Because marijuana is illegal. It's not the dark ages anymore; it's not like the government doesn't know ANYTHING about marijuana. I know marijuana can't kill you. A dude can smoke however much he wants and just fall asleep. And that's not even something that can be said about water... People in a bunch of states across the nation are taking marijuana for medical reasons. Hippies have been smoking for decades, and they're still around. So why is marijuana illegal?
Is it because it alters your state of mind? But how is that any different than coffee or beer? Cigarettes? All those things have drugs in them, and they can really change you! But can you imagine the government coming in and saying you're not allowed to experience what coffee is like? - that's what really bothers me.
I really like drinking coffee: it perks me up, keeps me alert, and I just enjoy the feeling. But if I drink too much of it, I'll get addicted... and that definitely is not cheap or enjoyable. The government isn't really protecting me from getting addicted to caffeine. And I don't really need them to. I've got my own self control, maybe I moderate myself a little. So I can take care of myself.
I don't think the government should tell me not to use something that's safe, at least safe compared to the crazy prescription medicines people take everyday. And that's all I'm trying to say. Thank you for reading my rant.

good point, and yes, it is a well written blog. i agree with you on the prescription drugs and the alcohol thing; weed's ...safer than those drugs.
