yeh ill bet, im willing to bet everyone here who wants it legalized is a pot head. No it absolutely should not be legalized and yes it is worse for you than alcohol and ciggerattes.
Your opinion is heard. Now please refrain from calling people names. Or make uneducated angry guesses. Should you have read the thread from the beginning you would see that some people don't smoke it and yet want it legalized. Who pissed on your cereal? :blink:

"This is a remarkable statement. First, the record on marijuana encompasses 5,000 years of human experience. Second, marijuana is now used daily by enormous numbers of people throughout the world. Estimates suggest that from twenty million to fifty million Americans routinely, albeit illegally, smoke marijuana without the benefit of direct medical supervision. Yet, despite this long history of use and the extraordinarily high numbers of social smokers, there are simply no credible medical reports to suggest that consuming marijuana has caused a single death."
"By contrast aspirin, a commonly used, over-the-counter medicine, causes hundreds of deaths each year."
