-marijuana intoxication can cause distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, and problems with learning and memory

this is also true for alcohol use, so i guess we should make a losing drug war on that too

-Long-term marijuana abusers trying to quit report withdrawal symptoms including: irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and drug craving

wrong on all counts. the only "decreased appitite" you have is lack of munchies.

-A number of studies have shown an association between chronic marijuana use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia

from when? in the 1960's? try looking at new studies me boy-o. marijuana has actually be PROVEN to do the exact opposite of what your saying

-marijuana smoke contains 50-70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke

again wrong, marijuana smoke contains no more conrcinogen's than standing next to a pile of burning leaves. any plant matter smoke is going to have them. tobacco smoke (from a pipe) has about the same amount, where as cigarettes have atleast 10x more.

don't buy into all the government slander of this drug, if it's so dangerous why does the US government have the patient on all medical use of the drug?

try educating yourself before trying to act smart, it just makes you look like G.W. Bush.

also, i would like to add i would rather smoke a plant than take a pill designed by these pharmaceutical company's that release all these medications that seem to be causing alot of issues now a days. how many commercials have you seen from a law office "if you have taken this drug and have suffered these symptoms, you can get a shit load of money"?
