You sound like a mature person, and you sound like you are doing this responsibly, so I'd have to agree with you 100%. I don't smoke marijuana myself, but I'll be quick to defend it, because I see no harm in it as well. There have been no reports of someone dying from the use of marijuana. Can people say that about alcohol?Alcohol can be toxic at certain levels, and also can lead to dangerous situations if not used responsibly. So why is this legal? They have created laws for alcohol consumption: don't drive while under the influence, don't be in public while under the influence, etc. Why can't they regulate these same laws about marijuana? Is it addictive? Why would that matter anyways. Cigarrettes are addicting, and they are legal. And cigarrettes are more harmful to your health because of all the additives. Marijuana is natural. If it was legal, I beleive that marijuana would actually be even safer to smoke, because then you could buy it pure without the fear of it possibly being laced with something. I think the reason why it is not legal has something to do with money. Some how this country is making more money by marijuana being illegal. Think about hemp. If marijuana was legal, hemp would be used all over the place. Hemp is known to be a very strong and durable material. Clothing, paper, and many other things can be made of better quality if it was made by hemp. If you cut down an acre of hemp to make paper products, think how fast that acre can grow back? If you cut down an acre of trees to make paper products, think how long it would take for that acre to grow back. You can see the positive uses of the marijuana plant. But if it was made legal, and hemp was used in place of alot of these materials, think of how many places would lose the majority of their business? It's all a conspiracy. There is an underlying reason why it is not legal. Look at all the benefits of it. It has been known to help cancer patients, aids patients, people in pain. There are many more benefits from this plant than negative ones. My advice to you would be to not pay attention to those people who would label you as a drug-user, and make false generalizations about you because of your choice to smoke marijuana. Like I said you seem like a mature and responsible person. If you are enjoying it, then do it.

There seems to be some evidence that it can increase your risk for lung cancer. Also, MJ can be psychologically addictive. You could be using the money you spend on MJ for other things that would be more nourishing physically and psychologically. Using drugs tends to isolate you from others so your choisce of partners and friends becomes more limited. Whey you use a chemical means to deal with your feelings, then you do not address the problems that are the root of these feelings. You live just by medicating yourself rather than healing whatever wound you have.

Im sorry, but you're deceiving yourself. Your trying to compare something thats already bad (mary J) to something thats worse (alcohol) in order to justify that mary j is harmless.

yes there is something wrong with it. unless you are looking to kill yourself of a disease...then keep smoking please.. do you know how they smuggle mary j??? they gut american children near the border of mexico and the states. they gut them alive and stuff them with mary j and quickly try to smuggle them past the border before their face turns a sheet of white which means that they are dead. or there are some who put it in a balloon and swallow.. so basically your encouraging drug dealers to kill innocent children and your smoking feces..enjoy

So if you're so successful, why are you posting on Y/A to vindicate your idea instead of a medical or behavioral website?
