You missed the point -- and your conclusions are based upon your assumptions not mine. The fact is grass causes a perversion of reality which in turn leads to non-adaptive behavior. The half-life of marijuana’s influence on the mind is another, frequently overlooked, consideration. The physiological/neurological affects from pot-smoking are well documented just like they are for alcohol. Drugs of this sort may help "relieve stress" which by definition suggests a relative inability to adapt to an increasingly stressful environment; and I'm fine with that. Anyway, who was talking about toxicity and lethal dosages of Marijuana -- not me? Let me make it perfectly clear, I'm not against legalizing pot, crack, heroin, cocaine nor any other recreational drug that may pop into an addict’s vocabulary. If you OD, well that’s too bad. Just don't ask me to foot the consequential medical costs of your addictions. After all, we are all responsible for the consequences of our own behavior and decisions, right? Although marijuana is a “gateway” drug not everyone chooses to enter that gate. You may enjoy the Yellow Brick Road, but that’s not my life style. :0)
