There are a lot of good arguments on both sides of the Marijuana legalization issue. It now seems to be legal or nearly legal in two states and it seems more states are legalizing it for its medical benefits all the time. I think we need to look at it in a totally rational and scientific way.
I think this is the question a scientist would ask; Is Marijuana unhealthy and a menace to society?
We know with out a doubt that too much nicotine and alcohol will kill you. But what about Marijuana?
Here is what I think a doctor or scientist should do;
Marijuana has been illegal for over 70 years. I know for a fact there are people out there that have smoked marijuana regularly for at least 30 years or more. We should find 100 of them and compare them with 100 people who have never smoked pot, same age group, same income level. How they treat their families, jobs, mental health, physical health every aspect of their lives should be compared.
I think this would give us some great statistics to compare and see how dangerous marijuana really is.
"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. "
