at filmfann: There are no recorded deaths caused from marijuana. I’m talking about effects of marijuana, not stupid things some people do while high. I’ll put it into simpler terms for you. Cigarettes cause lung cancer. Alcohol causes liver failure. Marijuana causes nothing. I’d like you to go out and find a death caused by the effects of marijuana on the body.
It’s not addictive. It’s habitual, not addictive. When deprived of marijuana, a person does not experience withdrawals as would someone who smokes cigarettes, or does harder drugs.
It’s technically not a gateway drug. The only way to obtain marijuana is by getting it from a dealer. The dealer may have harder drugs on them, and may offer them to the buyer. The buyer may be willing to buy the harder drugs. It’s proven that marijuana has nothing in it that would suddenly make you want to go try meth or coke or heroin.
I’m talking about organized crime caused by marijuana. The only reason that’s around is because of prohibition and it being illegal. Don’t believe me, take a look at the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920’s. Complete failure.
So filmfann, when I asked why people are too ignorant to do actual research and open their eyes, your response has showed me that this question was aimed at you. Don’t believe me yet? How about watching this documentary: The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. It explores everything there is to know about marijuana, from effects, to uses, to legalization and basically everything else. Maybe then you’ll see the light and not be one of these ignorant people I’m referring too.
