Alcohol has to be manufactured in some form.


Let juice sit out.. its fermented. tada.. albeit, it ain't the greatest tasting stuff on earth, but it is natural, too..

The health affects from alcohol are MUCH greater than MJ. You can get liver disease, pancreas problem, brain problems, and even heart problems to name a few.

There are NO links of MJ causing cancer, http://www.webmd.com/content/article/23/1728_57309



I can't catch any of those things from shooting anyone, either.. but trying to justify that IT should be okay, is as ludacris as comparing weed and ciggarettes (simply because they are both smokeable, or held in the hand, or what?) You guys keep talking about how weed can be inhaled and not burned... well.. that removes your cig:weed correlation, so stop using it for a comparison. if you aren't gonna leave them the same, they aren't the same.. simple as that. You guys won't "allow" a comparison of an SRT-4 to a v8 cobra, because its "apples and oranges" then so is this. either you smoke both, or you don't, in which case weed is MORE harmful than a cigarette (none of that.. well I don't smoke as many joints as cigarettes, crap.. how MANY you CHOOSE to smoke doesn't make the single ONE any less dangerous...)

MJ should be legalized. It can be regulated and taxed just like alcohol and cigarettes (both my parents died of Lung Cancer and my mother-in-law is in the hospital as I type this with pulmonary (sp?) problem. All of them have smoked for over 50 years.

Then, personally, I don't understand the reasoning behind wanting to ALLOW ANOTHER (that's all it is, really) form of trouble... albeit not cancer..)

Plus Cigs are NASTY, they make your clothes, house, car, breath, and everything just NASTY. Ever clean a house that had a smoker living in it? How about when you go out to the bar and you smell your clothes the next day. NASTY.


Personally, so is weed.. I can't stand the smell. I can always tell when someone around me either just smoked it, or IS smoking it. Their house stinks, they stink... Its like being in a night-club.. only at home. gross..


Again.. a grain of salt.. just a few observations of peoples "reasonings".. Forgive the incoherent ramblings if there are any, I tried to punctuate the entire thing as I was going.. so I may have some EXTRA parenthesis, or something in there.


EDIT: I don't want people to jump to any conclusions... I would be jumping anyone else's "reasonings" if they were off, too... If the anti-weed people were saying that cigs were harmless, comparatively speaking, etc, I would re-quote them, and find the irregularities in that, too.. Its just what I do... nothing personal, or of any particular persuation.
