Again, people just discount the legal drugs, so their starting point is going to be traced to the first illegal one on the list.

Yep. And I can walk into any drug store and buy any over the counter drug, take a crap load of it, and potentially overdose and die.. but hey... that's OK... they're legal! I can't name one instance where someone overdosed from smoking too much pot!


P.S. I drink coffee too. Coffee and a cigarette... the breakfast of champions!

It always amazes me how some people just have blind faith in whatever "authority figures" tell them is right or wrong. It's like they were born with no sense of logic or reason. It is what it is because some book says it is that way…and thats just the way it is.


…But I guess that is what all religion is based on too.

(Wait...did I just say that out loud?)

Hey, I'm a person of faith myself, but you'd be crazy to not think that a lot of the rules in organized religion are man made to suit those in power's agenda! So I too have issues with some aspects of organized religion, because those in charge can and are at times corrupted, and twist God's word to suit their agenda. Happens on C-D all of the time if you haven't noticed.

But I digress... and not to deviate too much from the topic... but I try and take everything in life case by case, and use my God given free will to sift through the bull****!!! In this instance, it's complete and utter bull**** to say that cannabis is a "gateway drug" when I know for a FACT there are many people I know (including myself) who have never tried nor had an interest in anything else.

Every single person who uses hard drugs also drink water. Sounds like drinking water leads to hard drug use

The obvious answer if no, water is not an intoxicant.

No. Narcotics are opiate based. Only the sheep who swallow the propaganda that they've been spoon fed all of their lives lump cannabis in with, and consider it a narcotic.
