Honestly am I the only one who perceives weed as a threat to ones self? Is there not a single ounce of you that thinks weed can be harmful in the wrong hands?<br />

If its so safe than maybe we should start getting our kids high. Hell why should they miss out on something so magical. <img src="https://www.rollitup.org/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Roll Eyes" smilieid="7" class="inlineimg" />

Kind of short on time, want to read more of my book before bed, so I'm I'm not going to address anything you've said, except for the above two things.
Weed, harmful in the wrong hands? Lord have mercy. Do you realize what you just asked?
I could rattle off a huge list of the things that are currently legal, and will NEVER become illegal that are a lot more harmful than weed in the wrong hands, but it would exceed the character limit.
Most of us here can agree (I hope) that certain things should be illegal for minors. That would include marijuana use. But when it comes to adults, tell me. Who is fit, both morally and intellectually, to determine which hands are the wrong hands? As a grown and educated Christian woman, I can tell you with certainty that I have never met nor do I know of any living human being that should have that authority.
It is just downright arrogant to presume that you, or Bob, or Jill, or even Uncle Sam should have the right to decide whether or not an adult should be allowed to grow or use marijuana. Should I have the right to say that you can't drink vodka, or watch Oprah Winfrey? (Both
infinitely more harmful than marijuana, I assure you.)
Alcohol is definitely worse on the body than marijuana. But what makes you think that any of us would want to encourage children to use any mood altering substance for fun? There is a such thing as psychological addiction, and while most of the folks I know who use marijuana aren't psychologically addicted, I would not deny that 1 or 2 are. Heavy [marijuana] smokers experience decreased lung capacity, as I've said. The high can be distracting when you're trying to do algebra homework. The stuff being illegal means that you may have to deal with bad people sometimes to get it. Posessing it means that you can be arrested in many states. Using it means that you won't pass a drug test, making it hard to get even $7.00 hour jobs in some places. Do you think that the proponents of legalization don't know this stuff?
I mean, honestly, do you really think that we want to give joints to our kids, just because we support legalization? C'mon.
I would no more encourage kids to smoke pot than I would encourage them to play football. The weed would definitely be safer, though. Considering that, when is football going to be banned already? LOL (just kidding, fellas)
I wish you peace. But we's grown folks. Aight?
