Should marijuana be legalized?
Your thoughts and opinions?
Is it a dangerous "drug"?

It's not possible to overdose on marijuana, so right off the bat the numbers are pretty low.I'm sure a lot less people are killed by marihuana than guns..

re. is it a dangerous drug - hasn't it been found to be risky to teenage brains undergoing developmental neurone changes? i.e. a trigger for schizophrenia in susceptible individuals?

Which is why I didn't say no one has ever died from marijuana use, just that the numbers would be comparatively low when lined up against drugs that you can overdose on.Yeah but there are people who killed themselves in a psychosis. Which can occur by pot use, it's highly unlikely, but can occur.
Not nearly as dangerous as has been reported for a long time. It was long believed that it killed brain cells, which is not true: the experiments they cited when reporting this information were fundamentally flawed and only demonstrated that a lack of oxygen kills brain cells.re. is it a dangerous drug - hasn't it been found to be risky to teenage brains undergoing developmental neurone changes? i.e. a trigger for schizophrenia in susceptible individuals?
Alcohol, cigarettes, and certain medicines are also dangerous to developing children.
state the bleedin obvious why don't you BVS?
yeah, like i said, i was talking about the specific risk of schizophrenia/psychosis actually...
Ok, thanks for the clarification, but I still think that reasoning isn't exactly justifiable in calling it a "dangerous drug". It's dangerous for some, but then again so are peanuts. I hope that makes sense, I'm not trying to play semantics or be snarky.
Marijuana being illegal is borderline insanity. There are so many things that are more dangerous and legal than marijuana.
I don't smoke it. I don't like it. But that doesn't mean it should be illegal at all.
This is a really simple argument.
Why? With such a prevalent black market, they're going to have to maintain quality in order to compete in the marketplace. Adding chemicals that worsen the product won't accomplish that. It's bad business.If they make pot legal, I've got a scary feeling the tobacco companies will add chemicals to it and make it worse.
