Did you miss the part where I said all of them but marijuana are obviously dangerous, and I was just using them to contrast?

Why do you believe you know as much about medicine as a doctor? The medical community says those drugs are very very dangerous.Yeah, except marijuana which is only kinda sorta dangerous if you misuse it.
(March 15, 2013 at 10:22 am)jstrodel Wrote: Suffice to say, the issue of whether drugs are illegal or legal has little bearing on whether drug abuse is dangerous.Quite right. Drug abuse. It is difficult to use but not abuse hard drugs, whichc is why I said they were dangerous. It isn't that hard to use marijuana responsibly if you try.

How many of the people that take ecstasy talk to their doctor about it first? Probably very few.Maybe because it's illegal? (And I don't know much about it, which is why I never brought it into discussion)

What are you talking about? Where do you think those sources were from? The site is called webmd, as in Medical Doctor.
