They don't define rot your brain very well, it's very generic labeling despite it from an article I don't believe everything the internet says. I am for it, for recreational and everything else, for the fact it keeps the people who should be in jail without putting minors or other people who don't belong in jail in prison for a very small possession charge. I had personal friends had to fend for their lives and get acclamated to prison life and having a felony for marijuana and it's not fair that the federal law means nothing as in enforcement it's just a blanket.

Rather marijuana was banned originally not for health reasons, but it was linked to communism in the 1920's. Not even joking, it's weird when you read history that marijuana, cocaine, and opium not heroine, but just opium were legal in the US way before this war on drugs. This war on drugs is political and socio economical by nature from the get go.

From communism to healthcare, from it leading you to go to eventually to heroin.
In truth, that's just ignorant. It's the person who chooses to do those drugs get into that life style even teenagers now a days at least what I'm exposed to know that when I was in highschool. People don't smoke marijuana and decide in a month to do coke. I mean some people do, but they are the really naive people who don't understand what damage drugs can do.

I'm not saying you should do them. Like I know from personal experience that, it's your own choice and your body you should know the risks before doing them. It is the same for prescription pills which I stopped taking, I don't take psych meds. I refuse to, they would have to force it in me. I've seen more damage done both by harder drugs that are illegal and psych meds all the time than marijuana.

The only thing that can be harmful is mental health, some people can't take the hallucinatory properties of the THC and for me I can't take the over powering dopamine. Which dopamine can cause hallucinations from other inhibitors and psych drugs that are serotonin inducers for like anti depressants and some anti psychotics. I find some useful purposes of the medical stuff, but I find it's a bit too early. It surely works, but our medical treatments must get better in time before jumping wagon all the way.

I want to add, that in my state they are talking about legalizing it here on this year's ballot, but I find why this stuff is still illegal in many states still. Is because it's ignorance pure ignorance of what this society teaches and shoves away. It's not how things are what you here in school all the time, and I didn't learn that from doing marijuana. I read a lot.

Marijauna like anything you can smoke puts strain on the lungs, because you are smoking. Not that it's the drug itself, it's no different if it's tobacco, synthetic tobacco, hookahs, and meth, crack whatever smokable stuff.

The other thing marijauna is wayy safer than alcohol. I'd rather see smoking bars with weed, than more drunk people getting in wrecks. You can be too baked to drive, it's kinda scary when someone who is operating the vehicle is kinda zoned out. Not that he can't see road or impaired his mind wanders and freaks out at inappropriate times.

My last point is that, it will cut funding money to fulling this drug cartel war. I find it kinda strange we are technically arming these cartels from the south american countries "unintentionally". I won't go into conspiracies and don't believe in them, but I do find that weird how our weapons are shipped to them to fight the drugs that are coming into our land. You see that if you legalize weed, you prevent a lot of drug related death's and injuries from bad drug deals in very populated urban areas. Personal experience as well.

Despite me not having a chart or a graph or that type of proof doesn't mean it doesnt' happen all the time. We have a lot of shootings from drug deals as setups to kill off clientel, you go to the dealer buy a bag of weed and next thing you know your body got shot and hauled into a dumpster or a creek to get dropped off at. This definitely happens in my city. I just stopped ignoring what's really happening first hand and seeing it rather than saying, "oh it's bad for you." hiding behind closed doors from old world views that were very skewed from the get go.

That's my two cents.
