Now, these facts are from the Institute of Medicine. In a study of drug users, only 9% got dependant (mentally) to weed. With Tobacco, 32%, alchol 15%. Q: Does marijuana lead to harder drugs? A: "It does not appear to be a gateway drug to the extent that it is the cause or even that it is the most significant predictor of serious drug abuse; that is, care must be taken not to attribute cause to association." Q: Is marijuana more dangerous than tobacco? A: "Given a cigarette of comparable weight, as much as four times the amount of tar can be deposited in the lungs of marijuana smokers as in the lungs of tobacco smokers. ... However, a marijuana cigarette smoked recreationally typically is not packed as tightly as a tobacco cigarette, and the smokable substance is about half that in a tobacco cigarette. In addition, tobacco smokers generally smoke considerably more cigarettes per day than do marijuana smokers." Q: Do criminal penalties deter marijuana use? A: "There is little evidence that decriminalization of marijuana use necessarily leads to a substantial increase in marijuana use." Theres much more, but I selected somre more important facts.

I dunno about legalizing, but decriminalization is the way to go! Too bad you guys elected a republican  We have liberals up here and they're pushing for decriminalization.

I really doubt Kerry had that on his 'plan'. Some really far 'lefters' may consider it, but none that will get elected. Its actually saddening. |
