What most here are too young to know is that many years ago...under the auspices of one J. Edgar Hoover...the FBI conducted an extensive study regarding the usage of drugs and it revealed that something like 80% of the major drug users started out smoking 'weed'!!
no they started with alcohol....they leave out that lil fact cause they know they cant outlaw alcohol cause that dont work......your telling me 80% of hard drug users smoked pot before ever having a beer? thats just idiotic thinking....i really cant understand why it shoots over peoples head that alcohol is a drug the same as any other intoxicant....it gives you a "high" and all things considered coming from someone thats had alcohol pot and medically prescribed opiates, beer is alot closer to opiates than it is pot as far as dangers ect....
Hmmmm...what 'grade' are you smoking these days??
high end medical grade but i dont smoke, my lungs have enough issues from a life time of asthma for me to smoke....

Considering what we now know about J. Edgar Hoover, I wouldn't give much credibility to anything that he was involved in.
I agree, some folks here don't like change. They like the same old thing garnering the same old results, dadgummit.
One measure of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. But, we keep pumping billions of dollars into it- your taxes. A sane, rational country would have changed course years ago. But the knee jerk lock em up and throw away the key like from many here. How's that been working out the last 90 years?

I believe that to be true, just like I would bet 99% of all bank robbers started out with shoplifting or another petty offense, then moved on to a bigger crime. I guess we should put people away for 10 years for shoplifting, heck it's keeping bank robbers off the street!
as many have said, those who are chasing the high will follow it. the amount of self control they use and which drugs they use aren't dictated by laws. if they were pot wouldn't be a "problem" now filling up the prisons.
Pot is the only drug you don't have to refine, and you can grow it anywhere. no way if could have been stopped from the beginning
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
Like Charles Krauthammer said, the effects of marijuana on the human body are benign compared to the effects of alcohol...the problem is that is makes people stupid and think they're smart.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
Does alcohol make people stupid and think they're smart?
If not, then all this time our stereotypical introduction for describing insanely stupid activity has been wrong - "hey, hold my beer and watch this!"
Once again, the issue is not one of "marijuana is good." People keep trying to put those words into the mouths of those in favor of legalizing it since that is a really easy argument to refute.
Drugs are drugs are drugs. None of them are "good" except in narrow circumstances and very moderate use.
But making them illegal has FAR more adverse effects on society as a whole than the individual effects on those who consume them voluntarily and even the secondary effects on society of those who voluntarily abuse them.
Drugs are NOT good.
Criminalizing them is MUCH worse.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
