haha I lit one after work and came to reading this.
It would help the economy in california, people's defense to that is "they won't make money since people will just grow their own."
No.
Weed is a pain in the ass to grow. Plus not many people brew their own beer.
As for the damages ...yea... weed is really. really. really. hard to overdose on. The only unhealthy thing about marijuana is the smoking part. Smoking anything is bad.
If you want to talk about brain damage...

all this is true..but it doesn't change the fact that frequent use of marijuana destroys your brain
Ever heard of those cases where people nearly drown or suffocate but are permanently retarded because of the severe damage lack of oxygen to the brain has done?
The effects on alcohol are mainly felt because...dun dun dun...a lack of oxygen to your brain. That's mainly what makes you feel drunk.
Not saying anything against you personally, shadowcast, I just had to use your quote.
And alcohol can build dependency...waaaaay more adverse health defects. The liver gets destroyed...it's an important organ (I think the only artificial liver or anything close to it was pretty massive.) And that's the legal drug.
Funny thing, Crime escalated during the alcohol prohibition in the US. Bootlegging, thefts, assaults. and murders related to trafficing alcohol.
This all stopped when that was lifted.
People are going to get ****ed up. Whether their legal or not. Plus legalizing it would destroy the street value, thus cutting off funding to the drug cartels in Mexico. (although they get most of their money on hey-ron) slashing more crime..helping stuff...ya know.

I have to work in 8 hours I need to go to bed.
