I have the feeling that aside from Schroeder, everyone on here will agree with you. But, since I like preaching to the quoir...

Marijuana causes NO brain damage, which can't be said about alcohol. According to this site, which is against marijuana, the only negative affect is lung damage from smoking. No where do they mention brain damage. However, this is very avoidable through brownies or vaporizer's. Not to mention, cigarettes are extremely damaging to people's lungs. But, this does not make them illegal.

Sadly, the public television ads against pot are full of propaganda that is falsley created in order to scare people. Take for instance the quote "One in three drivers tested for marijuana, after a car wreck, tested positive." Now, what they don't tell you is that not all drivers are tested for marijuana after a crash. ONLY those that look suspicious are, meaning that the above statistic is wrong. Also, saying a person had marijuana in their system is not synonymous with meaning that the person was high while driving. The person could have smoked the week before the crash and still test postive.

Then there is that commercial where they show some kid cutting up four cigarettes and rolling the tobacco into 1 big joint. The some dipshit narrator comes on and says in a concerned voice, "one marijuana joint contains the same amount of harmful chemicals as 4 cigarettes." Of course, they neglect to tell you exactly what their definition of a marijuana joint is. And, who smokes four joints at once? Not many people do, but a lot of people do smoke 20 cigarettes in one day. And, once again, you can always use a vaporizer and eliminate much of the harmful chemicals.

There truly is no logical argument against the legalization of marijuana. Would it cause more driving accidents? Saying it would is nothing more than speculation. Not only that, but it would add a small, but noticeable, addition to our economy.

But in the end who really cares, I severely doubt that my saying this will somehow make our government change their laws.
