Nobody will want you to stop the supply on a drug or herb that is healthier than sugar.

CNN: Speed, Ecstasy tied to teen depression - Notably, the authors did not specifically ask the kids about prescription stimulants such as Adderall (also known as amphetamine salts) or Ritalin, both of which are prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and can have amphetamine-like effects when taken in high doses or otherwise misused. Studies have shown that children with ADHD are more prone to depression. When the tenth graders were interviewed again in the eleventh grade, 15% reported symptoms of depression, such as feelings of hopelessness and sadness, loss of appetite, and trouble concentrating (all which marijuana can treat). The fact that using both MDMA and amphetamine increased depression risk more than using either drug alone suggests that the two drugs may interact in harmful ways, the authors note. Although the authors did their best to control for the use of other drugs (including alcohol and marijuana), they can't completely rule out the possibility that such drugs are contributing to the association, Fallu says. – 4.19.2012

CBS: Legal pot presents questions about drugged driving (Angeline Chilton says she can't drive unless she smokes pot. – Yeah I can understand because marijuana doesn’t impair you like alcohol does to hurt your driving abilities. In fact, I drive better high of pot than without; it gives you “patience” or curbing your anxiety. Anybody who is too stoned to drive doesn’t even feel like driving, you just don’t and if so, you are still able to concentrate or focus when driving because your awareness isn’t impaired like alcohol, your awareness is HIGHTENED, that’s why some people get paranoid when high. They are viewing their awareness as paranoia and most feel it's paranoid since for years and most people they are doing something illegal. “Marijuana causes dizziness, slowed reaction time and drivers are more likely to drift and swerve while they're high.” – No that is what happens when you are drunk, not high. Again, being high is more like having a sugar high than being drunk. However, instead of bouncing off walls via ADHD, you are really relaxed! Just so much lies in this article because the risks of crashes are not doubled, they are reduced. How do we know the drug use via 18 percent is marijuana? Alcohol is a drug.

