Hi Jamez :)
Well I can't agree with you here. First off there are medical uses for
marijuana. The relief it offers to cancer patients and those with MS and
arthritis is unbelievable. And now some states are finally realizing
that there is a use for it where it can help people instead of just
taking it to get "high".
I don't think our government is always out to protect the people as you
say, sometimes they're out to protect themselves. Now I don't take any
drugs and I don't drink alcohol so I wasn't high/drunk when I came to my
conclusions, matterfact I don't like drugs, but I also am not blind and
realize there are benefits of some drugs. Marijuana is not addicting
physically, yet you could argue it's addicting mentally. I do suggest
you do a bit of research and you will find that yes marijuana does help
medical patients, not everyone is a druggie that uses it.
BTW alcohol causes more physical damage to a person and more deaths than
marijuana so why does the Gvt allow that to be legal if it's supposedly
out to protect us?
