Also, that "stimulating" effect is temporary and is outweighed by all the negative effects, in my opinion.

Gonna have to stop you on that one, yes there have been many marijuana related deaths, just go Google it. I found many examples just by doing that alone. It's simply common sense.

I have read more of what I found, you can't die from one use alone, but it's a cumulative overdose. Also, he said marijuana related deaths, I'd say that that counts.

Its almost impossible to actually attribute any death to marijuana. And, in case you are wondering, it is probably physically impossible to OD on marijuana. It requires either that you smoke your body weight or twice your body weight in one hour.

I thought it was here: http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/
But it seems that I was mistaken. That is still a useful sight though.

That says that it is a 1gram per Kg to OD. That doesn't sound right to me, but it still makes it virtually impossible to do.

Darn, I can't quite grasp what you're trying to say.

According to the second link, for every 1 Kg you weigh you have to smoke 1 gram of marijuana to overdose.

I was referring to when you said:

So let's see... If someone weighs 150 pounds... 68.2 kilograms... So a person who weighs 150 pounds would have to smoke about 68.2 grams of marijuana... How much is that? A little or a lot? But let's not forget that a person smoking pot would likely be using other drugs as well.

Either way, I'm still against marijuana, or any other drug of it's category. Particularly because of the large destructive role they have played in my family for generations, including my own two brothers. I believe your bodies are fine just the way they are, not to mention magnificent and fascinating.

Also, this is officially my 100th post, so yay!

Oh, I meant our bodies, not your bodies. God, that sounds really creepy.

Oh, and let's not forget my father while I'm at it. Don't want me to make a list of the things he's done? Well too bad.

It started when he began abusing prescription drugs, and it all went downhill from there, for my entire family. He stopped working, wasting all the money for our family on more and more drugs. Soon my parents started fighting, so my mother gathered up all the money she had and sent me and my brothers back to Washington to my grandparents. After four months, my mother was finally able to follow. My father had taken over three quarters of our money and what we owned, and even though they got divorced and the court decided that he was required by law to send us support money, he never did. Months later, we heard that he had gotten together with another woman, and that she woke up one morning in a hotel with everything she owned stolen by my father. But that's not all, she was pregnant. My father was now a fugitive of the law, and we never heard about him since then. Although the amount of drugs he was taking has most likely killed him by now. And somewhere along the line, both of my brothers were homeless and living off of one can of cold beans a day. And as for me, I never got to complete my childhood, half of it was ripped out of my arms because of drugs. I never quite got to experience innocence and just be a kid.

But now, my family is finally back together again, with the exception of that bastard you-know-who.

So as you can see, I have a pretty strong opinion on the matter.

So... why specifically are they making Marijuana illegal? Isn't it our right to do whatever we want to do to our bodies? Why don't they legalize Marijuana for private (not in public), single, and personal use only?

Hmm... I'm surprised no one has said anything at all about my post here.

No one else has anything else to say about this topic? Wow :/
