Every major study of the marijuana laws in the last 100 years has concluded that the only connection between marijuana and heroin is that they are both prohibited and, therefore, sold in the same black market.The most recent study of the subject was the report of the US Institute of Medicine on medical marijuana. They reported:
Instead it is the legal status of marijuana that makes it a gateway drug.
In other words, the people who support prohibition are using the bad effects of prohibition as justification for prohibition. The conclusion of all the research is that we have a “gateway drug policy”. It is the laws that create the problem.

Often it is even considered to be ‘cool’ to smoke ‘weed’ and get high.
But before we know it, this apparently innocent occasional smoking of
marijuana, or cannabis, will slowly but surely lead to a desire to use
more, more often and in stronger concentrations. And then after a while
we can no longer speak of the occasional fun moments of being high, it
can become a serious addiction that influences our body and mind
intensely on a daily basis and can start ruling our life.

anyone who thinks weed is harmful needs to wake up from their fantasy world of “everything i have learned is true.” Weed has all kinds of positive effects that one can easily look up off any legitimate medical site. Besides bonding with other people and establishing close and dependable friendships weed has enabled me to overcome crisis after crisis including the death of my mom.
Yes smoking has irritants to the lungs as would any burning material which is not healthy BUT there are ZERO diseases or illnesses that can be caused by it. Cancer? THC has been and continues to be tested and has proven to eliminate cancer cells. Yes, it eliminates it not creates it. I smoke weed every day and i love it. Is it addicting? No. I have gone months at a time not smoking weed in my lifetime without any problem. If i wanted to i could stop all together but i wont because it is a healthy habit i enjoy similar to hiking or watching the news every day. The government hasn’t legalized weed because it is shown as a drug that makes you lose control. Some people say its because of all the money. Ironic because last i checked we are trillions in debt because the gov does’nt know how to handle money properly, at all. if they did the country wouldn’t be broke but mabey i am just over-simplifying things… If the gov cared about its people it would stop fucking up kids lives for those who get caught with weed on them.

The government has nothing better to do than be on their high-horse and making people fear or hate something that is natural and not really worth worrying about. Marijuana should be legal and the government could than tax it and make a profit on it. They would have one less drug to worry about. I used to be worried about it until I tried it 4 years ago. There is nothing to fear and I haven’t done it since then. People have to stop being so stuck in the past about topics like this. Oh and by the way, it’s not addictive like cigarettes and other drugs (i.e. caffeine).

I think that obama is fu**** retarded and should legalize weed I mean I think that marijuana should be legal before alcohol is. You dont hear about ppl wrecking or anything while they’re high off weed its all the damn alcoholics in this nation. If anything weed should take the place of beer anyday of the week in my opinion!!!!!!! and another thing weed is freakin naturally grown beer is fuckin made and for all the religious people, WEED IS NATURAL no offense but when you smoke you dont act stupid like you do when your drunk weed acually makes you think and makes you pay attention!!!
