Are you sure you didn't light up already? I haven't once said that pot was bad for you. I DONT CARE !!!!!! I wanna know why YOU like it !
Now let's hear about the elephants.
Again, YOU asked "what is so good about pot".
I assume no responsibility for your inability to cope with the answers provided. You can try to guess the motivation of people you will never meet to your hearts content. This is why it might help you to avoid the rhetoric and focus on the facts..
you know..
like how you've never heard of, or will find, a case of marijuana overdose.
too bad the same can't be said for toothpaste, eh?

there you go.. a little something that you can use to compare with all those marijuana overdoses happening all the time. I'm sure both of those websites will have a plethora of info on what to do after OD'ing on pot too.
It's just like any other thing we allow ourselves to do that may not be as healthy as a rice cake and a bottle of water. Sure, it would be less risky to ban alcohol too. look how that turned out. Tobacco? Sugar? Caffiene?
facts.. neat, aren't they?
you asked what was so good about pot and I've been having fun letting you know, exactly, what that is.
Now, what have you learned today?
LMAO--stop--your killing me--I'm gonna have an overdose of someone defending the safety of pot !!!!
What's so good about pot ? I would hope that if our society decide to make something legal it will be of some benefit to society.
Indeed, marijuana could be the new cash crop to aid failing tobacco farmers and a source for new sin taxes. It's about as natural as a commodity can get. It would stimulate a brand new market which should give capitolists a raging hardon. Legalization would relieve crowded prisons and save tax dollars spent on government agencies whose purpose seems to be perpetuating it's own income by ignoring the reality of pot compared to drugs you'll see advertised on TV tonight. I could go on but it seems we are about to talk about zoos and elephants or something.
Contrasting government figures for traditional crops -- like corn and wheat -- against the study's projections for marijuana production, the report cites marijuana as the top cash crop in 12 states and among the top three cash crops in 30.
A 2005 analysis by Harvard visiting professor Jeffrey Miron estimates that if the United States legalized marijuana, the country would save $7.7 billion in law enforcement costs and could generated as much as $6.2 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like alcohol or tobacco.
In other words, You want to use pot legally because it's your right to use what you want to feel good ?
Not at all. I was merely pointing out that pharmaceutical companies have a very high stake in keeping certain illicit drugs from being legalized. That and, as Shogun said, there are fewer side effects with marijuana than a lot, if not all, psych meds. My limited knowledge of the effects of anti-depressants (my wife takes 2 or 3 different types) compared to my vast knowledge of the effects of pot (my recreational use and some reading) makes me think that very few people who suffer from depression would find it useful.
Just for the record, I would like to see it legalized for the medicinal reasons we've all read and heard about (doesn't Montel Williams smoke it for the pain he suffers? MS, I think) and because I just really enjoy smoking the stuff.
It's the number one crop in 12. In the top 3 of 30 states.

The cost it will save us in taxes:
So instead of costing us $7.7 Billion a year it would be putting $6.2 into the tax base.
If it's the number one cash crop why in the hell is it illegal?
Don't be an idiot--any "savings" seen by government would be immediately swallowed up by some other silly ass expenditure. Just admit it. You want to use what appears to be a relatively safe substance to alter your state of mind.
And what costs we save by having liquor legal vs how much it would cost if it was outlawed.
Oh wait... We've already done that. DIDN'T work!!!
Oh and those numbers are just marijuana not the other drugs figured into them.
But if they did they would be safe because you can't overdose on it.
oh no not me...
I haven't nursed in nearly 2 years.
I don't recall saying that I thought alcohol was any better of an idea than pot. I merely asked what was good about pot. I was probably out of line because this thread is about the LAW--not the drug. I mean no one here touches the stuff right?
