Marijuana actually worsen asthma.
Marijuana actually makes you fatter.

I am not saying it is for everyone. I just want to know why it is still illegal...they have no proof that it has any side effects.

People already have discuss this, you just do a simple search and find out that it actually does damage to brain tissue.
Also you can search for plenty other research done on the subject.

It doesn not deteriate the brain like on poster made it sound.

How do you know, if you don't read the actual research done.

Please give me proof of why it is bad...I have looked it up and the only thing that I can see the reason for it being illegal is that the government could not control the sale of it...heck they cant even control it now.

I guess you dont know how to do a real search.
Here you have a small list:
BBC NEWS | Health | Cannabis smoke 'has more toxins' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7150274.stm - broken link)

Cannabis bigger cancer risk than cigarettes: study | Health | Reuters

Prospective cohort study of cannabis use, predisposition for psychosis, and psychotic symptoms in young people

Wiley InterScience :: Session Cookies

And finally here you have the Brain one
SpringerLink - Journal Article

Also you should know that one of them say that actually worsen anxiety.

We need to realize that prohabition in any form is bad. If it wasnt for prohabition there would be very little crime associated with it.

So prohibition of murder, rape is bad?

How many fatal car crashes have occured from people driving while under the influance of Marijuana?

Plenty, look it up. I am tired of searching for your question.

How many violent crimes have been recorded from the use of Marijuana?
How many deaths have occured from overdose?

Plenty of crimes, overdose extremely little.

Smoking pot is healthier than smoking a cig or drinking a beer.

One of the research I just posted say that marijuana has more chemicals and toxin compared to cigarettes. I guess you need to get educated on the subject better.

The reason for the sleeping pills...I am not a small guy..and one does nothing but make me irritable.

My cholestoral is not good, but that is due to my previous diet...

The thing is I stopped taking those scripts and now do nothing but Pot. I do not do it for recreation...purely medicinal. I do not see it as a fun thing to do just to get a high...if I wanted that I would drink a beer or 12..lol

If you are a big person you don't need another medication you just need higher dose.
Marijuana is not going to help you in cholesterol or asthma.

Yes it really works, and to add things is actually a "Natural substance", is a normal hormone in your body, and this hormone works wonders for many things (including but not limited to asthma).

[fractured_kidult]

Odd that all those studies are done by pharmaceutical companies and government ran research labs.

Any time you smoke anything...it is bad for you...i would like to see them link the eating or using a vaporizer to anything bad.

THC The main active ingredient in Pot is a micro inhalant and lasts longer than any inhaler...look it up.

I have never had anxiety attacks from pot.

Pot does not cause obesity...yes it causes cravings...but so does eating certain foods...

McDonald causes people to be fat...I dont see that becoming illegal...

prohibition on a substance is bad.

The only crimes committed by those that have consumed pot is the act of selling and consuming pot...I have never heard of or seen in my searches of a case where a man came home smoked a joint and beat his kids..I have however seen that with alcohol.

Plenty, look it up. I am tired of searching for your question.

Really...I looked it up and found not one case.

There is not one case of overdoes resulting in a human from Marijuana.

the problem seems to be smoking...its odd that they say that pot causes brain damage when they are treating brain tumors with pure THC they have also started seeing results in other treatments with pure THC...these studies are being done by actual Doctors that are not controlled by government funding or pharmaceutical backing...there studies are infact mostly illegal because they do not get the weed from the government. Talk about a controlled substance.

Pharmaceutical would love to have marijuana legal so that they can sell it.
And I see that you didnt even read them.

SpringerLink - Journal Article
Acute and Non-acute effects of cannabis on Brain functioning and Neuropsychological Performance
Department of Psychiatry, University of Illinois, Chicago
where is the pharmaceutical company here??

Non of them are from pharmaceutical companies, and non are from the government. I suggest you read them, since is clear you didn't.

Any time you smoke anything...it is bad for you...i would like to see them link the eating or using a vaporizer to anything bad.

They have already.

THC The main active ingredient in Pot is a micro inhalant and lasts longer than any inhaler...look it up.

marijuana is a lot more then just THC, also the active ingredient doesn't help to your asthma.

I have never had anxiety attacks from pot.

Now you have, read the research.

Pot does not cause obesity...yes it causes cravings...but so does eating certain foods...

I really dont know what you are talking about, one of the uses for marijuana is for weight gain in older people.
You should read this research

McDonald causes people to be fat...I dont see that becoming illegal...

Marijuana is not illegal because it makes you fat, so I dont get this comment.

prohibition on a substance is bad.

So crack, and other strong drugs should be legal also?
What about TNT or high explosive like C4, should everybody have access to this substance also?

The only crimes committed by those that have consumed pot is the act of selling and consuming pot...I have never heard of or seen in my searches of a case where a man came home smoked a joint and beat his kids..I have however seen that with alcohol.

Marijuana Raises Risk of Fatal Car Crash

Alcohol & Drug Abuse - Philadelphia Trucking Accident Lawyers, Commercial Drivers License, CDL
"In a 1990 report, the National Transportation Safety Board studied 182 fatal truck accidents. It found that 12.5% of the accidents were caused by drivers using marijuana."

"A New England Journal of Medicine report on drivers without alcohol in their systems who were stopped by police for reckless driving found that 45% had marijuana and 25% had cocaine in their systems."

There is not one case of overdoes resulting in a human from Marijuana.

At the moment there is no confirm death of overdose.

the problem seems to be smoking...its odd that they say that pot causes brain damage when they are treating brain tumors with pure THC they have also started seeing results in other treatments with pure THC...

I think you are misinformed, they dont treat brain tumors with THC, they do use THC for other reason in cancer, increase appetite and reduce nausea.

these studies are being done by actual Doctors that are not controlled by government funding or pharmaceutical backing...there studies are infact mostly illegal because they do not get the weed from the government. Talk about a controlled substance.

Where is the link of this actual doctors.

THC should never be OTC, and should only be by prescription.
