Pot is addictive and makes people quite lazy. I never known a pothead that only smokes occasionally. It also causes anxiety for many people.
No, it is not addictive. Last year I smoked every day for 9 months. Then stopped for 4 months, not a single hit. I had some at the house the entire time. I went to friends houses, who offered me some, but I couldn't so I didn't.
Its been proven in study after study that there is no physical dependency (what people think of dependent, detox, withdrawls, the craving, etc).
It can be mentally addictive for about 10% of people who use it regularly, which is about 1% of the entire marijuana user population. Couple that with the fact that alcohol, caffine, nicotine, and other substances most people, or some people, may use, is far more addictive then marijuana mentally, kind of blows holes in the argument.
I smoke on the weekends, and some nights when I get home. I have a awesome management positions, just moved into the biggest house on the block, and my oldest son will be going to the best schools in town.
I work hard, but I play hard. If you cared to actually learn about things, you'd might realize that marijuana isn't any more harmful then most things accepted by society, that most people do.
Hell if you're worried about use going up, more people were drinking during prohibition of alcohol, then after it was legalized.
I do believe that pot should be decriminalized, but the same DUI/DWI laws should apply.
There are tens of thousands of young men and women in prison because of small amounts of pot.
That's just wrong.
That I can agree with. I favor decriminalization myself, but full legalization and control, like liquor, would keep it out of the hands of young people more often. And its easier to tax when its legal, not just decriminalized.
I haven't touched a drop of hard liquor in over 25 years. That stuff is like poison to me. But drink it if you want, just don't get behind the wheel.
I'm for full legalization of marijuana. Putting people in jail for smoking this plant as well as drug testing which is really marijuana testing is wrong.
Perhaps part of the reason the Feds don't want to legalize pot is that they know a lot of ailments would be helped with this plant, and the truly dangerous pharmaceutical business would lose it's grip.
