Dope has a different high then meth then crack then etc. They are different chemicals effecting your brain in different ways.
There are people out there that started on grass and moved to harder drugs for the possible cheaper more intense high or feeling of well being or whatever.
Does that grass causes make some people chase a greater high, we've seen interviews especially with addictive personalities where they liked the high of grass and they wanted that feeling in greater concentration.
Does it in my mind effect the legalization argument. To me not really I'm on board with legalizing dope, but the level of research into grass is nowhere near as big as the level of research into alcohol and tobacco and that consistent level of knowledge does have to be there.

This is a persons choice no different than an alcoholics. I do see your point, I'm not arguing that pot can't be harmful in a variety ways. My argument is so can many things that are legal, and things we consider a part of our daily lives.
I do agree with your point about developing minds though, and that should likely be an age limit on it higher than booze (another poster suggested 21, which I think would be a good idea).
It's just that in my view, the people that want this stuff (any drug/fix) will find it. The people that don't want it, won't use it. I realize this argument can be made for all drugs, and my only real argument to that is: Camaaaan man, it's weed.
