Smoking weed is for the weak minded, if you can't handle the stress of the world you need to get your priorities straight. Maybe you even gotta get your prayer on, if that's the case.
Don't be so narrow minded.

Also it's a pretty big red flag when the links on the right say "view images of the apparent success."

I mean come on. This is like those sites that sell you herbal supplements and then at the bottom in tiny print it says "products are not intended to diagnose or treat any illness."

Also, does it show unemployment rates in comparison to non-smokers?

As well as, mental/emotional disabilities or anti-social behavior?

Maybe even, anger issues/violence?

people say weed chills them out, but that's only the case if they have weed at hand, you ever see a fiending pot-head selling all his shit to get high? Getting angry or suicidal due to lack of product?

I've seen all this first hand so theirs never a legitimate excuse for weed use.

I agree. Possession of marijuana should be 10 years in prison and a felony.

Yeah.. theres never a legitimate reason for weed use. Never Ever.
Tell me that when you have glaucoma and the only thing that works for you to relieve eye pressure is Marijuana. I guarantee you'll be sparking up instead of going blind. Then again you may choose blindness [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So you've honestly seen people sell their belongings to go get weed? I never have and I have been smoking for close to 20 years. Did this weed happen to be laced with crack?

Have you -
- Ever seen anyone beat their wife while high? Get into a fist fight with their best friend?
-Ever seen someone kill themselves with a marijuana OD? - I'll answer that one - you can't - it takes approximately 1800 pounds of pot to OD. Smoked in a single sitting. That is a joint the size of a telephone pole stretching 20 miles.
-Ever taken a look at a newspaper. Every drug dealer death you see is either Crack or Heroin or Meth. I can't ever remember reading about a weed dealer being shot in a drive by.

You might also want to check into statistics from the Netherlands. After legalization of Marijuana crime went down, tax revenues went up and the country' production level, the GDP, continued to rise. Imagine that!

You say weed makes you lazy and is used to avoid the world. Is this something you've seen from one or two people in your life so you assume it to be true for everyone? Way to jump to conclusions. Personally I use it for 2 reasons - it helps me to concentrate and focus so that I work better (to each his own I say); alternatively I use it for enjoyment of the feeling it provides.

What a dirty, unproductive weed head I must be by your logic then, eh? Right now I'm taking 4 evening classes to finish my masters degree while working 50-55 hrs a week; in between that it seems like my house always has repairs that spring up. I have a 3.87 cumulative GPA while using Marijuana. Funny part is I took a year off smoking a while back and only managed a 3.6 GPA- in undergrad which is easier than grad school. Weed allows me to focus and work better. Each person is an individual and each situation varies. For some people it may not allow them to optimize their work; for others it does.

Every person I know who smokes marijuana has a job; some also attend college in addition to working.
Does that mean I should assume every marijuana user is more productive than non smokers? Hell no. That would be idiotic to drawn an assumption about millions of people based on some personal observations. Like you seem to have done.

Say what you want about people being weak minded and having the need to put foreign substances into their bodies occasionally to relax but I bet you too choose to drink alcohol. That alters your state of mind and relaxes you but happens to be much deadlier to the human body than Cannabis.

You said "maybe you even need to get your prayer on" - so I can assume from that you're a religious man eh? You believe your Deity, whomever they may be, created earth with all the plants and animals. Does that not include Cannabis?
Man created Alcohol. God created Marijuana.
Who do you trust?
Judge not lest ye be judged.
