It is interesting that no one ever mentions how buying marijuana is aiding in racketeering and vicariously particpating in the Mexicon drug wars. I know you'll think I am asking this because of my profession. But my interest is deeper.

Well put. I guess the war on drugs is failing because pot smoking is so damn important to a segment of the population, that being a criminal is justifiable.

This is one of the biggest topics in the media concerning Mexico.

-> it's even a cure for ADHD

not compared to alcohol or tobacco it isn't ...not even close
ask any policeman....who has dealt with drunks...

the only reason it's detrimental to society is because of
Government installed prohibition
same as when alcohol was prohibited..... it created violence...

it should be as free as a fish in the sea or a bird in the air...
it has more health benefits than any other herb on the planet.

it's mind control NEBE - they want you on their medications!

politicians are paid to make it illegal so they can keep us all medicated
with friggan suicide drugs ..... they ALL suck

Even JESUS Christ used cannabis to cure people ....he endorsed it.

When I really have to buckle down and get a ton of work done, I take a preworkout powder mixed with some water. Kind of like a legal Adderal. There is no way in hell that it'd be safe for anything more than occasional, let alone daily use... but, that's legal and $25 for 40 servings. I can only take half a serving, a full one makes my heart feel like it'll explode. I also use it in emergency situations where I'm having trouble staying awake while driving home from overnight trips to the Ditch.

The point to the above is that there just doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to how drugs are scheduled. Tons of studies exist that demonstrate weed far, far down the list of dangerous substances than cigarettes or alcohol. The marketing of Pot as a gateway drug and consistent government propaganda has instilled so much misinformation that some of the most ridiculous claims are widely accepted as fact. Where as on the other hand, I can go to my local GNC, drop $25 on the counter and have a substance that causes an almost immediate elevation of blood pressure, heart rate and would probably kill anyone with any heart condition.
