I want to know where the fuck you got that statistic. That's ridiculous. You can't measure how many people are killed because of marijuana or cigarettes. Here's what you can say.

Cigarettes put you at a huge risk for lung cancer.
So does pot, but the risk isn't increased by AS MUCH.

But on the flipside, lots of people die every year from people driving under the influence of pot too.

and most of my friends who started smoking weed have gone to higher drugs.
Mostly E, all kids who smoke weed don't agree with weed being a gate way drug, but from my experience, ive seen allot of peoples lives get ruined because they switch to E or acid.


Not to sound stupid, but what's E?

EDIT: Urbandictionary informed me that it is ecstasy
Hmmm, I must be backwards then! I originally started on harder things and after quitting all that I find sitting with a sliff (or two, three...) is quite relaxing.

On the other hand I know a lot of people that have turned into total wasters from it. One of them now a paranoid wreck verging on schizophrenia - but he's had 20+ years of non stop weed smoking, and I guess it's kinda inevitable something like that happening if your on it 24/7.

Oddly enough though the majority of people I know that are on harder drugs are a lot more productive than the weed smokers, and rather than veging out on the couch all day they go to work, and shock horror leave the house!

Don't get me wrong I have a soft spot for drugs, but I also know that the UK's full of enough lazy people. At least right now they have to get off their asses to find a dealer rather than ordering it online from the local supermarket.

I've never touched marijuana my entire life. But I don't think it's nearly as bad as cigarettes. But my situation sure wouldn't benefit from marijuana. People are smoking all around me when I'm waiting for the bus to get to my classes. If it were legal pot they were all smoking instead of cigarettes, I wouldn't be able to concentrate in class because I'd be high every time I got there. XD
EDIT: Of course, second hand cigarette smoke isn't too good for me either.

Nice informed, intelligent, nonbiased or purely insane position there.
Absolutes are a bad idea.
"No matter what"?
What if anyone suspected of smoking marijuana was killed on the spot, if possible in a very graphic, brutal, slow and painful way?

Largely, I think marijuana should be legalized, as well as all illegal drugs.
Evolution goes to work.
First of all, it is, within reasonable means, an absurd attempt to eliminate illicit drug trades and use, with the levels most countries are willing to go to. Furthermore, by making drugs illegal, it is possible for drug dealers to monopolize and gouge customers, (made all the easier by addiction), a practice which could be controlled if it were legalized and regulated. One of the greatest dangers to non-users is the fact that these drug addicts, faced with buying "needed" "products" from a not-necessarily reasonable or reliable dealer, may be forced to turn to crime to fund their habits.
That would be pretty much controlled if these drugs were legalized. You don't often here about people getting mugged so someone can afford hospital care.
Most importantly (imaaaft), the evolutionary perspective. Those persons with addictive personalities, who are likely to succumb to peer pressure, whateverthefsckyouwantthatmakesyoudodrugs, etc, are undoubtedly less likely to succeed in life, are less like to procreate (competently), and will largely weed themselves out.

ok im America we dont kill people for smoking a plant and second it can help you if you are in pain you smoke spme weed and you dont hurt anymore and if it killed you why would they give it to patiences? if you have cancer and it affects you like some people say it does they would die on the spot.
Rephrase that in English and I'll rebut, but not before.
