Firstly you don't hear people getting buzzed on Cannabis and going home to beat their partners, however many alcohol drinkers become violent. Secondly, Cannabis has been known for centuries to be a relaxant, an aid in meditation, and now also is being used to medicine.
Hemp creams and clothes are some of the best ever.
As long as the person who is using the drug is responsible enough to know when and how much is appropriate for themselves, and not getting stupidly zonked out of their brains there isn't a lot of harm in it.
Cigarettes are legal, cause heart disease, cancer, strokes, birth defects yet they are seen as less harmful than cannabis?
This is a very small comparison of the 3 evils cannabis, alcohol, and cigarettes.
In reality a totally healthy person shouldn't do any of them, but in this high stress society that people are living in, I don't think theres much harm in relaxing with cannabis once in a while.
I used to smoke it a lot when i was a teenager, I didn't ever touch pills, or other drugs. I also drank alcohol a lot, the latter usually got me into unhealthy predicaments, thankfully my dad has got us used to drinking when we were young lol, (learn to drink when ur at home and young, so when u are older you can handle your drink theory).
I smoked from 14 till 17 every single day!!! I literally aced all my exams at school and got into very good colleges, and then again universities. It didn't in any way obstruct my learning or memory. I do know people that it did affect, that went schitzo, that went loopy, moved onto crack cocain etc... but for me, it was always a temporary thing, just to chill with. I haven't smoked any weed for almost 10 years now.. and between the ages of 17 to 21 I smoked maybe once a month. I finally just stopped because I felt like it. This goes for everything in life, if you have a strong character which i believe I have, you can experience everything in moderation.

I see, you ment it that way. Anyway, they're all still pretty pointless. Tbh, I'm not the type of guy that goes to raves or to clubs, but that's not what most people do where I live. Alcohol I use more because of the social things, makes you talk and etc. I usually don't act belligerent after drinking, probably because I can handle more than you can. Anyways, while I'm not against weed and smoke it once in a while I think that the pro-Cannabis side should improve their arguements and such. There's a tendency to repeat weak/rhetoric arguements over and over again. Ron Paul has made a lot of good arguments. That's not the problem, the problem is the other side will always come up with baseless conspiracies, mind control isn't easy to get rid of.

But it sorta sucks ya need alchohol to be social over there..but yeah you probably could out-drink me now, my hard-drinking days are way past me. (Back when I could outdrink rhinos)

Well, it's not necessary for us to drink alcohol to be social, it does help however and of course it's not the only reason, but there's a large drinking culture in Scandinavia. About the outdrinking thing, I was only teasing, I can handle larger amounts of alcohol than the average person can though I've never been the type of person to overdo it.

Alcohol would cause way more damage than weed. If consumed constantly compared to "pothead" smoking.

lol you cant quit weed, its for life.. like herpes..
in my area its a social thing, you go to someones house instead of getting you a beer they pack you a cone (though beers may also be included lol) so its hard to totally quit, i can only go down to being an occasional smoker. its easier to get here then a pizza delivery. Call the dealer and pizza hut at the same time and the weed will get to you first and you'll be stoned by the time the pizza comes lol

I don't smoke all the time so I never had to call an actual dealer; the weed is so available you'd think it grows in people's backyards. Which is why the laws against marijuana are so useless.

Personally I am not a big fan of these sort of escape mechanisms and denial of personal responsibility, but... I've come around to the point that weed is no worse than alcohol, and fuck it, we should bring back shamans instead of having to go through dealers for profit ... the shamans at least led people to a higher plateau of awareness Mind you, for me personally better dead than a pothead.

so instead of cramming before exams you guys got high and had a waterfight, that should have improved your grades

I got really good grades man!... got into all the colleges and Unis that I wanted after those exams! Got higher than the school average. I failed design n technology though... LOL I don't see the point in cramming, if u study properly throughout the year, u don't need to cram, just read ur notes n go for it. The illusion weed gives me is : Life is very funny, I enjoy it, I have a great time

I've come around to the point that weed is no worse than alcohol, and f**k it, we should bring back shamans instead of having to go through dealers for profit ... the shamans at least led people to a higher plateau of awareness Mind you, for me personally better dead than a pothead. Alcohol makes people crazy, weed calms you down so I don't even see the point in saying weed is no worse than alcohol. You can't compare them.
