Weed is NOT harmless.

The weed that was running around in the 60's is NOT your today's weed. It is MUCH, MUCH worse than alcohol.

The entire medical Marijuana thing is a scam.

Look all drugs should be legal. Weed is legal in Washington state. I really don't give a rip if YOU smoke weed as long as you DON'T drive under the influence.

But don't pretend that weed is harmless. It is NOT.

Actually it pretty much is, for adults at least.

Very true, today's weed is much more potent. That's a good thing since the same amount will last you longer.

Absolutely absurd and lacking factual knowledge of pharmacology, biology, physiology, as well as basic science and objective fact.

100% false. Many conditions are legitly aided by weed, the most widely accepted being childhood seizures. We've even legalized it for that here red states like GA. Why? The objective fact that children were suffering and weed could help was too much for even our supermajority R legislature and governor to ignore.

Ok, now we're finally getting somewhere. Thank you for bringing it back to a reasonable position.

There seems to be little evidence of marijuana use by mass murderers.

Might be the main push behind pot use.

We don't know for sure about GW Bush's use, though. He might just be a permanently potted person from earlier years of use. Raised by an evil family. He used alcohol to deaden those brain areas. Then he used religion to . . .

GW's use was probably an attempt to escape his family.

Very bad results for people using it to escape evil.

Not sure whether putting pot in Sherlock Holmes' pipe would have been a help beyond his tobacco use.

Is tobacco harmless for adults?? Weed is inhaled and there is enough evidence that it is WORSE than tobacco.

Yes, but it is NOT a good thing. How many people drink high alcohol drinks so they can stay drunk (high) longer?? Isn't it the same thing.

IF medical conditions are aided by weed.....limit sales of medical marijuana to products with NO THC. How do you think sales of medical marijuana would do under THOSE conditions.

It is your BODY. The government should have no business deciding what you can ingest. Even more important the government should no longer have the right to decide medical treatment for you.

BUT don't lie to yourself. Weed is a pretty awful drug, as is alcohol.

Drugs are awful. BUT, if you wish to indulge....have at it. I would like them to be priced very cheaply, so you can remove yourself from the gene pool at the earliest opportunity.

Stoners can justify their “need” for relaxation.

And I made it my business. If you have an issue with that, tough.
When you infringe on my right to self ownership it becomes my business.

It’s not awful in the least and people have used it for thousands of years just like alcohol.

It is less harmful to the body than alcohol when not smoked. Zero comparison.

I don't think pot is used for date raping.

Too much awareness to it.

It helps to grease the wheels of our criminal "justice" system and there has been a war on everything hemp-related for many decades now. Hemp products are superior to many alternatives but have been suppressed for a long time now because of the overarching narrative that all things hemp-related are "evil." Just more propaganda for the lemmings to gulp up.

Yes, weed was banned because of monied business interests opposed to hemp.
