Is it possible to find now a stronger weed than some years ago? Yes, definitively. I've tasted things coming from Holland which were hallucinating (no pun intended :) ). The question is, is this weed more dangerous? Hum, I don't think so. Is whisky more dangerous than beer? Hard to say if you don't mention the associated quantity... Is weed harmless? No, of course. If it doesn't create any physical dependencies, it may "create" a psychological one (and IMO then weed isn't the main factor, somebody with such an addiction would have found another product if it wasn't weed). Moreover, some people are much more sensitive to THC, and may develop psychological failures, as paranoïa and schizophrenia. Sadly, because of the politization of the subject, it's hard to find a scientific, non partisan study on this. Nonetheless, I don't believe prohibition is the solution. Look at France, for example: we have the thougher laws against the use of cannabis in all Europe, and we have also the higher proportion of young people smoking marijuana...go figure! The product has side effects, but seems to me much less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco, both legal products. That's why I am for the legalization, that is the definition of a legal frame to the consumption of hemp, something different from depenalization. Young people must be protected, because they don't have experience enough to control the use of weed and its consequences. It would remove a lot of money from a criminal business, provide a new source of money for the government, and enable a control of the quality of the product (you can't imagine what you can find in a bar of cannabis :mad: )

Crack is a drug that should definately remain illegal, but to answer your questions: What the legal system has to do with it is the fact that s/he is spending all their money/turning to crime because of the high price of the drug, which in turn, is caused by the fact that it's sold illegally by people looking to make the highest possible profit, and to cover the costs of AK-47's, etc. Gary Kirkham wrote: If an addict turns to other forms of crime just to support his habit it could hardly be called victimless.

Gary Kirkham wrote: What about children who are forced to live in hunger and squalor because mamma can't afford food and is too high to care. That happens with alcohol today. So again, any problem that can be brought up, can equally be applied to currently legal drugs.

I`m SO there wrote: Hmm, that's a decidedly unright-wing thing to say. Interesting how your views flip-flop back and forth based on what people are talking about. Huh?!? Since when do "right-wing" people not care about others. We may have a different view on what is the proper thing to do in certain situations, but that doesn't mean we care any less. How are my views flip flopping? When I have I ever said that we should not look after people? I take personal offence at you accusing me of flip flopping. My sig has had the "power for good" quote for a long time. Part of that is to look after other people. Something that I take very seriously. Being opposed to drug use is part of that stance.

In a word - bullshit. many years ago, back when just having 1 joint could get you 5-10 years in the pen, I was attending a pretty well known school out on the left coast. Back in those halcyon days there was some fine dope around campus - I mean fine. I was holding down 2 jobs and carrying 15 hours and was known, from time to time, to imbibe rather freely and it was in basically the same spirit as a keg party. From my circle of friends there at that time several are at NASA and two are at JPL. One is a fellow at Cal Tech. In other words - it did not rot our brains - make us into zombies - stifle our intellectual curiousity.

I was asked to join mensa (but didn't want to pay a fee), score in the 150's on IQ tests generally, etc. Like I said, not trying to brag, just reinforcing your point. It didn't do a damned thing to my brain, and I smoked regularly for about 4-5 years or so.
