I think it's interesting that it's the liberal democrat who's making the argument that the states should be allowed to make their own laws in this regard.If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

Edit: The gun problem, as it relates to the destabilizing of Mexico, may merit some serious federal control. Ideally I am pro-states' rights for gun laws, but a failed narco state at our southern border might be the sort of situation that would merit reconsideration.Last edited by RobinFinderson; 03-02-2009, 12:58 PM.

Pharma couldn't care less if California legalizes marijuana.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

A positive side effect would be the legalization of hemp.Just try it once. One beer or one cigarette or one porno movie won't hurt. - Dallin H. Oaks

I'm all for legalizing marijuana, but you guys are getting a little carried away in your thoughts that marijuana is completely safe.
And I would almost guarantee that Pharma hasn't put a cent into ensuring that marijuana remain illegal.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Isn't marijuana still a carcinogen? Isn't it still unhealthy and unsafe? The most pragmatic argument I have always heard is that pot is "no more dangerous" than cigarettes. Well, cigarettes are still very dangerous, addicting, and health hazardous.
What other dangers are involved? Impaired driving (can you drive while my impaired by cigarettes?). What are the long-term negative health effects of marijuana?Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Originally posted by KillerDog View PostI think it is less dangerous than tobacco from a cancer perspective but I'm not sure we know one way or the other. I'm pretty certain the carcinogenic risks of smoking, particularly second hand smoke, are way overblown.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

The one thing marijuana has over smoking is the frequency. Few people smoke 2 packs of joints a day. However, they inhale more deeply and increase the exposure that way.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

Originally posted by ERCougar View PostI won't call "Link?" on you since you're admittedly guessing, but you're wrong on both counts. There's no reason to think that marijuana smoke is any better for you than tobacco smoke, from a cardiovascular or carcinogenic standpoint. And I really can't respond to your second point with a straight face. Overblown? Really, Mr. Morris?

The following from NIDA:
Marijuana smokers show dysregulated growth of epithelial cells in their lung tissue, which could lead to cancer; however, a recent case-controlled study found no positive associations between marijuana use and lung, upper respiratory, or upper digestive tract cancers. Thus, the link between marijuana smoking and these cancers remains unsubstantiated at this time.
