In fact, Jefferson, why is coffee legal?
Or for that matter, red cool-aid?
Refined sugar?
MSG?
Tampons?
Not to mention, diet pills, laxatives,
cigarettes, alcohol?
So let's legalize pot and then you can abstain from it, same as now...
And others who read the positive reports can make use of it.
OD | Why this response?
YOU are claiming that there's nothing damaging about pot. I'm responding by saying that for every report saying pot is fine, there's another report saying it's a gateway drug, and that there are all kinds of other problems it brings with it.
In other words, the verdict is still out. Also, let's not make believe that somebody like Hevusa - who has been a pot user for years and years (even though, mind you, it's NOT addictive) - is going to give an honest and unbiased report.
So go ahead and smoke pot if you want to. But I have to ask you - why are you wanting to smoke it at all? And do you think, as a mother of several children, that the risks are worth it?
I don't know what YOUR choice is. But for me, I simply don't NEED to smoke pot any more than I have reason to see if I can safely sunbathe out on the interstate. |
