Do you believe cannabis should be legalized or remain illegal?

It’s not toxic nor unhealthy to smoke or ingest. No one has EVER in 5,000 years of known use died as a direct result of using marijuana. It has a long list of medicinal uses from glaucoma to arthritis.

Hemp has many, many uses which include paper, clothing, food and fuel.

Cannabis smoke has NO carcinogens. It can be eaten or used in a vaporizer. There is NO withdrawal symptoms, so it is impossible to be physically addicted. It does not kill brain cells.

Cannabis has no negative effects on a user or society. Prohibition is unethical, ludicrous, and fuels an ever growing industry for money-hungry criminals who don’t care about the plant or the users.

If you would like to know more and see evidence against the many myths then I suggest you watch this documentary on Google Video. It’s by far the best documentary on cannabis. It covers the history of the plant, use before prohibition, how it became illegal, its medicinal uses, and busting the many myths.

“The Union: The Business Behind Getting High”

I’d like to hear your opinions on cannabis, it’s recreational use, and why you believe it should remain illegal or be legalized. Thank you and legalizzzzze it 🙂
There is NOTHING in cannabis that will make you want to try other drugs. I could just as well say that milk is a gateway to harder things like coffee, which can kill. Shady drug dealers can be a gateway to other drugs, but this is prohibition’s fault.
