stereo5,
You are not helping your cause. Many drugs are extracts of plants, and other life forms. That it starts as a weed does not negate that it has drugs in it. That statement is a sign of weakness.
I don't see anyone in this threat extolling the virtues of alcohol consumption as an elixir of life. I think most are aware of the dangers of alcohol, but alcoholics will be the first to say they don't have a problem. Some success in life is not evidence of never using drugs. Who knows what you could have achieved without, or perhaps the weed is masking an underlying never treated issue.
With odd exception, I don't see anyone suggesting more legal implications for Cannabis use. What most are saying, is ignore the facts at your own peril. Cannabis is essentially a drug, that is why you smoke it after all, and while it may make you mellow, for some people it becomes a problem, even an addiction, and there is growing evidence of damage to developing brains. Like alcohol, moderation, and be aware of the risk, don't pretend they don't exist. stereo5, your outbursts, are supporting my argument.
