Drugs are bad/end thread.

So you can safely say you've never done any drugs?  Ever smoke a cigarette?  You've done a drug.  Ever drink a Coca-Cola?  You've done a drug.  Ever taken an advil?  You've done a drug.  Fact is marijuana is the safest drug on this planet.

I seriously hate when people say marijuana is the safest drug on the planet. Taking an Advil or drinking a can of Coke and then driving? No problem. Smoking a bowl then going driving? You may be fine, but you are impaired and more at risk to injure yourself and/or others. And of course smoking anything is bad on your lungs and can cause cancer. There are negative effects of marijuana! Just like anything, it has to be used in moderation, and nobody should drive or operate machinery after smoking. 

Side not: I'm for it's legalization and do it myself on occastion, but I don't claim its some perfectly safe drug that has never done harm to anyone.
