thc, the active ingredient in canabais, is indeed a chemical. and whether cannabais is a chemical is completely irrelevant, since it is still a mind altering substance. being "natural" does not by any stretch of the imagination negate that fact.

Here in the netherlands cannabis is legal.
Do we have more people using it than other countries? NO
Do we have more people addictive on other drugs. NO
Do we have problems related to cannabis use? NO
In fact we have one of the lowest stats in the world according to drug use.
"Fear" and a corrupt government is the only thing that keeps the herb from being legal. NOT common sense. |
you also fail to realize america is
not the netherlands. the statistics you provide are completely and fully irrelevant because american culture is inherently different in it's values and beliefs. neither fear nor a corrupt government keep the herb from being legal, and common sense doesn't factor into the equation at all. it's common sense
not to have your higher thinking processes diluted because you have a mind full of chemicals (wait, i'm sorry, it's common sense not to to have your higher thinking processes diluted because you have a mind full of a
harmless herb). marijuana isn't illegal to "keep you down". if you're going to argue for it's legalization, i suggest coming up with something better than "it's working for the netherlands!" because that simply doesn't hold any water.
