if so, it should be banned unless a doctor prescribes it on a case by case basis to help with certain medical conditions.

in most cases, banned i think.

You can't even be bothered to click on a link. If you had any credibility, it's long gone now. Thanks for playing Kefka.

You've yet to mention your age or where you are from, although you suggested a golden age in which this was a non-issue before.

i'm not going to address the oxygen claim.

Caffeine isn't comparable in terms of its danger to marijuana. Marijuana is way more dangerous.

Which is why caffeine kills more people per year than marijuana and contributes to more health problems in the long run?

its easier to get hold of caffeine because caffeine is legal.

If marijuana were legal and as widespread, it would kill more. Also, if you compare the long-term effects Marijuana is much more serious; it actually damages the brains and the cells and may have links to cancer.

This is like saying knives are more dangerous than guns because knives kill more people every year than guns do. Never mind that in most of the world guns are banned or what an individual gun can do compared to an individual knife.

Imo, yes, because it's none of the government's business as to what I put into my own body. It's also less harmful than alcohol, and it's not possible to become physically addicted to marijuana (which is what everyone is worried about when people use drugs).

What do you think, and why?

This, but it should only be sold at provincial-owned stores with the profits going to what the government needs. Basically like how provincial governments operate stores selling alcoholic products in Canada.

Again how old are you and when were things better? You're ignoring this I suppose. But you're the one to have brought it up. And if you want to talk Colorado or Washington, you'd better talk to someone from at least one of those states.

Or, you know... skirt around the issue.

I find it hilarious that you say marijuana is dangerous and addictive, when it flat out isn't.

And even if it was...who cares? Your knee-jerk "addictive=ban" is illogical.

When you disregard or pervert logic, anything can be painted "logical".
