Here is my opinion-

I think they should legalize it, applying the same restrictions to it as alcohol or tobacco.
I think that by restricting us from using it, they are violating our constitutional right to the Persuit of Happiness.
AND whether it’s legal or not, people are going to continue to smoke it.
The only difference will be that they can tax it, and thousands of people in jail for weed will be free, HELPING TO SOLVE our overcrowded jail issue.
Contrary to myth, marijuana:
-Is not harmful to your health.
In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research editors of the British medical journal Lancet concluded that "the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to health."
-Does not cause brain cell loss.
("None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use.")
-Does not cause lung cancer. Nobody has ever gotten lung cancer from smoking marijuana alone.
(" Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke.")
-Does not alter your sober behavior or motivation.
("For twenty-five years, researchers have searched for a marijuana-induced amotivational syndrome and have failed to find it……Among working adults, marijuana users tend to earn higher wages than non-users. College students who use marijuana have the same grades as nonusers.")
-Does not cause crime or violent behavior.
(" Almost all human and animal studies show that marijuana decreases rather than increases aggression.")
-Is not a major cause of automobile accidents.
("There is no compelling evidence that marijuana contributes substantially to traffic accidents and fatalities. At some doses, marijuana affects perception and psychomotor performances- changes which could impair driving ability. However, in driving studies, marijuana produces little or no car-handling impairment- consistently less than produced by low moderate doses of alcohol and many legal medications…..The overall rate of highway accidents appears not to be significantly affected by marijuana’s widespread use in society.")
-Is not at all a gateway drug.
("Most marijuana users never use any other illegal drug. Indeed, for the large majority of people, marijuana is a terminus rather than a gateway drug.")
These are common myths invented by anti-weed activists.
Really, what is so bad about smoking if it causes no harm or negativity to the smoker or their surroundings?
It’s natural, it’s more then 4,000 years old, and God made it!
