Well, when you smoke marijuana you can't be a little high, or extremely high. What I mean is, when you drink alchohol you can drink and NOT get drunk, but with marijuana, you either get high, or nothing else. Also there are no dangerous effects to drinking alchohol in moderation, but since when is marijuana healthy?? Also you can't be addicted to alchohol, but you can be addicted to be drunk, you can drink without getting drunk though. Also marijuana is highly addictive to many ppl, and there is no 'safe' amount of marijuana! Jesus made wine, but when did he ever get high?

My brother is a pothead. in fact he is going to CADS right now, he gets done in about a month. marijuana shouldn't be legalized because it is a gateway drug. Not everyone who smokes pot always does other things, but there is still that percentage that does do more then just pot, sometimes very dangerous things. My brother was getting close to addiction of cocaine before i stopped him. he got cocaine from his pot dealer. If marijuana isn't illegal people will feel more inclined to start a drug dealing business.

how exactly is jesus a historical fact? do you have photographic biological or physical evidence or anyone who has met him? no he's just in a book you could easily look at macbeth and say boy, that guy seems real so he must of existed. there is no proof wiether he existed in flesh or not, yes its a fact he existed in print but there is no proof he existed as a living breathing man or woman named jesus whom lived in israel 2000+years ago. and we seem to be going abit offtopic considering christian belief has nothing to do with marijuana.

Uh... Have you taken history classes at all? They go into very extreme detail about Jesus and his disciples, and other records, other than the Bible and other religious books, they recorded his existence during Roman times.

records from that far back are sketchy at best and yes ive taken history classes which are oriented towards civilizations,great empires,and royalties i havent taken any religious history classes for a simple reason i dont know if god exists or not and in my opinion no one who has ever lived or is currently living has ever had/has definitive proof he exists.

Heres the bottom Line. Marijuana (I will call it weed and pot and other common names for ease of typing purposes, just hurt my hand recently) causes no serious physical problems. This has been proven, this is true, and this is a definate fact. Now, most of you know that ciggarettes cause so many deaths in this world, that its just plain rediculous. I now ask, why is Pot illegal, and why are Ciggarettes Legal? Pot is just another thing you smoke, and it just happens to be fun while youre smoking it. People say that "Weed is addicting." Woah, hold up. Weed can be addicting... But so can eating crayons. People need to distinguish the difference between a mental addiction and a physical addiction. Physical addiction is something that you physically end up needing over times of use. (IE- Nicotine, Ciggarettes, Alcoholicism, Heroin, and Cocaine.) However, a Mental addiction is something that is much less controlling, and the plain fact is, you can be mentally addicted to anything.... And that means, [u]anything.[/u] There was this one news story about a woman who (and by the way, this woman was a mother of three, and a totally respectable individual, just like you and me.) became addicted to eating crayons (In all seriousness, I beleive that she liked Crayola better than Rosa.) I myself, as a very young child, was addicted to eating the Powder of Hot Cocoa mix. Also, people call weed the familiar name of "Gateway Drug". This is based upon the common fallacy of "Post hoc Ergo Propter Hoc." - Immediately meaning, "After this, therefore Because of this." Its one of the most common misconceptions on the planet. " Most people who shoot up heroin once smoked pot." True, but even more drink milk when they are a child. Besides, if you look at it the other way around, a very low percentage of people who at one time or another smoked pot shoot up heroin at a later time. Legalize Marijuana, it helps increase economical flow, (adding an entire market to the already elaborate economy) Legalize Marjuana, it will reduce the crime rate. (Both for people who get arrested for weed, and for other crimes.) Legalize Marijuana, it will generally approve the public's approval for the government and what it is doing. Legalize Marijuana, even if it means setting a general age requirement like the one for Alcohol and Ciggarettes.

At least three recent studies have demonstrated that heavy pot smokers who quit can experience such withdrawal symptoms as anxiety, difficulty sleeping and stomach pain. On the other hand, the risk of becoming dependent on marijuana is comparatively low. Just 9% of those who have used the drug develop dependence.

As i've stated before it's better to not add another legal drug as the few we already have cause enough havok lol. of course if marijuana was legal it probably wouldn't effect me too much since i dont smoke and have irritability to smoke which causes me mild breathing problems so there isnt really any smoking done inside my house wanna smoke go outside or atleast in your own room with door closed and window open =P.
