Medical Marijuana--

[innerSpaceman]

I must have missed the argument that marijuana is harmless. Rather, I think the argument goes more like it's so relatively harmless compared to legal drugs and all other illegal drugs that it's de facto harmless.

Eh, maybe I skimmed. But I think the harms have been laid out and admitted. Smoke of any kind is bad for your heart and lungs and other biology. Pot can be habit-forming. Pot can adversely affect your ability to handle a car or other heavy machinery, and thus be dangerous. Pot can make someone either lethargic or paranoid, depending on their individual reactions ... but those are not uncommon adverse reactions.

I think I've covered it. How many pages do you have for the list of harmful effects of tobacco, alcohol, crystal meth, heroin, cocaine, valium, vicodin, and on and on and on?



I don't think anyone's saying marijuana is harmless. But it's likely less harmful than milk.

The call Marajauna, weed, because it can be grown anywhere.

I just scrolled back a page and didn't review the entire thread. I believe there are other blanket statements which are profoundly ignorant.

I think pot should be legalized, but, really, to deny or dismiss the negative effects that smoking pot has on a person's mental and physical well being is just irresponsible.
