That's a pretty sweeping indictment. Got any evidence for it?
At the societal level, the by FAR largest destructive force related to MJ is the War on Drugs that has wasted $10s or $100s of billions, and ruined millions of lives, while enriching a few drug lords, in a futile battle to curtail usage that will never succeed because intelligent, responsible people have used it safely, without ill effects for generations now and so completely disregard the kind of fear mongering stated above.
I have Chrohn's disease. Cannabis has been proven to alleviate the pain from this disease. And it is far more effective than the dangerous steroid drugs that Doctors are quick to put you on. I have a milder case than others so I rarely consume cannabis, however it does work.
No person would deny anyone a medical need for someone genuinely in need. But the "medicinal" aspect of this is comical. You know 99.9999 percent of those buyers just wanted to get high.
Where do you get that info? Most people who use medicinal marijuana have a documented medical need to use it.
You know how hard it is to a get a "prescription" for oxycontin in Florida? About as hard as it was to get one for marijuana in San Francisco.

That doesn't even make sense.
Yeah, do you have evidence of those numbers? Regardless, why is it of anyone's concern? It's not my business if someone want's to get ripped on Jack or high on Maui Wowie. It alleviates many debilitating illnesses, so let those people use it for those reasons. Others want to get high, so let those people smoke up. It's much ado about nothing. Personally I don't like to smoke it. I prefer to make tea out of it and put it on pizza and in baked goods.
Wild abuse? Oh, those masses of people faking Chron's disease and cancer like a huckster faking a back injury, right, got it, carry on then...Not questioning you. Just pointing out the wild abuse of the system.

That reminds me of people faking illness during prohibition in order to have Doctors prescribe em' "medicinal alcohol" So what? Legalize it and let people use it for whatever reason they want or need.Henry, again, I'm not questioning you or anyone with legitimate conditions. I'm just saying a LOT of perfectly fine folks are suddenly in need of "pain medication". It's just not hard to get in many places.

Uhm, the OP ???
Did you read it ?

Who cares? It should be entirely legal to
anyone who wants it. Why not let people smoke it to get high if they want? We let people drink to get drunk if they want.
NO, it shouldn't be legalized.
My right to raise my Family in a Society not inundated with stoners is just as legitimate as some stoners wish go scramble their brains.
The distructive effects of drug use aren't isolated to just the user.
Can you understand that ?
Look I know addicts are VERY selfish individuals, and its nearly impossible for them to see any further than their immediate fix, but all the more reason not to placate to the losers of our society and poison the rest in the process

I'm measuring your "presonal testimony" against the study in the OP, not Erod.
And as a social worker for 10 years I likely have enough "personal testimony" to lap you and Erod many times over.
It's easy to get a prescription for weed. That's the point.
A social worker probably would. But then again, you would have skewed data, as I have also, since you're only in contact with a certain sector of society. The study in the OP was actually inconclusive because of small data size.
YES, it should absolutely be legalized. You already raise your family in a society inundated with stoners AND drunks, and drunks are much worse. The only difference if it is legal we won't waste tax dollars persecuting people for possessing and smoking a plant that is much less dangerous than hundreds of already legal substances. To argue for keeping it illegal is truly ignorant, and quite frankly idiotic.
Can you understand that?
Casual marijuana use linked with brain abnormalities, study finds | Fox News
Duh.
I laugh every time I hear from pot smokers that marijuana use is completely harmless compared to alcohol. No one can possibly believe marijuana is the least bit harmless.
I had a buddy in high school that was probably the brightest guy in our class, and he was extremely outgoing. He found pot, and within a year, he had no gleam in his eye. He became this blank, empty loner of a guy that I could hardly recognize.
It eats your brain, folks. Legal or not, it destroys who you are.
On a selfish note, it culls the herd for my kids, whom I'm confident find potheads to be as pathetic as I do.
