So which do you think is more dangerous?

I could be wrong but about a month or so back I remember something on the news about a limited number of farmers in ND being able to grow hemp for "legal" comsumer use.

Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

You forgot that Dorito and Mt Dew sales would skyrocket, making Frito Lay and Pepsi two of the richest companies in the world.

Assuming everyone started smoking pot. Studies have shown that the # of smokers pre and post ban would not be significantly different..IE there wouldn't be too many new smokers compared to what there already are. Being as 45% or so Americans admit to having tried it once. You're also assuming everyone would be high 24/7 when in reality it would probably be treated similarly to alcohol, a recreational high for weekends/parties/etc.

I havent tried it nor will I ever try it. Nothing positive comes from doing drugs. If you like pot more power to you. I just hope you dont kill some one.
Doesnt pot make you paranoid? I think it does. Seeing you holding that gun and smoking pot makes me think twice. I understand that the picture is your avitar. Whats to say someone else had a weapon and smoked pot?

not true. a man in germany died as a direct cause of smoking excessive amounts of marijuana over an extended period of time. no cigarettes, no other drugs. granted he was the only man ever known to die as a directly from smoking too much pot, its still possible.

A review of his autopsy overruled that original ruling. They couldn't link his death to marijuana usage.
As for being high and using guns, I will say this...you're not as retarded as they make you out to look. Sure i've tried it, do I do it regularly? No. I do it probably 4-6x a year. Draw your own conclusions from that if you want but the thing is, you're not out to shoot someone or anything. You don't feel invincible, you don't feel like shooting anyone/anything. The main thing you feel like doing is laughing and eating. You're drawing conclusions off of what anti-drug ads tell you. Thats like drawing your own conclusion on gun control based off just what the brady campaign tells you, basing politics off of just what the democrats tell you...you have to look at things from both sides.
Granted there are people who overly abuse the drug, and it's sad yes. Whether or not it's illegal though they are still and will still do it. The plant has potential to do 1000x more good than harm, plus it's a way to increase revenue as well as decrease our dependence on foreign goods. Think about the legalization from more than just the "you smoke it to get high" perspective.

Marijuana will be legal within 10 years once people start realizing how harmless it is compared to alcohol/tobacco plus all the benefits hemp can provide for this country...anyone who's actually researched it with a more open mindset than "legalize it so I can get high all the time/keep it illegal so kids don't do drugs" will realize it's a very versatile plant that could produce millions/billions of dollars in revenue and wean us off dependence on other countries. The oil is more efficient than ethanol, hemp paper is 7x stronger than wood paper, the seeds are the most nutritious seeds around and birds will eat them first out of any other seed in a mixed pile, etc. etc.I did my senior research paper on that and I actually got Mrs. Ferguson on board after reading my paper.
Dustin, I believe FAR more than 45% of Americans have tried it. I think it is more in the 80-90%'s...

From my past experiences, smoking pot did not make me paranoid in the least, in fact it had the opposite affect really. I felt more relaxed and calm....with an overwhelming desire to consume fluids (water, Mt Dew, Beer....whatever) and eat pizza/doritos. Like Tony said, I think the actual number of people who have tried marijuana is probably much higher than those that admit it.I'm not saying everyone should be stoned 24/7, but I'd much rather be around someone on Marijuana than someone whos drunk on Vodka/jag/tequilla/etc.... Pot smokers can still have rational conversations when high, ever try changing a drunk persons mind? Doesn't happen very often.

damn right, never can change a drunk persons mind......

I'm going to go out on a limb here and venture to say anyone who supports keeping marijuana legal has never a) tried it or b) been around someone who is under the influence of marijuana (one or both). If you have you'd know how harmless it really is compared to alcohol which is already legal.
Whoever it was that wanted the "bads" of marijuana..
- smoke inhalation isn't good for you, irritates your lungs. Nobody (from my research or that i've heard of) has died directly from cancer due to marijuana. The only problem with this is that many marijuana smokers also smoke cigarettes which ARE known to cause lung cancer...
- Driving High, while somewhat easier than driving drunk, is still extremely dangerous. Your depth perception sucks and overall you should NOT be behind the wheel at all
- Prolonged usage can cloud your memory. The effects aren't permanent though and recreational users don't really succumb to the los of memory. Any heavy smoker that quits will get their memory back within the year.
Now lets look at alcohol:
Possible to overdose, kills your entire body over time but especially your liver/kidneysTobacco:
Addictive, causes lung cancer and other health issuesMarijuana really have any bad side effects that any legal drug/product doesn't also have, definitely nothing worse.
