Non-smokers, do you believe smokers are treated wrongly? (Afghanistan, million, constitutional)

Few smokers smoke 60 a day. Most below 6.

Pot is banned in 90% countries in the world for good reasons.

What are those good reasons?

I was recently asked why it was illegal, and I couldn't really think of a good reason.

Because it has a severe effect on people 's neutral system. For example, some people cannot even walk after consuming a very smal amount of marijuana. People can still walk, drive, and swim after a few cigarettes.

Most of the smokers I know, smoke 2 or 3 packs a day.

This seems to disprove your theory.



AS for cannabis prohibition, the reason that is, is because of U.S. policy and the narco treaty.

I've never met anyone who smokes 60 either, as that poster suggested.

When I was in college, some students smoked, and they only took a few per say. I know that because some were my roommates. But they may not be considered adults .

That severe affect after a little pot would be rare. I don't smoke it but I know many who do.

Marijuana is banned in all "non-liberal" countries in the world, except for North Korea. Do not say it is only an American thing.

Oh try smoking pot when you work. Unless you are a musician let's see how your performance is affected.

There has never been a death attributed to pot. Many smokers die from cigarettes.

Data? Or just your imagination.

Excessively consuming ANYTHING can be bad. One can die if he drinks too much water.

I don't think I've met anyone who can't walk after a small amount. But I'll put that down as reason number one - can't walk properly.

I think smokers are treated unfairly in my country,nearly $30 a pack and another big tax increase on the way. It's just outright theft. Good to see black market tobacco thriving though. There are consequences for theft.
