Cannabis makes people less susceptible to propaganda, they are harder to control, cannabis users are far more individualistic and follow the creativity of their own brain not the monotonous robotic opinions of the media, it is more difficult to influence cannabis users insider a formal hierarchical workplace environment. Thinking outside the box is dangerous.
This is why cannabis is illegal

What is wrong with you idoits? Our kids can hardly read or write as it is. If we were to legalize pot the States would stop their trade with us and we would all be broke with no money to buy your pot. Grow up dummies pot is not the answer to your life, it just slows you down from stupid to really dumb. Legalize pot and we will become a third world country in no time. Pot does not make you more creative, it just slows down time and makes you dumber and dumber.

Well..peaky...how do you know about the effects...personal experience perhaps...or are you just prejudiced? Idiots..hmmm. I guess you must be a real genius....Do you drink alcohol, smoke, eat saturated fats, preservatives, food colorings? The thing is peaky..that you have already drank the cool aid with your brainwashed response to a a natural, god made substance that appears to grow all over the planet. Do you think our creator made a mistake? Even if pot did make you stupid, who made you boss?

What is with the rant. Legalization has nothing to do with education(seriously reading/writing are not affected by pot). Nor would it effect trad, Please use real arguments otherwise you make yourself and all those that agree with you seem like idiots.

The rant is not ... ( 2 days ago by peakyone)

The rant is not really about pot, it is much more because of the silly global warmer rant that Elizebeth May goes on. Scientist are now telling us that without sun spots we can expect about 30 years of very cold weather.
Getting back to pot, I have had several friends that had quite a few problems with pot. Not everyone gets mellow, some get very hyper almost nuts. The other problem is that like cigerettes it causes lung cancer. I ran a resturant and I knew who smoked before they came in.

It is illegal because it is a gateway drug.
99.9% of heroin users first got high of marijuana.

it was made illegal, in the UK anyway, because the British government couldn't put a tax on the plant that just about grows everywhere, naturally. It is the same as sticking the fingers up at mother nature.

uhhh..... studies ... ( 2 days ago by QueenIsLove39)

uhhh..... studies consistently have shown that heavier drug users (i.e heroin, x, speed, coke, lsd) started off smoking cigarettes, so if anything, its nicotine that started them off, not marijuana. oh, and its called the gateway drug theory. its a theory. not a fact

StJDavis: ... ( 2 days ago by InebriateSoul)

StJDavis: Correlation is not causation. You will need to cite a more comprehensive scientific study. That number is probably BS anyway. Especially considering "high" is a quantitative word, and alcohol and cigarettes also get you "high" so marijuana was probably not first. Marijuana being illegal may lead to harder drug use, since MJ is not widely available, and many weed smokers likely hear from a dealer "I am out of weed, but you should try this..." Legal weed would eliminate weed dealers

My mistake, high is ... ( 2 days ago by InebriateSoul)

My mistake, high is a QUALITATIVE word. Also what I'm trying to say is that, if you call weed inherently a gateway drug, and alcohol affects judgement and inhibitions far more, you should support alcohol being illegal if gateway drugs should be illegal. What I am saying is that marijuana, which the public does not see as a dangerous drug, puts young people in contact with dangerous and addictive drugs by forcing them to deal with criminals to buy it, since it is unregulated.

stjdavis: The "gateway effect" is complete bullshit. If they did get their first high off of marijuana, it's because it's more easily obtained than heroin. You could tack the "gateway effect" argument onto any substance for any subject. For example: "Studies show that 100% of serial killers have consumed H2O at least once a week throughout their entire life. Therefore, H2O is a gateway substance that leads to murder. and should be made illegal."
