What is Marijuana?
The cogent premises for the legalization of marijuana debate:
Marijuana is not addictive - It doesn't matter how many times your wife tell you it is. Science says it is not statistically accurate. Yes, some people get addicted to it, and some people get addicted to The Real House Wives of NJ
It is not, pharmaceutically speaking, a narcotic - Again, just because the government said it was 40 years ago, does not mean that is today. Science says other wise.
Marijuana is probably less harmful physiologically than two of our most important social drugs, alcohol and nicotine - Again this is science and math. There are zero health benefits to booze and cigarettes. There are countless benefits to marijuana.
The marijuana high is a learned response and less dangerous socially than the alcohol high - There have been countless experiments backing up this fact.
Marijuana use does not lead to a life of crime nor to the use of more dangerous drugs - When is the last time you saw a stoner commit a crime, other than wasting time?
Users experience what is called reverse tolerance, i.e. they require smaller and smaller amounts to get high - So it is fiscally responsible to smoke weed.
Marijuana holds serious promise as therapeutic in the treatment of depression, epilepsy, certain skin diseases, otitis (inflammation of the ear). sinusitis, hypertension and glaucoma - As previously mentioned, it is a healthy high.
