Everything you said isn't there because of marijuana. Those negative things are because of prohibition. We can go into a Wal-Mart and buy an asprin for a headache (which kills about 7500 people per year by the way) but something natural that You can grow in Your backyard that does the same thing is illegal. I'm not sure what You think I missed in the past posts of this thread... I read the whole thing, I'm just trying to continue the discussion of this thread because I think it is an interesting topic. We saw the rise of the Mafia with alcohol prohibition and we continue to see HUGE amounts of violence because of Marijuana prohibition.

What is the impact of long-term regular use thought? Marijuana has NEVER killed anyone EVER. We're not protecting people from themselves, we're not saving the children- it's just a horribly illogical law that is in place because of corruption and propaganda. The fact that it's against the law is just a disgusting reminder of how retarded our system is, not a reasonable reaction to a proven threat to society. In this day and age with the incredible access to information that we have available there's no way that we should be allowing human beings to tell other human beings that they can't do something that they enjoy that hurts no one including themselves.

That's why I posted, read thread and thought I'd discuss. Great point though and great thread on a great forum!

I think it's pretty ignorant to ignore the many positive uses of cannabis though. For some people it is the ONLY thing that helps with certain symptoms and I know of more than a few Bishops who have given the okay to members that have asked if it would effect their worthiness to go to the temple, exercise their priesthood duties and hold callings. It's almost laughable that it is still illegal when it has so many medical benefits.

Hey everyone, I'm new. Stumbled upon the site and seems awesome! Thanks to whoever runs this and the people here to discuss!
