marijuana does not directly kill people, while drugs like pain relievers, asthma medications, anti-psychotics, birthcontrol, etc. can.
marijuana has fewer harmful side effects than tobacco, even though people try to advertise that it does. people smoke far less plant material for pot than tobacco, plus tobacco is severely addictive and over 400,000 people die annually from smoking. While around 50,000 people die from secondhand smoke.
alcohol also causes over 200,000 deaths per year, where marijuana causes 0.
marijuana has many good health benefits. I have taken many anti-nausea medications and they are all very bad. I was on one that had a major chemicals found in datura(jimson weed) and belladonna(deadly nightshade). These plants can make you have a terrifying trip for 3 days and cause death.
I also used an anti-nausea called compazine, which is also a medication for schizophrenia patients. it caused me to tremor violently and i started lactating like i was pregnant.

Because those kinds of drugs make people do crazy things to
A woman babysitter was on illegal drugs and ended up putting the infant baby she was babysitting in the microwave and killed it.

Thanks for the ranting polemic...
I think perhaps that diamorphine might be pretty useful to someone with terminal cancer don't you think? Maybe even an asthmatic might be quite grateful for the contents of their inhaler. You seem to be arguing, as many pot proselytisers do, that all the medically important drugs and alcohol (western society's drug of choice) are bad killers whilst good 'ole pot is harmless!
Absolute keech my friend. What about the 12-yr old with psychotic problems caused by smoking a hugely powerful genetically selected strain of skunk. Are you seriously suggesting that this may have beneficial effects for the unfortunate user. What if it was yr kid with a baggie full of skunk?
Aye, not so sure now eh?
People can have huge problems with cannabis and some don't. Anyway, polemic aside, I think yr question is actually a wee bit flawed as most people I know (and I don't move in especially 'odd' circles) DON'T actually think that illegal drugs are automatically worse than prescription drugs; most of them take them from time to time. LOL!!

The reason most are against it is because once it is legal which drug will be next? They are already allowing those under the age 18 to purchase it out in California, You can get a prescription at any age for any symptom. If it were for medical reasons I see no problem, but that is not what the majority of potheads want, they just want to get to high!

Good Luck to you my friend!
Ps. if you are truely a mama, then i would change that name. because you'll have people threatening you about your kids.
sorry to say it but its true. that's how people are. Plus most of them are going to go for cigs even though it kills ya, because the cigs are legal. Anything that has to deal with a drug that is illegal they are going to act crazy about it.

Because illegal drugs can be made by anybody and can't be taxed.
