I've spent most of the day reading this book this book . I must say it's an education. I've learnt more history today than I would have in weeks of school.
I would like to know what the other members of this forum think about this subject. I would be surprised if there were a significant fraction of the members against cannabis here. Why then, is it illegal? What kind of farcical parody of democracy are we living in?
(Although I'm from Ireland it doesn't really matter as it's illegal pretty much everywhere except Holland and Belgium)

Exactly what is this supposed to mean? I have tried it. You seem to imply that, having tried it, it should be clear to me why it is illegal. I still don't see why it should be illegal, Daryus. Actually, it is pretty clear to me that it shouldn't be illegal.

It should be illegal. So should ethanol and nicotine. And everything else that annoys me. Like spiders. Outlaw spiders. I can't stand them... *shudder*

I refuse to talk to weed. And drugs are baed. Having good judgement does not mean taking juuust enough drugs so as not to get addicted, good judgement means not taking them at all.

I don't know. I'm reconsidering my judgement on this issue.
Didja know Carl Sagan smoked it?
Personally, I think that it's not much more harmful than alcohol.
Then again, I think people who drive drunk should be punished a lot more harshly than they are.
Okay, you can use the stuff, provided you do it in moderation, alone, far from any heavy machinery. Or we'll kill you.

The thing is, the contacts you have to get the drug probably have other merchandise as well, and wouldn't be sad if you became a bigger customer.
It's more common for marijuana smokers to move on to other drugs than it is for alcoholics.
All the other stuff that's become famous, like GHB, really scares me. I mean, if you can be encouraged to at least try heroin or amphetamine once, it's not a huge step towards other drugs. And stuff like GHB can make you OD without warning, the symptoms can be very subtle. There are lots of kids, in sweden too, that have just gone into seizure and died after taking their regular sip, not even an increased dosage.

If anything, marijuana kills your ambition.
Every single last smoker-of-weed that I have ever met, was either dropping out of college, didn't care to get into college(or anything else for that matter) or was a 7th-year senior.

's true, the people I knew who smoked it and were still successful didn't smoke it with anything that could have been considered regularity... I mean like once or twice a year or so. Not daily or even weekly. Enough time for the body to recover.
