No it's not as bad as tobacco or alcohol. Pot has actually been proven to help regenerate brain cells, which is why it works for people with Alzhemier's. The killing brain cells thing is at best, a myth, and at worst, a fabrication. Pot also affects different people differently. You may not be able to play MahJong while smoking, but you'd probably find me quite capable even after a few bowls. Yes, pot does affect your health.

Have you ever try playing mahjong (similar to poker) while intoxicated with grass? Everything seems to move on a super slow speed. You can't think straight at all even with little amount. Tobacco and Marijuana do kills a little of your brain cell each time you puff your lungs away. It's so microscopic that noone really notices it until it's too late. Smoking just slow down your thinking process. I'm not against people who do, but understand how it damages your health just a little at a time. Cheers =P How can smoking pot less harmful than tobacco or alcohol? Have you ever try playing mahjong (similar to poker) while intoxicated with grass? Everything seems to move on a super slow speed.

Mainly, I don't think politicians have the balls to be able to admit that thye've been wrong for so long and that they've wasted so much money fighting it. The potential for a legal marijuana market is huge. Even with excessive taxes and regulation like alcohol and tobacco, it'd still be a hit in society. very interesting read

Yes it was stereotypical, but it was meant to be ironic. However, if you look into the history of prohibition, you\'ll find that most of the mass hysteria created against pot in the 1930s was racially incensed. The \"devil weed\" was supposedly responsible for black men being able to seduce white women, people were told that marijuana was controlled by rogue Mexican gangs, intent on the destruction of America and Americans.

And to clarify, is your point that it would not be legalized because these groups are the minority, and do not have the ear of Washington? Or is your point that it would not be legal because the government wants these people to enjoy the drug, because they see it as a means of keeping these groups loopy and submissive? “black people, mexicans and liberals enjoy pot”

Isn’t that kind of stereotypical.
