Refuse to drink ALCOHOL these days to remedy the first problem . . .
for some of the reasons you mentioned,
(stupid, loud, obnoxious behavior, quarrelsomeness, REAL loss of self-control, brain-cell death via dehydration, etc).

– - Cannabis,

(I prefer to call it by its botanical-name;
instead of the term ‘Marijuana’,
which was coined to simultaneously defame Hispanics and the herb as well),

has NONE of the drawbacks of alcohol,
(UNLESS it’s COMBINED with alcohol, of course!
And then the pot gets blamed for the ALCOHOL’s dangers).

– - The only valid reason I could see for cannabis, (‘Marijuana’), being compared or equated with hard-drugs is for the same reason one would associate ORANGE JUICE,
(‘Naranjo de Jugo’), with hard-liquor,
(These smooth-out the harsh side-effects of hard-drugs and hard-liquor, respectively . . .).

– - I really hate that MISLEADING fast-food drive-thru PSA also,
It’s so BACKWARDS;
- Those kids ran into the girl on the bike, were disrespectful to the fast-food employee BECAUSE they’re disrespectful, irresponsible jerks TO BEGIN WITH, regardless!
(They only smoke weed ’cause it’s illegal, and wouldn’t do so otherwise . . . ).

The only violence caused by marijuana is the fact that it is illegal and money can be made on this cause it’s illegal. Think about it how many people do you see that are high on marijuana looking for a fight because they are high or raping individuals because they are high. Not to many. Now look at alcohol. When people drink they usually get very loud and are looking to fight someone or looking to take advantage of a someone lookin for sex. It is easier for kids to get this drug than it is for them to get alcohol which is legal. The war on drugs is a complete failure and our politicians need to realize this. When our economy is as bad as it is like today and millions of people are out of jobs, many more good Americans are going to find some way to support themselves. If this involves selling marijuana than they will so they can pay there bills. We are tired of all the bull shit comercials that are against marijauna. Half of them are completely untrue. EX: I was watching one comerical and they said that this kid got so high that he let his friends draw all over him. Another example was these kids were getting fast food and they slammed on the gas when they left hitting a girl on a bycicle Im sorry the only time people let other people draw on them is when they are passed out drunk and don’t know they are getting drawn on. Marijuana users are not any worse than speeders. We all know that everyone speeds and this causes more deaths than marijuna has ever caused. Why not put speeders in jail too. That way every single person living in the U.S. including you are in jail and know what its like. The purpose of police is to prevent violence and to keep the public safe. Why not protect the people and prevent gang violence be legalizing marijuana. Marijuana is so easy to find. Why not start regulating marijuana that way our government can earn money from taxing it. Oh wait, lets just keep it illegal and encourage gangs and drug cartels to sell this substance and make unremarkabe profits off of it. As for marijuana being a gateway drug thats all bull shit. The only reason people would say this is cause they put marijuana in the same category of harsh drugs. I guarentee most individuals started off with alcohol, so shouldnt alcohol be a gateway drug. Oh, wait alcohol is legal so they would never expect alcohol to be a gateway drug. Its time to end prohibition on marijuana and quit supporting gangs who make money off of selling marijuana. I have been to so many classes on marijuana and have come to realize that the people who need education on marijuana is the people who don’t use it. It’s really pathetic when you go to marijuana classes and they start talking about meth, cocaine, heroin, and shit like that. When the only thing that you have ever done was marijuana and you have no plans of ever trying any of that other shit. The truth is that the people who have never done marijuana need informed about it too. Instead of letting the bull shit comercials do the talking because the comercials are lying. Since you are against legalization of marijuana how about I suggest that you make everyone take classes on marijuana that way they can know the real truth about it.
