pot and marijuana are the same thing. 1. marijauna isn't addictive. normal people don't "steal or kill for it" 2. ever see those old hippies. they're fine cause pot doesn't kill you 3. ur an idiot

i would deffinetly have to agree somewhat with both sides of this issue yes marijuana can dullen senses or contribute to lung cancer but the harmful effects of alcohol and ciggarettes does what marijuana does times 10...thats what i dont seem to understand, if you can legalize ciggarettes and alcohol why cant you legalize a substance that is far less harmful than them...If anyone can intelegently anwser this question then i will be amazed...its like saying make oxycontin an "over the counter" drug and prohibiting vicodan

i smoke marijuana on a regular basis and am very active. i also have great grades (i.e. 4 a's and 1 b). marijuana and other naturally occuring drugs like cyclobin mushrooms are very mind opening and rewarding when taken. your opinoins are a product of being brainwashed by your dare teacher, the government, your parents, and all of the anti-marijuana organizations out there. not having experienced either of the mentioned drugs i do not expect u to understand, nor change ur opinion, but please do some research and thinking for yourself.

the country u live in has legalized both alcohol and tobacco which are both proven to kill you (alcohol can kill u in a matter of hours if u ingest too much), so why bash marijuana? it DOESNT impair your vision, you could never die in one night from marijuana (you would pass out or fall asleep long before you died), and it is proven to have medicinal purposes. did u know the state u live in passed proposition 200 a while back which stated that you can be "perscribed" any Scheduale I controlled substance which includes but is not limited to: cyclobin mushrooms, LSD, Marijuana, and herione.
