Then you will be more likely for throat and mouth cancer.

It's a synthetic cannaboid similar to marijuana that is promoting brain cell growth and not marijuana.

How many people clicked on the article? Were you too lazy to do so because you were stoned?

Oh, Amp. You know details are no fun when there's a chance to argue over morality!

I guess marijuana isn't that bad as long as you just do it in your house or whatever and not in public. And there has to be the same punishment for driving high as driving drunk.

On another note the only way I can see it being legalized is if its government controlled like alcohol is in Ontario, Canada.

Cocaine is the best of all the drugs, it just smells so damned good.

Cell growth? Yeah, through cancerous tumors. I don't think that's the growth I want.

As for why other "worse" drugs are legal, note how they tried to criminalize alcohol. It was prohibition, and remains the only clause ever put into the constitution restricting people's rights. It's also the only clause to ever be repealed, because it didn't work. That's why marijuana isn't legal- once you do so, there's no turning back. There've been studies that claim both directions, yet I have to say that the more credible ones are the ones that show the negative effects. Potheads only look at the ones that suit their wants.

How do you feel about the fact that many people become addicted to their prescribed medication to handle life. Is that really any better? Are people taking other anti-depressants any more difficult to control?

I am saying from a legal stand point, they have no reason not to. That is the wallet speaking.

Now my brain says otherwie, I would much prefer we(as a peoples) would learn that you can improve your health with activity and the proper diet. I do not like the concept of people taking over and under the counter drugs to fix their issues. If you just read the side effects you know it's not worth it. Now if you need to take a medication to stay alive I am all for that, but their are other healthier means for most illnesses)

Very true. I concur with you on most of that, but good luck getting people to be active and have proper diet. There is so many convenient and non healthy solutions readily available and it will be very hard to change the pill solution. Especially since people think doctors and the FDA are our friends and that these solutions are good ones(instead of the money signs they see us as).
