1. Marijuana is comparable to nicotine and alcohol in the harm that it does.
2. The only thing that makes Marijuana a gateway drug is that it is illegal.
3. There are medical effects of Marijuana that we know off and we need to research further.

A person with sleep problems can either take prescription drugs or smoke MJ. I would recommend MJ over prescription sleeping drugs.

I've never smoked weed but from everybody I've talked to they said weed can be harmful. Depends on the weed and the smoker. Some people lose their minds and never fully recover from their trip. Some people just get fat and lazy. Some people don't experience any negative side effects. I was told not to do it. So I haven't.

Some people don't know what the hell they are talking about.

There's a world history of cannabis that lists every illicit human/cannabis interaction ever on Earth? Please show me where that book exists. Never knew people would document their use of illicit substances for the world to see, until now. Learn something new online everyday.

I disagree with number 1...that's laughable
no;2...
no:3 We don't need to research further...it's been done, we have live existing examples of people who've smoked mj for decades.
We already KNOW it cures and prevents cancer.
The only ones need to research it are the big pharmacautical companies, and the research would no doubt be about finding a way to control the weed and how you use it.
They already KNOW about it's amazing properties.

Troll harder.

I don't need to show you "the book", it's common sense to anyone that has experience with cannabis or access to google.

Instead of my trying to change your mind, how about YOU try to validate your point that there are people who have never been the same after consuming cannabis. Also, you don't go on a "trip" when you consume cannabis. Are you confusing cannabis with LSD?

I think they are because that was my first thought upon reading such a statement.

The term 'trip' is used when one does LSD, Mushrooms or other strong hallucinogenic substance.
When getting high from marijuana, the terms are high, stoned, or baked, mostly. I'm sure there are a plethora of regional terms.

I know a family members who spends a few hours daily in the bathroom smoking Marijuana. It's a waste of money and a complete waste of time. Smoking weed alters your brain in such a way that you become "open" to external influences.

Guess what this family member of mine complains about ? Hearing voices inside his head right after smoking.
