You don't necessarily have to smoke marihuana. If you want to keep your lungs clean, you could use it to make tea, or soup. Some people even bake cakes with weed in it, the so called Spacecake. If it has the same effects for the headache is to be seen, but i wouldn't know why not.

The problem with legalizing marijuana is the lack of control. I tend to agree that alcohol and tobacco are certainly more destructive than marijuana, however, what's to stop somebody from lacing marijuana with cocaine, or crack, or meth?
Making marijuana legal would require it to be government controlled, thus taking it out of the hands of your street dealers. Now you're left with a lot of dealers with no income, so they move up to distributing cocaine, crack, meth, etc...

And despite it being legal (or being brooked, to be more accurate), our country has way less of a drug problem than some other countries in which the laws are extremely strict (say, for example, France). [ 09-23-2004, 04:47 PM: Message edited by: Grojlach ] |

I know about the Netherlands, and all the other countries which legalised it. I was talking about my own hole, and the majority of others where the politicians and laws are not so enlightened. That's what I was talking about by killing of the pushers, the fact that your country has a far smaller drug problem than most others.

Edit: I have friends who have been smoking for years without any side effects, so legalizing it wouldn't be a problem IMO, and medicinal usage could certainly be accepted. [ 09-23-2004, 05:21 PM: Message edited by: dplax ]

Hey, Johnny, tell me. Some people who I know in Europe that have visited Amsterdam say the locals really don't frequent hash bars very much, that it's really the tourists who go there. Is that true? Do many people over there use it?
Just curious as to what it's like in a legalized situation. |

I'm interested in hearing some of the arguments these experts had against legalising medicinal marijuana.
I can't really find a good reason not to, myself, so any insights on the other side of the debate would be welcome. |
