<p>Marijuana should be legal, but I would still avoid it because it negatively affects cognitive ability and short-term memory.</p>

<p>These all came from the first two pages of searching “marijuana” just in HSL. </p>

<p>The search button is your friend. We have these threads literally every other week. </p>

<p>Ugh.</p>

23

<p>

</p>

<p>It does. That’s why I do neither.</p>

24

<p>Isn’t good for you.</p>

<p>Why would you pay money to harm yourself just to feel good (I think) for a couple of hours?</p>

<p>My 2 cents :P</p>

25

<p>as far as i know weed doesnt have any long term effects. it doesnt cause cancer or brain cell loss.</p>

26

<p>smoking does cause cancer, whether it’s cigarettes or marijuana.</p>

<p>@MIThopeful16: for a supposedly highly intelligent person, you don’t seem to have a lot of common sense</p>

27

<p>^
yeah, but people who smoke cigarettes smoke wayyyyy more tobacco in comparison to a person who smokes marijuana. many cigarette smokers smoke 1 pack per day, which is muchhhh more in comparison to a person who smokes maybe not even a gram per day of marijuana.</p>

28

<p>I think it should be legalized, of course with limits such as legal age and heavy taxes.</p>

29

<p>legalize it, regulate selling locations (just like alcohol, store needs a permit) and tax it.</p>

30

<p>

</p>

<p>Just because one is worse doesn’t mean the other is not bad. They’re both bad for you.</p>

31

<p>Pot is safer than alcohol and tobacco, especially if you extract the THC and bake it into brownies/cookies. Then you’re not even smoking it, which is the real harm. Smoking anything is bad for you. </p>

<p>It should be completely legal, taxed, and sold in stores. If alcohol and tobacco can, I don’t see why marijuana can’t.</p>

32

<p>Isn’t it practically legal already?</p>

<p>I mean, c’mon. It’s gonna get legalized soon, people will complain, then they’ll stop.</p>

<p>Also, if you’ve never smoked it, how can you say it sucks?</p>

33

<p>^ I agree with lucky’s last statement. </p>

<p>But, no it’s not practically legal already, unfortunately. Just ask my fiance :/</p>

34

<p>Ah, it’s an utter waste in so many ways to punish pot smokers.</p>

35

<p>For some reason I think it’s bad and it can be abused if it’s legalized…</p>

<p>I don’t really know what weed or alcohol for that matter even smells like though…</p>

<p>…unless if it counts smelling something really, really weird/nasty smelling on this one kid’s clothes everyday…he comes to school high everyday ( i think, not sure if it’s just him).</p>

<p>Then another time from 3 years ago i smelled something similar on this one girl that sounded crazy.she was probably high too…so i think i have a vague idea of what it smells like…?</p>

36

<p>

</p>

<p>And it can’t be abused if illegal…?</p>

<p>How do you not know what weed smells like? o.O</p>

37

<p>According to the Drug Awareness Warning Network Annual Report, published by the US federal government, there has never been a death recorded from the use of marijuana by natural causes.
just look at the statistics-
in the UK, heavy drinking is blamed for 33,000 deaths per year. There has never been a documented human fatality from overdosing on THC. </p>

<p>It has been shown that, to overdose on marijuana, one would have to smoke 1500 kg…yes, 1500 KG… in 14 minutes. If you can do that, I salute you. otherwise, admit it is among the least toxic substances known to man</p>

<p>edit: sources- wikipedia ( :slight_smile: )</p>

38

<p>^ That should be /thread lol</p>

39

<p>@bobtheboy, where did the lack of common sense come from.</p>

<p>I made it clear in the post previous to mine I do not smoke it.</p>

40

<p>

</p>

<p>Nah, I just feel like it might make the problem even worse.</p>

<p>I think i have a vague idea of what it smells like…but no idea what alcohol smells like though. I swear. Even though I have witnessed a couple of drug dealers around the neighbourhood…hahaha…</p>

<p>But that could probably be because I no one in my family smokes it…and none of my friends do either…</p>
