That's absurd. The pot that exists today is strong enough to knock you on your ass after three or four hits. Other popular drugs like coke, H or ecstasy are dangerous and impair with even slight dosage variations.

Somehow I think we're getting into an area where you are vastly under informed.

Interesting area for study.

But of course the government scotches any research intended to study the effects of pot, and because you can't legally get it without a research permit, they have a lock on all research. Will only allow studies that are sure to show what they want shown. Refuse any studies that might show benefits or lack of hazards.

In this area, they have as much of a lock on freedom of thought and resarch as any dictator anywhere.
