And? How about smokers, boozers, the morbidly obese, all more likely to have health issues than tokers?

Future lung cancer for one... draining your bank account is another and supporting blood-thirsty drug cartels a third.


alcohol is physically addictive, weed is not. Do you have anything factual to base the bolded statement on or is reefer madness prevailing?

mental addictions have just as powerful a hold on people and many, many people are addicted to weed. You too, by the sound of it.


well, that's certainly a reason to make something illegal and keep jailing people for using it.

at least we agree about something.
