Random Question #3

[RagnaToad]

Pot is a gateway drug, and in a lot of cases, leads to harder drug use. That's part of the reason why it's illegal to begin with. The other part has to do with serious health problems caused by the drug.

There should be a law that everybody has to be as smart and knowledgeable as me.

Marijuana is only a 'gateway drug' because a user is forced to do something illegal, hence the step to other illegal (and dangerous) drugs is easier.

Alcohol causes way more problems than marijuana.

Marijuana doesn't dehydrate as much as alcohol.
Marijuana can't give you an overdose, thus can't kill you, unlike alcohol.
Marijuana doesn't give you headaches and doesn't poison your body, unlike alcohol.

Alcohol is just socially accepted. But it's still a drug.

If marijuana didn't have to be smoked, it would be hardly unhealthy. No less healthy than eating greasy foods.
