    15 MILLION Americans use it. 150 MILLION Americans have tried it at least once, including the last three President's even though Clinton said he didn't inhale. In MODERATION pot is harmless. Please show me a study that shows otherwise. I will concede that if you have mental issues you should not smoke pot. No shit. But if you are normal and healthy, smoking pot in MODERATION is harmless. If you smoke dope all day long then you are always stoned so of course you are going to have issues. Yes, all drugs should be legal. I'm glad you like to throw people in jail who want to do things you don't agree with. But personally, I feel people should be free enough to do what they want as long as they are not harming anyone else. BTW, marijuana WILL become legal. You are on the wrong side of history.

    oh moderation, lol a recreational drug taken in moderation - legalise it and you head towards what alcohol is now, and marijuana is a lot worse than booze. medical investigation has shown that marijuana is actually worse than tobacco for producing cancer and think of the efforts being taken to stop smoking (do you think for a second that if smoking was illeagal they would make it legal) it has also been shown in clinical trials that either marijuana causes a significant deteriation of mental heath or agravates undetected mental heath problems if this was to be proscribed by doctors it would require carefull mointoring and health checks - and you avocate allowing anyone access. the problem with most things is that those who shouldnt are those exact people most likely to, the problems with pot are such that no self respecting govenment will consider its safe (those that have ie holland are starting to revise thier oppinions due to the eact problems highlighted) also pot is drug the brain becomes used to, so to maintain the high you need to a, smoke in moderation or b increase the intake the problem is then that the stronger strains lead to further problems and often to the use of stronger drugs. as for the legalise all drugs - well you are welcome to that world

    Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

      WRONG. Fact: There is no convincing scientific evidence that marijuana causes psychological damage or mental illness in either teenagers or adults. Some marijuana users experience psychological distress following marijuana ingestion, which may include feelings of panic, anxiety, and paranoia. Such experiences can be frightening, but the effects are temporary You have obviously never tried it and you have your facts completely wrong. You are probably just a troll. Nobody can believe the nonsense you are posting.

        You don't need to smoke dope (or anything else) to understand the facts about the damage it can do.

          http://www.nida.nih.gov/researchreports/marijuana/Marijuana3.html would seem to disagree and that was just the first search result there is a lot of evidence either way but at present there seems to be more pointing to there being issues. but you are like a lot of your ilk - blind to any voice that disagrees and why would you think i havent tried it? this is another of your blind assumptions - because i disagree with your premise that its completely harmless (and the orginal one that nott was unfairly dismissed) that means that i am against its use, it just shows how biased and narrow minded you are
