I'm kind of back and forth on the whole grass debate, and I've come to this conclusion

1) Anything that alters the way your brain functions even over the short term has to be causing damage of some kind. I've seen people that have smoked dope for years and you can see that there are effects. Its just like people that drink a lot do suffer damage to thier body.

Its like poison, it leaves tell tales that it doing something thats not normal to your body

2) I do think that in the right kind of social setting with the right kind of person that grass can become a gate way to more dangerous drugs. I'm not saying its gateways for everyone tho

3) I guess we're going to need to pass laws about smoking dope and driving, if your going to do it for liquor then you have to do it for grass

4) Liquor is manufactured by actual companies where you can be somewhat reassured of what goes into the product, its the same as smokes, we know what goes into it. With dope its grown and manufactured with no quality control, you don't know whats been sprayed on the plants, or what is mixed in with the weed, a good example of this is the potent stuff thats mixed with PCP to create a more intense and brain damaging high

If its going to be legalized then it needs to be manufactured and sold by people that have been certified, it needs to leave the street corners and sold in legitimate places of business so people don't get shot for buying it

In other words

Make legitimate sources of growing, packaging and selling legal, tax the snot out of it and get it out of the hands of drug dealers, and keep the money from funding terrorist groups

thoughts?
