The issue of marijuana has been another thing on my mind lately. I don’t see how people can claim they drive better high then they do normally. To me weed is just alcohol you smoke. It impairs your judgment and alters your mind. I am all for the legalization but I also see so many faults in the uneducated kids arguments to legalize. They do not take into account the memory lapse you get while high and the effect that has on driving. Getting high can be a recreational activity for some yet just like beer and liquor it can become an addiction and it really can lead to worse drugs. Most teens who chant “legalize it, legalize it” have no idea what they are really saying, they are just following the social norm set by their peers. If you are going to make an intelligent argument for the legalization then you get listened to, if not you just add to the reasons not to legalize it, because people know you will abuse it. If you can’t make a good point other than, its not bad for you, shut the hell up and sit down you are only helping those opposed. By following the cool thing to do or say people like that only hurt those of us who actually have something half way intelligent to say. So they need to stop making it so easy to stereotype people in favor to legalization. |

I've known some people who claim they think more clearly and can focus when on marijuana, especially for those who have hyperactivity/anxiety/ADD, though this is certainly not true across the board. | |
