[quote]While a biomedical or casual relationship between Marijuana and the use of hard drugs has not been established, the statistical association is quite convincing. 12 to 17 year-olds who smoke Marijuana are 85 times more likely to use cocaine than those who do not. 60% of adolescents who use Marijuana before age 15 will later use cocaine.QUOTE]

The only reason that people who smoke bud are likely to use coke or heroin is because they are exposed to these drugs. If pot was legal, there would no longer be a connection between the people who smoke pot and the people who use hard drugs. The right wing facists (sp?) who say this just think there is no difference between potheads and crakheads.
LEGALIZE!!!

Ok, Well first off my name is Tara. I may not have something smart to say like everyone else who has replied to your dumbass note & I might not use big words but I can prove to be much smarter than you. Where the hell do you get off saying that Marijuana is bad? Weed is very good. I happen to know first hand obviously or I wouldn't be wasting my time defending it. You can't tell people that they cannot smoke. It should be made totally legal. People smoke it anyways, so what's the problem. the point is, the consumer will always find a way to get what they want. You and all the other assholes who don't want to legalize marijuana are just going to have to deal with those facts. Nobody is holding a gun to your head saying that you have to smoke it. So why say that someone else can't? That's pretty phucked up! People have the right to make their own decisions which will in the end affect them not you or anybody else! Phuck you and have a nice day!

Just a couple of quick facts. . .Coffee has over 800 volitile (sp?) chemicals in it, 16 of which have been tested and proved to be cancerous. A recent study has been done that proves pop (soda) causes cancer in the stomach. The world health organization deemed marijuana as being less harmful to the body than both alcohol and tobacco and I don't know about you, but it does a hell of a lot more for me than drinking or smoking.

first: Marijuana is an addicting substance, mentally; but then again so is sugar, cafeine, and fatty foods. there are no proven arguements or scientific evidence to support a claim that marijuana is addictive. second: there are absolutely no accounts of any deaths from THC poisoning, nor any accounts of THC or Marijuana related cases of cancer. thus saying that marijuana is a drug comprised of harmful materiel or that it is in itself a harmful drug is like saying that drinking a coffey is like smoking a cigarette or drinking mexican well-water.

I think it's funny how almost every person on this forum/website reads an anti-marijuana post and immediately flames them and states that they are wrong. The majority of research done concludes that marijuana has harmful effects, such as greater likelyhood of cancers.

I had been smoking weed almost every day for two weeks, and the day after I smoked one day my nose kept bleeding and since that day (nearly a month ago), I have had a persistent cough. I just started blazin this year, but I have smoked a fair amount of times. Ever since the day I stopped a month ago, I have had a serious craving for chronic. I plan to smoke again but it just serves as a heads up to me, weed can be harmful. This is my own story.

However, I believe that not only marijuana, but all drugs should be legalized. I am a constant philosopher and thinker, and I have many reasons why they should be legal. There should be no restrictions or censorship on drugs, for the simple fact that clever people will discover whether or not they want to use drugs based on the facts.

So in a nutshell; I am against the post stating that marijuana shouldn't be legalized, but I agree with what he stated, and it is not a flame or anti-marijuana post, so chill out people.

I like how it says "Marijuana.com - A Community of Compassion" yet the second someone says "I think I may be a little addicted to bud" people call them an idiot and a moron and slam him. Jeez, relax guys... it's a PLANT, you don't have to freak out and go on defensive-mode.

Not to sound negative, but a lot of people who preach and push marijuana are as hypocritical as those who shun it and think it is evil. They both neglect the other side of the issue which they don't agree with, and whoever crosses that line they ostracize and condemn.

Nothing in life is perfect. There is no substance which is without fault. I like smoking weed yet I acknowledge the fact that it has negative affects on the lungs and, regardless of what people say, leaves room for some kind of addiction. If you read the countless posts by kids saying they feel anxious after they quit or are picking through roaches in their ashtray or scrounging for bud on the floor, you'll understand that MAYBE smoking weed everyday without a break isn't the best for you.

Up until a month ago I smoked everyday for a loong time. I did well in school and it didn't affect me, yet I started to think "hmmm, what is the need for changing my mental state for the majority of the day?". Because of that I stopped smoking habitually. You may cite anectodal evidence that says it is harmless and blah blah blah, but if you are one of those who want to get high everyday and all day, well how is that different than wanting to get drunk everyday and all day? Who cares if it isn't having negative affects, if you have a need to escape 100% sobreity you have some inner issues.

If I could be drunk all day and it didn't have health/mental/social affects, would that make it alright?

Everyone should chill, enjoy their own opinions, respect others, and realize that they like a bowl to relax, not to get all uppity and defend their "holy plant" or whatever

Agreed. Some people treat Weed like it is their religion or something. It is important to protect and defend your beliefs, but it is also important to acknowledge what is happening outside your beliefs and other peoples' opinions. I can totally understand how some people feel about weed, because for some people it truly improves their lives. Especially for those who have depression (like me, but not severe, a sort of different case). Stop thinking Weed is life. I remember when for a moment life revolved around weed for me; having a good time with friends meant we had to smoke, meeting strangers over a few bowls, working and spending money for another sack (not to mention that you start converting everything into bud like it's a currency). I mean a little bit of each of those is alright, but when it's like everyday or everytime.. =/ I feel that smoking with someone makes me a lot more comfortable around that person.
