Marijuana is not worse than alcohol, and alcohol causes more problems from drunk driving and the violent behavior it often causes. Just go to a bar downtown on a friday night to see that.
I smoke a fair amount myself and have never seen any real problems from it. Now it may not be good for your lungs of course but cigarettes aren't illegal. It is somewhat addictive but i don't go selling stuff for it like crackheads do. I have my 3.5 grams a week maybe and I'm fine. Cheaper than beer for me, as it lasts longer. $30 for my weed or $30+ for a 24 of beer that will make me fat and a lush. I like a beer now and then but weed relaxes and calms. You cant condemn marijuana without condemning alcohol or coffee for that matter. Tim Horton's has a monopoly on addiction with its coffee. There are more Tim Hortons coffee cups littered on the ground than any other garbage.
I am not stupid or unintelligent just because I smoke weed and I am not evil either,(not that anyone said so) but if you drink or smoke you cannot say anything bad about marijuana.
Hell if the government would tax it they would make a killing and save millions as well from locking up all those evil pot smokers.
