One thing that everyone is missing here: If you smoke weed every day for an extended period of time (say a few months), weed loses its euphoria-giving quality. In normal language, you can't get high if you smoke mary-jee-wana every day or so medically. How do I know? I read it in a book of essays by Paul Krassner, founder of the Yippie movement. One of his friends smokes (smoked?) weed for pain relief (I forget what he had), and said that he couldn't get high anynmore, and that he was a little sad because of this fact. So there you go, one more fact to debate.

well, yes, that's the reason that marijuana is labeled as a gateway drug. but when you think about it, with just dansville as an example, sam...WHY do people smoke pot here? what is it really about? youre friends with a lot of those stoners, that should be an easy one for you to answer. ponder that...

Well, I know people who've been constantly smoking since before I was born, and they can still get high from one joint...but I don't know, I'm not a pro...

I personally think it should be legalized, simply because it makes no sense to me that alcohol and tobacco are legal and weed is not. You get addicted to tobacco, but (for some strange reason) you don't get an addiction to weed. Besides, people that are high are less dangerous for themselves and others than those that are drunk. And the passive smoking is not that bad, I believe.

I say do what ever they like, but I don't want to run into all these high people on the road during rush hour. Or at any other time or place during the day.

You can get addicted to cannabis. Addiction is far more a psychological trait than the straight forward biological state of affairs that it is usually considered.

Also, I know a woman who had a stroke who has very bad pain in the half of her body which isnt paralyzed, and she has a green card.
But she said that most of the stuff you can get legally is super weak anyway.

medicaly it would help alot and i also think spiritualist groups should be given a permit to smoke it but i think it shouldnt be used recreationaly, most people it is safer than alcahole but there is alot of people who can have alot of issues with it that they dont dont even realise, like my friend who through he was driving on the road but he had actualy turned into a paddock gone right through the fence and ened up in some ones living room, he got out of the car with only a threw minor injuries luckily but so easily could of killed him self... you dont always know your self on it

Weed should be leaglized in general. I belive this because its similar to the issue of prohibition. Its a law that is broken by masses and our police force gets stuck dealing with these people that smoked a bit of weed rather than going for the hardcore junkies and other criminals. People call it a gateway drug, but I know more people that only smoke weed than ones that do harder drugs.

What gateway drug means is that it eventually leads to another, harder drug, it might not happen straight away but it will probz, sooner or later.
