really it comes down to one thing , personal freedom. If you really want to do something that's harming nobody but yourself why should the government have a right to tell you what to do? The only really bad effects of the drug come from the prohibition and the violence involved with the illegal transportation and sales.

I bet you were high when you double posted too, huh?

I'm glad Japan enforces these laws. I think every country should enforce the same way. That's one thing that I hate about this country; you can get away with it. It doesn't matter where the drug comes from, it's illegal. You can drink one beer and not suffer from the same effects as one joint. I applause Japan on their laws.

Put it down, already. Enjoy life for what it is.

Do you dislike alcohol as well? If it wasnt illegal would you still have a problem with it? or is it only because it is illegal.

I guess because, yes it is illegal and it's potency is much greater than that of alcohol. Like I said, one beer or one cigarette is nothing compared to one joint. I think we would have a greater problem if it were legal in this country. Even though alcohol can cause lots problems for people, I think it's effects are far less than that of marijuana.

To answer your question, if alcohol were illegal then I would certainly have a problem with it. I love me some alcohol now, but when it comes to breaking the law, I just have to step away from it. I can't afford to break the law and certainly try not to.
