There is no war on drugs.
The war on Weed was started as a War on Hispanics and the War on Crack is nothing more than a War on Blacks. The war against opiates is fueled by fear of middle easteners, as the vast majority of of the opium comes from the ME.
And still again to repeat: It has been my experience that those who feel compelled to deny a problem become increasingly hostile, belligerant, insulting, and irrational not to mention they really struggle to recall words that they think will sting like anything. (The potheads would probably come up with even better ones if their brains weren't so fried, but oh well. . . . )

Beer, Cigarettes & Marijuana -- What's the difference?

Interesting. It's been my experience that those who concern themselves with the personal choices of others are very insecure and generally unpleasant to be around.
Have any drinks lately?

I have a glass of wine on occasion, and I am a reformed cigarette smoker.
But those who are intellectually honest would see that I at no time have presumed to concern myself with the personal choices of any. I rather have concerned myself with the thesis of the thread and have provided the information that I have regarding the difference between marijuana smoking, tobacco smoking, and alcohol consumed in the form of beer.
You and a few others don't like the information I provided. That's your prerogative as is your opinion that I am insecure and unpleasant to be around. I accept that as your opinion. I also take it as a good excuse to extricate myself from the quite childish and stupid turn this debate has taken considering that the rest of you are so tolerant and accommodating and objective and pleasant and all.
Do have a good day.
To everybody else, I am quite confident that the information I have posted is essentially accurate. Beer in moderation or an occasional cigarette or a joint now and then isn't going to have any permanent adverse affects on anybody. But there is a risk of increasing dependency and addiction in all leading to abuse of each substance, and that rarely is without consequence.
Fox posts from the agency tasked with the War on Minorities- er, War on Drugs- and accuses others of using biased sources?
Can you imagine how much easier the DEA's job would be if cannabis was legalized? I can imagine that they would relish the idea of having one less substance to track, monitor, and enforce.
Your last paragraph is total bullshit, take it from someone who was a drug and alcohol counselor who has worked in the field for over 8 years.
Additionally, there is ZERO actual medical data to suggest that it is possible to become addicted to cannabis.
There is also ZERO data for overdose from smoked cannabis.
You are still full of shit Faux Failure.

I'd argue that the war on opiates targeted East Asians... opium in particular was associated with Chinese immigrants when they were part of America's pariah class.
Hello, I'm Dr. Allen Battle, a psychologist with UT Medical Group and professor of psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Today we are talking about addictions.
Q: Is marijuana addictive?
Dr. Battle: No, marijuana is not addictive. It isn't addictive because the active ingredient in it, THC, does not become a part of the body chemistry. So that then, that body, would be dependent on it just as it is dependent on water or food. That is the essence of addition; it is physiological!
Gambling, food, sex, are not addictive. To use the word addiction in connection with these activities is to pervert the meaning of the word addiction. These things can become obsessions, that is to say, thoughts that repeat and repeat in spite of the individual not desiring to have them. They can become compulsions, in which the individual must act upon those thoughts. They can become habitual. They may be used as a way of escaping from problems in the here and now. But none of these things are physiological.

It is very simple, Marijuana is not physcially addicting.
And the only site you will find saying so, are government run.
Beer, Cigarettes & Marijuana -- What's the difference?
That and opiates are highly addictive and easily lethal.

True, but addictiveness and lethality don't seem to factor in to many of the government's drug-related decisions. Looking at the legal penalties for possession of certain drugs tells me that much. One gram of ecstasy (pure or impure), which seems relatively harmless compared to most recreational drugs, will earn you the same sentence as a fucking kilogram of marijuana. A fucking kilogram. If you smoke an eighth a week, that's enough to last you well over five years. Then there's the enormous, racist disparity between crack and powder cocaine penalties...
Why is it illegal? Because of racist greedy assholes who are narrow minded .

I understand the greedy part...but why is this racial?
