LOL... You do realize, that tobacco is a "natural plant" as well, right? Not saying, that cigarettes are good, but "arguments" like this won't help making the "retarded pot-head" stereotype go away.

The contents of cigarettes/ chewing tobacco are enough to poison a whole population.
Just for the record; nicotine is the least of your problems when you smoke: TAR and CO2 are your main concerns.

None of that changes the fact, that tobacco is a "natural plant". Just because something is "natural" doesn't make it good for you.

Also - tar and CO2 are present in cannabis smoke. Generally, inhaling smoke - bad idea.

Unless you have multiple sclerosis, epilepsy or Parkinson's disease.
Generally, it's then a very good idea.

It is a shame so many people have been, and still are, going to jail just for possessing weed.

Er, what about the strict parents who advised their kids against both pot AND cigarettes?

I'll pass it to you, too

I believe that most places legalizing it are only doing so for private consumption. You still can't just light up wherever.

Well, no. Cannabis edibles are a very good idea. Vaporizer is a good idea. Smoking is probably the worst way to do it. Except for jagged, fist-sized THC suppositories, I guess...

Also applies to tobacco here. Can't light up indoors unless there is a proper space with ventilation. Heh, being a smoker no qualms with that and I enjoy tobacco better outside.

As for the drug itself, lel, the weakest of them all. Alcohol comes to mind as way more destructive and yet legal. Hell, xanax or prozac are worse. Imo making it legal would give some tax revenue back, instead spendin on a losing war to wich all the revenue goes with greater profit to the big dealers, at a risk sure, but what a business venture is out of risk these days.

I don't agree with heroin. That is a bad mistress. And I know a bit about the subject. Or Meth, but never tried that one. Never liked the uppers.
