legal

O.k. so this is the last blog and I HAVE to talk about something. Legalzation or decriminilaztion of cannabis (marijuana). O.k. so let's start with some basic facts about the plant. The cnnabis plant has over 1,000 uses from making rope to helping to relieve migraine headaches. And let's face it most of us have tried it out at some point or another. now let's compare the effect's of smoking the buds and leaves of the female plant to that of a legal dangerous drug, alchol. Marijuan kill's less brain cells then alchol. When user's stop smoking marijuana they do not go through withdrawl, like they do from alchol. Marijuan does NOT cause lung cancer. however, it does cause a heightened risk for upper and lower respatoriry infections, such as pneumia, and the common cold. It also has a wide variety of medical uses, that are too numerous to list. So why is the drug illegael. Well, that's an interesting story that has to do with American racism during the 1940's. During that time it was believed that if blacks and mexicans smoked marijuana they would become violent and rape whit woman. And now it's time for somewhat of a personal story. I have good friends that smoke marijuana on a regular basis. they are able to operate fine when under the drugs influence. however, that is not the same as alchol. I have lost 3 people in my life to a drug the U.S. gov says is safe for the use of people over 21. So when u hit 21 something magical happens and you can safely drink right! wrong. i had an aunt who was an alcholic. She went to re-hab left early came home got drunk and blew her brains out. I had a friend who at the age of 16 died from alchol poisoning, and just this summer I lost another close friend to a DUI. So why does the government let this poison flow freely? Currently marijuan is ranked by the DEA as just as dangerous as PCP, LSD, halligoungenic mushrooms, Meth, and ecstacy. Marijuana is currently classified as more dangerous then cocaine, heroin, oxyconton, and alchol. Why? because during thw 1970's president nixon belweived the smoking marijuan made young men unwilling to fight in vietnam, so he increased the penalties for simple possion of the substance. So in closing what's you opinoin? If you think that i'm crazy and stupid let me have but from where Im standing I see no reason for marijauan to be illegeal, let me here what you think!
