With legalization of soft drugs, the number of accidents dramatically increased, including cases with children. Also, number of crimes committed in inadequate state increases.
Based on the statistic: sale of so-called "medical marijuana" remained stable, whereas the level of implementation of "recreational drugs" (which not used for medical reasons, and for fun or because of the resulting dependence) continues to grow. Number of "dependent" smokers in Colorado exceeds the level of all over the country (semi-annual turnover was in this state of 130 tonnes of cannabis). According to the study, 487 thousand. Persons over 21 years - it is about 9% of the state's population - use cannabis at least once a month

At a time when smoking legal tobacco products is becoming more restrictive they want to make it legal to inhale a noxious weed that makes you stupid as well as gives you lung cancer.

Interestingly enough, studies have been done by several medical groups concerning this very issue.
Know what they found? If you smoked cigarettes only, you were 21 times more likely to get lung cancer than a person who didn't smoke at all.
If you smoked cannabis only, you were 0.93 to 0.75 percent as likely to develop lung cancer than someone who didn't smoke at all.
And..............fwiw..................alcohol can make a person MUCH stupider than cannabis ever will.
Additionally, drink enough alcohol for a long enough time, and you can become physically dependent on it. You can't become physically addicted to cannabis.
And.............before you pull out the psychological addiction card, remember that people become psychologically addicted to shopping, gambling, other people (it's called co-dependency), video games, etc. Remember when the Blackberry came out and people started calling it "Crackberry" because there were so many who had one that couldn't do without it. Same thing now with smart phones.

I'm an ex-smoker (smoked for many years) and a Coloradan. Today's pot can't really be considered "soft drugs" anymore. It's far more potent than the stuff we got in days gone by. I can't speak for anyone else but I can attest to the fact that I DID grow dependent upon pot and I can also testify to the fact that I made a lot more mistakes while high than I did otherwise. We hear news stories pretty often around here of kids (and adults) actually overdosing on pot edibles.
I sell some products to one of Denver's biggest pot growers and I know the owner (an instant multi-millionaire). He tells me that the stuff they grow is "one-hit" stuff and that smoking too much more than that can cause hallucinations and acute paranoia in some cases. He strongly recommends smoking in very small quantities. I appreciated his candor and honesty. He wants to keep his business legitimate and legal so as to not give it a bad name.

To say nothing of alcohol makes people aggressive and violent, whereas cannabis makes people mellow and crave junkfood.
Plus, you can die on the spot drinking too much alcohol. Last I heard there's no toxic level for THC. Might freak out a bit but that's all.

I'm an ex-smoker (smoked for many years) and a Coloradan. Today's pot can't really be considered "soft drugs" anymore. It's far more potent than the stuff we got in days gone by.

If you were dependent on cannabis, then it was a psychological dependence, not a physical one. Cannabis has been proven by many medical societies to be not physically addictive.
But...........like I said further up, people can become psychologically dependent on almost anything.
By the way.................did you ever consider that the current crops we grow today are better and "stronger" (in that they have a higher yield) than crops even 100 years ago?
Alcohol is far more harmful than marijuana.

It was a dependence. My body liked it as well as my mind. I agree that alcohol is likely more dangerous but that's not a good reason to smoke pot.

First hand knowledge of the beneficial use of marijuana for relief of nausea and pain in cancer patients leads me to believe it should at least be decriminalized. Complete understanding of taxation and potential state revenues leads me to believe it should be legalized. Complete understanding of the cash cow it represents to the lawyers and law enforcement entities currently involved in the 'war on drugs' and the defense of 'being-high crimes and misdemeanors' makes me understand that neither is likely to happen.

Can you describe the physical symptoms that you suffered when you quit smoking?
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages imo. Like alcohol, people who can't handle it should stay away from it, but the benefits of using marijuana should not be denied to those who choose to use it because some people have addictive personalities. If we did that with everything else, there would be no alcohol, no pain killers, no junk food. The list goes on.

Can you describe the physical symptoms that you suffered when you quit smoking?
Certainly nothing as drastic as a heroin withdrawal but since I was also a heavy drinker at the time and I quit reefer before I quit drinking (daily) I can't really remember what I felt physically or emotionally. I was a "black out" drinker. I can tell you about the physical symptoms of alcohol withdrawal but that's another subject. Nevertheless, even to this day (almost 30 years later) I get an occasional urge to smoke a joint. I won't, though, because I have an addictive nature.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Smoking a joint a day is just as bad for you as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, a study from New Zealand indicates.
Smoking a joint a day for one year boosted the likelihood of developing lung cancer by 8 percent, Dr. Richard Beasley of the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand in Wellington and colleagues found, while cigarette smokers' risk increased by 7 percent for every year that they smoked a pack a day. The heaviest pot smokers were at nearly six-fold greater risk of lung cancer compared to people who didn't smoke marijuana.
Can marijuana cause cancer?
Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke. Examination of human lung tissue that had been exposed to marijuana smoke over a long period of time in a laboratory showed cellular changes called metaplasia that are considered precancerous. In laboratory test, the tars from marijuana smoke have produced tumors when applied to animal skin. These studies suggest that it is likely that marijuana may cause cancer if used for a number of years.
Relatively heavy smoking of marijuana may as much as double the risk of someone contracting lung cancer, suggests a new, Canadian-led study that adds nuance to the debates over medical marijuana and outright legalization.
August 18, 1998
WASHINGTON (CNN)-- In the first study of its kind, researchers found that smokers of marijuana and crack cocaine show the same kinds of precancerous conditions caused by smoking tobacco. ...
Dr. Sanford Barsky, co-author of the study and a member of the University of California, Los Angeles' Jonnson Comprehensive Cancer Center, said he was not surprised by the findings. He said any substance that is inhaled, regardless of chemical makeup, releases carcinogens into the lungs and throat.
