Drugs and the Government

[Atman]

Well, I'll like to introduce myself in the forums since I've never really put any of my own thoughts down in here. Most of you know me for my thoughts and rants in the MP and Profile Chat.... Due to the immaturity, narrowminded thoughts, and ignorance, I've felt it's best to come in here and evade getting banned again for my own personal thoughts =X

Firstly, I looked through the rules in the Critcial Thinking, and noticed that drugs weren't allowed in here. I'm not going to be discussing methods of using, or anything similar. Actually I'm going to be discussing how drugs effect our government, our lives and the lives of others.

I'll firstly discus the negative effects of Marijuana. Firstly, Marijuana has only one sideffect that I've heard of, throat cancer. That's it. Secondly, there have been no deaths related to Marijuana from only using. There have been deaths which relate to violence concerning Marijuana. Examples: Gangs, mis-deals, and above all the government trying to control it.

With that said, one of the major reasons in my opinion that Marijuana, Shrooms, and other natural drugs (Notice I said "natural", as in not coke, methanol, etc...) are so "bad" for our people is that the government makes it so. They make these fallacies about drugs like Marijuana and include them with HARMFUL drugs like those I've stated earlier. Marijuana doesn't cause traffic accidents under the influence, does not promote horrible decisions like Alcohol does.

If you have anything to add in response to what I've put before you, please do your research and do not base your opinions off of personal experiences with friends or family. Especially if it only causes a biased opinion. If you do, heh then we'll have fun with that. Thank you for your time, and I'm not promoting drugs. Drugs should not be used under the age of 18 in my opinion, since when you're 18 and above you are fully capable of making up your mind, logically deciding whether or not it is something you believe in or choose to do. I'm sure there are a lot of run on sentences, and I appologise =P Thank you yet again for your time, look forward to hearing some sort of responses.
