With recreational use legalized in 9 states, there will eventually be a test case with the discrepancy between some states and federal law.

If they have to use harmless plants to put someone away they need to do a better job

Make it a major crime. 25 to life..

It's Not6 a Harmless plane. We will likely loose a generation of people or more to it's use. If it can be used medicinally then fine but not for recreation. It will lead to hard drug use and we have the evidence to prove it.

No. Reverse correlation. Lots of losers in this generation who also happen to use pot. Its also not a gateway drug. Anyone who uses drugs started somewhere and its usually the cheapest most common one.
Lots of people scared of a plant. I am Too busy worrying about schit that's worth worrying about.

Heroin comes from plants too. No it doesn't. Opium does. Opium, from poppy seeds, contains several opioid compounds, including morphine and codeine. Morphine is extracted from opium using diluted acid. Reacting morphine with other acids creates heroin. Essentially, heroin is morphine with a small chemical compound added to it.

I think the biggest reason it might be a gateway drug is because it is lumped in with drugs much more severe.
Kids hear it in the same sentence with heroin and meth. DONT DO IT! IT WILL KILL YOU! Then they smoke pot for the first time and realize it is less intoxicating than alcohol.... they probably assume people were exaggerating about the hard drugs as well.

That's a good point but I do believe that kids are smarter than that to understand that hard drugs are just that: hard on your body and hard to impossible to stop once use quickly becomes abuse. Back in the day when drugs were made illegal, I have heard that pot was lumped into the same category as the really hard drugs so the blacks would not use it as they often had or wanted sex with white women when they did. That seems far fetched but I believe there is more truth to it than not.

"That's a good point but I do believe that kids are smarter than that to understand that hard drugs are just that"
They're not that smart but learned long ago that pot wasn't isn't as harmful as alcohol and nicotine. Pot also isn't addictive like alcohol and nicotine. I have Grandkids in high school. Do you? The local high schools have regular visits from local drug dealers all the time. The dealers can't come on school property so they just park nearby and let the kids come to them. The local cops and the school administrators are aware of the dealers. The female Principal at my Grandson's high school has instructed the kids to report any kids they see talking to one of the known drug dealers. The kids that get reported are suspended from school but nothing happens to the drug dealers.

Morphine is extracted from opium using diluted acid. Reacting morphine with other acids creates heroin. Essentially, heroin is morphine with a small chemical compound added to it. Double talk. So heroin is made from morphine that is extracted from opium that comes from poppy seeds that come from a plant but heroin doesn't come from a plant. Are you related to Bill Clinton.
