I am sick and tired of people dissing people who smoke marijuana for this or that reason. Why has the FDA approved a pill of synthetic THC (the main active ingredient in marijuana) called Marinol, if it had any serious risks involved. Marijuana does not kill brain cells, the only drugs that permanently affect your system are alcohol (legal), and inhalants (legal, although not for huffing, and can be purchased almost anywhere). Marijuana does affect your memory, sense of time, problem solving skills, sense of hunger, etc. for the limited amount of time that you are "high". And smoking any substance, regardless of what it is called, is bad for your lungs, mouth, gums, etc.. It could also definately be taxed, if it was sold in definate amounts by stores who had to purchase liscences to sell it in the specific quantities, and would add a price or weight specific tax.(Much like the current alcohol and tobacco taxes). So if marijuana can't be taxed, and is soo bad for you, why can we tax....
