Change of position - All drugs should be legal

[CapnAwesome]

Well it is of consequence to the person doing it. It's terribly unhealthy and can ruin lives. 

We should discourage by educating/warning people how bad it is. It's really worked for cigarettes.

What about marijuana is terribly unhealthy? And can you point to one life marijuana has ruined (except by the state)?

While I am a heavy pot smoker myself and personally love the effects of it on me, but marijuana has certainly had negative effects on people. I think ruined would have to be clarified. There is good evidence to suggest heavy pot smoking can have a negative effect on both depression and schizophrenia. It can definitely feed into laziness and trap some people in depression. I'd certainly be surprised if nobody was pushed over the edge by heavy pot smoking. Both my parents were heavy smokers when they were younger and are now pretty much anti-pot advocates for personal reasons of how it affected them. I wouldn't say their lives were 'ruined' by it, but they both regret all the time they wasted smoking pot.

I'm all for legalization and love weed but some people view weed with too heavy of rose tinted glasses.
