And I favour execution for growers of commercial quantities of the stuff not lethal injection but hanging Amen to that. I lost my brother to excessive Marijuana and Alcohol. He's now a mindless dodo who can't do a single thing for more than one minute, and my aging father has to look after him while he barely hangs on to his recycling job, standing there talking to himself all day. I hate it when political types like that idiot try to use policy that would appeal to some of us younger people to try and round up support for a pathetic campaign anyway. |

| 1233368 | 2011-09-25 20:21:00 | Why do people always try to drag others down with them? Alcohol is one issue and weed is another, each must be evaluated on it's own merits and has nothing to do with the other. Weed is absolutely addictive, just like cigarettes are. Saying otherwise is living in lala land. Alcohol on the other hand is not addictive for the vast majority of people, alcoholics are the exception not the rule. Abusing any substance will cause you and your family problems regardless of legality, if you need to chemically retreat from the world you have a problem. There are good arguments on both sides of this one, difficult to decide really. On the one hand weed supports criminal activities and the current law does nothing to stop it's widespread recreational use, so legalising it really just takes money off the criminals. On the other hand the criminals will just move on to selling worse things if weed is made legal. There are other arguments as well of course. Heavy smokers labour under the illusion it has no ill effects on them and they have it under control, they have no Idea just how obviously screwed up they are to the eyes of a rational observer. It's like that guy who comes up to you at a party, bloodshot eyes, unsteady walk, slurred speech, and says "dude this weed is bullshit, it's doing nothing I'm straight as" ... then proceeds to fall over backwards into a bush and lay there laughing his arse off. I think it's a personal choice, and for adults I don't really care as long as they don't hurt anyone. But how do we keep it from the kids and teenagers, especially if it's made legal. I remember a scientist who said there is a chemical your brain producers as a teen that it never makes again so you get your entire supply of it for life as a teen. Weed apparently inhibits it's production and therefore has a permanent effect on you if you smoke it as a teenager. He was campaining saying I don't care if you use it , just please wait until you're at least past your teen years. |

| 1233372 | 2011-09-25 21:23:00 | Not alike certainly, but both addictive which was the point. It seems I was wrong about that though, apparently it's not all that addictive. Definately screws you up if you're a heavy user though. |
