Realistically, people would recognize what the crap does to their bodies and just stop because most people dont want to die early, but people will always be ignorant to the future as long as they can be. I don't mind people smoking weed, but I don't want to be around them, I dont want share the road with them, and I dont wanna pay their medical bills because they have half a lung left.
If you were smart, you wouldnt use pot. Also, about how lots of things being stored in the brain... those things are necessary for basic life functions. Without them, we would DIE. Pot adds chemicals to the brain that are more likely to be dangerous to health.
I just dont see why people would use this stuff. I dont even feel compelled to drink or smoke, much less do weed or worse. It just doesnt make any sense...

but its OK we spend 10x that amount in trying to enforce it? think of it this way: if its legalized, it can be government controlled. which means not only greater purity and less health risks, but taxes, lots and lots of taxes. the taxes will go not only into education on pot (facts, not opinions, not "its bad', you say what it does and let people make up their own minds), but also will go back into the government. the money regained from the "war on drugs" alone will shut you up about wastefulness
and i dont believe that medicare or anything should cover it. im a big socialist and i dont believe that (makes me weird eh). I believe that everyone should get the same chance and everyone should throw in their share to help out, but if you **** up, thats your own damn fault. much like how alcoholics shouldnt have liver transplants covered, smokers shouldnt have cancer (that are from smoking) treatments covered, etc.
