And this is where you are wrong....
There are more cancer causing agents in your little joint than that cigarette whomever smokes. If you continue to smoke it, you will increase your chances many times over of getting cancer. Does this mean you will end up with cancer? No. Hell, you might just end up being impotent as your only side effect, but your chances are increasing, just as someone who smokes the same amount of cigarettes is. If you don't choose to believe this, that's fine. It's your life, your lungs, your countries laws you are breaking.
Are you a medical professional that does cancer research? An oncologist? You've definitely convinced
yourself that you've got lots of knowledge on the subject. (Thanks for not quoting a Wiki as a source
) Why, pray tell, should your insight on the
dangers of pot smoking be taken with anything other than mild interest in your strong feelings about a relatively harmless group of people. A group that, as I'm sure you're well aware, have MUCH less an effect on your pocket book than the users of legal drugs. Your assertion that marijuana users are morons doesn't help your credibility. Being judgemental seems to come naturally to some people though.
I'm not a marijuana smoker, but as is often the case with other "liberal" thinkers, the smokers I know are usually the last to start calling people names, or to try to make someone feel that they are somehow
less capable as a member of society for not making the same choices. Why is it not so with many of the conservative,
legal-drug users that I know? I'll have to ask one before they leave the bar after a refreshing pint.
Having lost a Dad to cigarette smoking, and a friend and his 5 year old daughter to someone that decided to drink some legal drugs before getting behind the wheel, I can state with some relief that all of my
dope smoking friends are still just as alive, healthy, intelligent and easy to get along with as they've ever been. I've never seen one of them decide that it's a good idea to go out a drive around after getting a buzz, nor have I seen them adopt the drug of choice of the truly impared, '
meth. You want to raise hell about evil drugs? I think there are a few higher on the list than cannabis.
If more people actually bothered to
educate themselves, rather than responding with a jerk-of-the-knee from their comfy armchairs, we might actually have some economic growth via Hemp products and a
legalized drug that wouldn't kill near as many people as cigarettes
or alcohol. Making it illegal doesn't keep people from using it, but it sure gives a lot of bureaucrats more of our tax dollars.
