Should Marijuana be Legal in the USA?

[Piotr]

theres no product that works for everyone except food

As a father of 4yo who is allergic to nuts, milk, eggs, soya - I call a lie on this one ;p

That experiment was kind of the same thing as water.  If you drink enough water, you die from water poisoning.  But that isn't likely.  It's more likely that that water will carry toxins into your system.

When they're smoke it (not by any other means) they get more carcinogens into their system than when they smoke tobacco which is bad.  If they do it to block out pain, instead of just recreation, they will continue to abuse it to keep the pain away.  What am i saying that isn't true, other you have a problem with it.  It seemed that your last comment had nothing to do with what I was saying.

where are the facts to support this?? not your opinions or a blog? facts? my last comment was mostly referencing the comment made about a pallet falling on you being the only way to kill you, so i was responding to that. then i was responding to your statements that are all presented as fact even though they are opinion. im not trying to jump at you taysby. the point i am trying to make is marijuana has not been studied enough to make such bold statements about. unless you have facts, where is the information that smoking marijuana provides more carcinogens then tobacco? so anyone who takes any kind of medication for pain is a drug abuser, taysby? come on we both know thats not true. some percentage (neither of us know what it is) will abuse marijuana, and some will not.

Both sides are making points, but I see very little blue text (links). The debate will be far more productive and also more enjoyable if you find sources for your claims. Otherwise it's really just one person's opinion against the other!

Also props to everyone on being courteous. Keeping relationships friendly is more important than citing sources!

Id like to point out there is still nothing that has ever shown marijuana is cause of death.
Almost 100 years and no cause of death due to Thc.

And although  correlation does not prove causation:

Have a friend on FB who just shared this posting of his friend who he has been providing cannabis oil to:

"Nick Charles

i agree and this is the point i am trying to make. i would love to be citing my sources but they dont exist yet. not enough research has been done to prove marijuana is good or bad or both. so sources are few and far between.

Some people smoke cigaretts everyday and live log lives.  Most people don't though.
I'm sure that's 100% true though! haven't looked at it yet.

It is also a Wikipedia article. Most colleges and universities do not accept Wikipedia as a source, as the information contained therein can be edited by anyone and cannot be readily verified.

Yes, it can. Statistically proven to be 95% accurate, the most accurate internet source.

I know that lol. Just playing the Devil's Advocate here, stating that because it an user-based and edited site, a lot of traditional places will not accept what is presented there. Had a big class debate about it. Eventually the professor came to the compromise where she would not accept Wikipedia as a reference source, as per school regulations, but she would accept references given at the end of a Wikipedia, as long as we did not state the Wikipedia information.

My old LA teacher broke the school rules annually and let us use Wikipedia, and we were the top class in my whole school yearly, lol. It helps.

WIKIPEDIA CANNOT BE EDITED BY ANYONE

IF YOU TRY AND EDIT WIKIPEDIA IT WONT STAY THAT WAY

THERE ARE 'EMPLOYEES' WHO VERIFY CHANGES BEFORE THEY ARE FINALIZED

For some reason teachers see an 'edit' button and get butthurt because they cant understand that simply clicking that button wont do anything, if you edit wikipedia it doesnt change the whole site, otherwise every page would be 'skicuhe penis boner'

Ive used wikipedia as a source for most everything ive ever done and it has yet to misguide me, its an amazingly reliable source if 'professors' would get their heads out of their hineys

Kid with autism has strained named after him after "it saved his life" according to Mother.

Once again no factual proof but a lot of coincidence with marijuana being beneficial

Also as far as smoking: people have been smoking herbs for centuries, it is apart of our human culture.
