See all 46 CommentsMarijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. Around 50,000 people die each year from alcohol poisoning. Similarly, more than 400,000 deaths each year are attributed to tobacco smoking. By comparison, marijuana is nontoxic and cannot cause death by overdose. According to the prestigious European medical journal, The Lancet, "The smoking of cannabis, even long-term, is not harmful to health. ... It would be reasonable to judge cannabis as less of a threat ... than alcohol or tobacco." from NORML
It's time to change the laws...
It seems that the government scares our families that if we use Marijuana we will start using having drugs. Now a day's live become over controlled by the government media bombarding us with what they want us to know, everywhere you go is with cameras and security, and all we just want to do is go to work, after works smoke some Marijuana with our friends have a good time maybe watch a movies, than wake up for work again and start a new day I do not see anything bad in this. And I can assure you that Marijuana does not hold u back from your career I have an amazing career it just depends on the person and to keep a balance in life. Everything in life can be used bad a wrong, but why always the bad is mentioned in the media, guess people love more to watch bad things in the media now a day life's, every were u turn on the news, u see WAR, ACCIDENTS, BAD NEWS always negative things, I think these things need to be more controlled and more balanced because there are some good people out there that are making amazing things but it is not important for the media anymore.
