I’ll stop supporting legalizing marijuana when cigarettes and alcohol are made illegal
There are so many misconceptions about marijuana. Marijuana doesn’t kill brain cells. Marijuana isn’t physically addictive. Marijuana has been shown to help people with AIDS and cancer patients that are under chemo, to give them their appetites back. Marijuana does impair judgment, and it also can cause a pot smoker to gain a lot of weight, if the person smokes enough. The munchies are bad for you.
Marijuana has some good stuff about it, but like all drugs, it does have its side effects. Yet, it’s still illegal, while alcohol and cigarettes are legal.
Cigarettes cause cancer. The only difference between cigarettes and marijuana is that the government makes money off of cigarette companies. Same with alcohol.
It doesn’t matter if there are more alcohol related deaths than pot related ones. The government would never ban alcohol and tobacco. Not only because of money, but because it wouldn’t work. Prohibition didn’t work in the 1920’s with alcohol. Banning tobacco wouldn’t cause people to stop using it. I can name five people at my high school that smoke pot.
Legalizing marijuana would do more good than harm. At least pot would help cancer and AIDS patients. The key word in legalizing it isn’t just helping them be able to eat, it’s the fact that it should be someone’s choice. Just like drinking is a choice, and smoking is a choice. The fact that people that support the choice of drinking and smoking, are against legalizing pot, speaks volumes on the hypocrisy of America.

Hey Nickles,

See what Pot does to you? Look at your writing it don't make any sense. You can't spell worth sh*t. Go back to smoking dope and learn how to spell mkay. And all you other loser stoners get a life. You don't need drugs to make you happy it only shows how much you are addicted to it.

Also its not pot that causes people to gain weight i smoked everyday for years and stayed at 120 pounts 5'7 5% bodyfat... Big surprise its called common sense still. People like to blame pot but its their addiction to awfull foods and Fast food.For instance i will make up a quote. "Here is your heart attack in a bag sir" said the Mc Donalds employee. "Dang it" exclaimed the stoned customer "Fast food makes me gain weight but its marijuanas fault for driving me to Mc Donalds.... Oh wait I was the one driving i guess that was just a bad choice". They should learn to buy a vegatable.

The debate should never be about if its bad for you it should be the level of intoxication you get from marijuana which for me and almost all user with common sense is absolutely none. It doesnt impair you it helps you wthl everything man was sent here to do. Gives you a better appettite so you eat, helps you sleep, and for some makes sex more pleasurable. We are here to eat sleep and reproduce. Kinda looks like pot was made for us doesnt it?

how stupid is this article? it makes YOU seem hypocritical. If you support something, then you should stick to it. do you agree with legalizing pot or dont you. banning cigarretes alchohol shouldnt affect your cause. I'm tired of peopling comparing things....
lol ban pot and leagalize cocaine... thats a good one... lol
haha, my entire school is made of pot heads. If they searched lockers like 90% of my school would be expelled and I went to Catholic school.
If people would only get their heads screwed properly, meaning they know what the words "moderation and temperance" means, then anything considered legal, whether they be addictive or not, would not be troublesome at all. Maybe, next time, they should try banning people whose heads are all screwed from existing teeheee...
