POT good/bad?

I hear you bud. I'm in the same boat, I'm a working professional that enjoys a bowl after work. No worse in my eyes than a gl of wine or a tail. Those who think it is bad have been brainwashed by government propaganda. It is a fact that marijuana can be used in place of numerous drugs. Drugs that have in fact killed people through overdoses or drug interactions. Pharmaceutical companies are trying soooo hard to keep it illegal and this is a shame. Alcohol has killed far more people and caused far more of societies problems. Cigarettes like you said cause lung problems, the only drawback for pot. It really depends on the person whether or not it leads to harder drugs. I've done about everything in my college years and now I only smoke pot. Same could be said of alcohol. Some are content with a few drinks other binge drink. Pot has not been proven conclusively to kill brain cells. The original claim was done with 4 pot smoking monkeys in the 70's with no control group and the amount ingested was 1000 times more than a normal human would smoke. People need to learn the facts before they demonize pot. It seems to me that the people that say pot is ok are the people that actually do it, those who don't are misinformed and ignorant of their statements.
