Once upon a time there was a guy that I knew and his roommate. They went to Georgia Tech. One got hooked on crack. The other got hooked on Evercrack. Guess which one lasted longer!

--- Quote from: Switchblade on 13 Mar 2008, 12:32 ---I'd rather stick to alcohol, the benefits and drawbacks of which are well-documented, than try something so controversial and potentially dangerous, especially when it's illegal. The way I see it, better the legal not-very-evil-at-all that you know, than the illegal potentially-very-evil-indeed that you don't.

This is culturally relative. Also, marijuana was made illegal only recently in most places.

Oh sweet, this thread is about drugs now?
--- Quote from: Switchblade on 13 Mar 2008, 19:07 ---To date, everybody I've known who smoked weed wound up doing one of two things:
1: quitting before it became a problem.
2: getting hooked and dropping out.

Maybe you just know a lot of losers! I for one have not had this problem since around about 2003, when I made a point to stop hanging out with losers. Since then, the people I have met that smoke weed do so in a socially and emotionally healthy manner.
I'm sorry you know so many losers I guess?

If you look around, it isn't hard to find clinical studies that back up the fact that alcohol and tobacco are worse for you then Marijuana. The smoke from pot is not good for you. It is fucking up your lungs, but people don't really smoke pot like they do cigarettes.
Now, to back up my statements, I am going to use wikipedia, since it is always 100% factually accurate.

If you want to do some leg work, you can find plenty of other sources that provide similar results from peer reviewed papers.
Personally, I could care less about pot. On principle, I believe it should be legal if alcohol is legal. I don't like it and wouldn't use it even if it was legal.
Some one should create a Law similar to Godwin's Law. Instead of nazis references, it could mention that the longer a discussion progresses the higher the chance that some one will use Wikipedia to support their point. Now, we just need a name for it.

Me and my dad are pretty much the same, except I don't plan on drinking and he isn't ocd.
