There is a difference between "legal" and "Decriminalization." When people in the US see "legal" they think they can go to Walmart and buy it. I don't want that.

Heroin and Marijuana are both Schedule I drugs in the US but they shouldn't be treated the same. Hell Marijuana shouldn't be a Schedule I drug at all!

Most marijuana smokers consume a lot less cannabis than cigarette smokers consume tobacco, however the harmful effects of smoking marijuana should not be ignored. Marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers typically inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer, when smoking... Scientists have found that regular marijuana smokers can experience the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers do, like frequent acute chest illnesses, increased risk of lung infections, obstructed airways. Marijuana smoke contains three times the amount of tar found in tobacco smoke and 50 percent more carcinogens, it would seem logical to deduce that there is an increased risk of lung cancer for marijuana smokers. However, researchers have not been able to definitively prove such a link because their studies have not been able to adjust for tobacco smoking and other factors that might also increase the risk. Studies linking marijuana smoking to lung cancer have also been limited by selection bias and small sample size. For example, the participants in those studies may have been too young to have developed lung cancer yet. Even though researchers have yet to "prove" a link between smoking pot and lung cancer, regular smokers may want to consider the risk.

I'd love to see your sources on this info. There is more than one way to take Marijuana. You can use a vaporizer, there's drinks, and edibles. There's a comany in Colorado trying to make money off this idea. They're hoping to sell off to big pharma or big alcohol. www.dixieelixirs.com/

Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not smoking.

Again show a news story or something that shows someone having a heart attack from smoking weed...BS
