you guys should all be ashamed on both sides.

those of you on the super legalization liberal side, look at what marijuana really does.... not much, but still... don't pretend that it doesn't have any negative effects, i can promise you inhaling any type of smoke is not good for you. don't trick yourself into thinking you're becoming "closer to god"(thats what mushrooms are for.)don't call marijuana medicine if the real reason you smoke it is to get stoned, you like to be stoned! so what?!

those of you on the opposite side with the gateway drug viewpoint, wake the fuck up. alcohol? nicotine? ever hear of these drugs our society rams down our children's throats every day? do you actually think more people try marijuana before they try alcohol or nicotine? do you think these may not be gateway drugs in and of themselves? don't get into semantics with me on it either; they're drugs plain and simple. you use alcohol and nicotine, it doesn't kill you so, you're more likely to use pot, you say "hey this stuff isn't so bad, i'll try pot" then you try pot and you say "oh this is even better than alcohol and nicotine! it doesn't give you hangovers, make you throw up, give you headaches, make you crash cars, make you rape people, make you get into fights, or make you walk funny, or kill you, or taste like an ashtray"

then you do harder drugs thinking maybe they wont be so bad either, but they are, and you get addicted. and die. and it sucks.
