| The truth about Marijuana is, several years ago the government had came to several false conclusions to give reason for making it illegal. It was made illegal because it is a minor hallucinogen, also because of a bunch of random bullshit facts.
Over the years there has been many things said about Marijunana...the most untruthful and well-known statement is that it is a gateway drug, that it "leads to other, worse drugs". This is bullshit, marijuana is not addtictive, it is the high which is addictive, and even still the high is not a major addiction. Anyone who tells you marijuana led them to other drugs is an irresponsible ignoramous who has to put the blame on other things simply because they fucked up, but don't want to admit it.
If you ask yourself why it should be legal, its simple; marijuana should be legalised for the simple fact that it gives kids something to do, something which hurts noone in any major way. Marijuana does not lead to violence, it melo's you out, and I personally wouldn't mind legalizing marijuana if it mean't that a large number of the population is out smoking joints rather than robbing people and stealing cars.
Thats another thing....cars and marijuana. Marijuana does not "render" your vision in any way whatsoever, you see something you only thought you saw, this is "tripping out", seeing something that isn't really there, then when you examine the sight, you see that your mind is playing tricks with your eyes. While driving under the influence of marijuana, you tend to be a better and safer driver. You pay much more attention to the road, because you think you will hit a car because you are high.
The only reason pot-heads ever dropped out of high school or can't get a job is because it is frowned upon. It may kill brain cells, but I heard beer does as well. If the world didn't see smokers of marijuana as lazy, accomplish-nothings then pot-heads would be doing much better in life. Instead they are failing because they like to smoke a "drug" in their spare time which does not make them lazy, or stupid, but this is what the government has led the anti-marijuana puppets to believe. |