Analysis (other information)
"I am God" people often say? - No you are a creation of God, a creature.
People for the war or illegalization of it may often say "I've seen how bad drugs are and think they should be illegal to keep away from my kids?" Okay so translation, you want to make it more available to your kids on a black market thinking the state can discipline everyone and you can't? You don't care to discipline your own child or yourself, so you want government to do that for you with my tax paying money? Ultimately, no matter how much control or security you think we should have, It's YOU that allows your child to watch TV, use the internet, go to a public school to hear about criminal activity or to be taken care of by criminals themselves, it's YOU that ultimately raise your child, regardless if the state has them the majority of the time. It starts with Education and your education isn't worth a damn thing if you don't stand for the Truth.
I believe we should legalize all drugs like it use to be in this country for over 100 years until the Fed (banking / drug cartel) took over, at least marijuana. Crime and addiction, everything was lower. Making it illegal is what creates the "cool" or rebelling perspective around it especially within entertainment, etc. Ending the War on Drugs doesn't legalize drugs. Bills would still need to be passed at the State level for that. So ending the war on drugs doesn't automatically legalize drugs, it just cuts the spending of the Fed or DEA fighting it and letting local police handle what they already handle via traffic stops, etc.
Ending this war is one of the Top 2 agenda’s towards Freedom in my opinion. Freedom of terrorism as well since Americans have no clue as to how linked they are. All drugs are merely chemicals or substances derived from the natural resources on this earth that all of us should have the freedom to decide whether or not we want to consume them for our own health. We own our bodies and should be able to treat it the way we see fit since it is we who "feels" our health. You want to seek information on something, what it is used for and try it to see if it works for you. You want options and the more options you have the more you create competition and competition will lower the price of everything. It's is big pharma or a few individuals (bankers who launder the drug money) who only benefit from the illegalization of certain drugs because when you prohibit the options of everyone by law, yet still allow it via a black market, you are "legally" shutting down the competition and by nature making the price of ALL drugs to go up, not just the ones you are making illegal. So while people may despise a certain drug and are happy that it is illegal like marijuana or heroin and don't help fight or support to make it legal for others if they wish, they don't realize all that is doing is now raising the price of their preferred drug. Once again it's like the Gestapo, nobody cares because it isn't their drug of choice but don't realize how it still indirectly impacts them.
Do you really want to know how hypocritical we are?
To the prohibition of a few drugs (mostly one in particular – cannabis) compared to the many crap ALL OF US consume daily, either conscious or subconsciously or via ignorance, or merely by simply being lied to, not knowing the truth, not even realizing that or do and refuse to correct it or simply SPEAK IT, speak the truth.
Humanity should want to promote critical thinking, questioning, making yourself smarter, helping you focus which can lead to being richer, more wealthier, better food, more food & better health (all free) & not be dumber which is what our leaders or our masters or the emperor of this corporation that enslaves us (this corrupt system), it’s their desire, what they want, for power – greed for power and are succeeding because WE THE PEOPLE – yes YOU Americans, YOU are supporting their agenda of dumbing you down, hurting your MEMORY, mostly of HISTORY so that we DO repeat it and currently doing as we speak and have done on many issues over and over again – to restrain your ability to have great relationships with friends and family, ability to obtain food & great health care, etc.
………which is why things seem very similar to 2000 years ago Roman Empire and we have not evolved one bit - but devolved and forgot what Jesus really did for us & stood for, along with our founding fathers with America & Freedom)……………..
…..All our (your) dumbing down / poor health or any other way to depopulate the earth, which is being done to us, rarely, if at all from illegal drugs and instead DOES happen with the majority YOU consume on a daily basis - their LEGAL DRUGS (anything junk food, processed & not whole foods, man made (not from nature = plants or animals as ONE ingridient - whole foods), diet style or not - all which always contains many horrible for your health ingredients such as: aspartame, splenda, msg (monosodium glutamate) or natural flavors, fluoride, - all many = all within all soda , fast food , pizza, desserts, OTC drugs, prescription drugs, drugs in our food like caffeine & all those other ingridients I stated earlier) etc. which all act NO DIFFERENT than illegal drugs like heroin & cocain (credible sources below), hurting your health physically & mentally that cannabis could never do.
I know more people in life who were straight A students, 4.0, awesome ACT scores, furthered education beyond high school to even PHD’s, doctors, lawyers, to be very successful individuals in life all by being a pothead (to which we assign negativity meaning to that term and only because we've believed the LIES, the brainwashing, the manipulation, the BS, the deceit, the deception, the fraud which hurts you, it's the oppression or evil upon us. I personally never had ever consumed cannabis while in school & never could reach a 4.0 during any semester. Doing so basically makes everything more fun, including studying or learning. I wish i would have smoked marijuana in college, my grades would have been better and probably would have pushed myself more.
Gateway Theory?
There is no gateway drug, everything stands on it's own. As soon as you taste it and like something, you will want more of it, whether that "it" is:
- sex
- pizza or any food item
- sugar
- soda
- alcohol
- cigarettes
- cocaine
- heroin
- pain medication
- pot
- materialism or money
whatever…. we all can be addicted to anything...
If you like it or love it, you will want more of it, getting you into trouble, possibly if abused. However, one should realize that abusing some things like marijuana or being intimate with your wife (commitment) after you take care of your responsibilities of course are the few things you can abuse and it doesn't really hurt you or impact you in a negative way. You can't overdose on it and it harm you like you can with certain foods, drinks and other medication (drugs) or pills you pop. Being with a loved one or smoking marijuana is the most spiritual, heavenly thing a person can do in life. If you "taste" something once and don't want it again, then you obviously didn't it like it all that much. The only prohibition should be done via your own self-discipline (self-choice, accompanied by education, truth), any other makes the situation worse. Such as.. Somebody else dictating to me what my choices should be. Why don't you stop trying to take care of me and let me decide what is best for me, okay?
Also, why do people always use marijuana as the gateway drug and not smoking cigarettes? Or Alcohol? Although many will just say that leads to harder liquor. I don't know why anybody thinks anything can lead to something else. If it's a gateway drug at all, that's due to we the people making it illegal and creating the gateway theory through belief, lying about it, lumping it in with other drugs as if they are all in the same class when they are not or simply allowing drug dealers to deal more than just marijuana, leading to other drugs. It's humanity that needs to be educated on what each drug does and what type of addiction can result, for instance smoking pot isn't physically addicting to where you "need" it to get your fix, if you it's not around or available, oh well. It's like someone saying no to you on having your favorite food that you are "craving". It's just a physocological craving or something to consider for relief like someone taking a pain killer or a tylenol. Regardless, humanity only seeks to consume something in order to feel good or relief pain or stress, it's for medical purposes. Smoking marijuana isn't really something that takes the place of another, it is something that can help accommodate, helping those who drink alcohol for instance, balancing them out. Making the drug illegal only enhances the availability of it via the black market, more for kids than adults. It isn't controlled. Everybody seems to not like Liberty and think we ought to have a lot of control, regulations, well it is out of control when illegal. We should legalize drugs and regulate them, prescribe them when they are truly needed.
Bill Explains Drugs perfectly and War on them – I like to take it a step further and compare the illegal drugs to not just alcohol but your crap diet (processed foods with a list of chemicals or ingredients which makes your food drugs) and pills you all pop!
By the way, they are untaxed drugs for the "user", but a tax on the Tax Payers to fight it. Federal government (corporation) gives it to your kids instead of a doctor prescribing it and we waste money / resources on law enforcement and DEA to fight the low level users. It's just more expensive for the and everyone else that doens't consume illegal drugs but the legal ones are kicking yourselves in the behind on that, especially by shutting down the competition making your healthcare / medication from the doctor more expensive. Are you happy with your ignorance / hatred? BTW, smoking pot is different than alcohol and it's really a supplement. I can handle drinking more with pot. Without it I tend not to drink as much. It's great for the next morning hangover. So Alcohol companies, get with the program.
And while everyone tries to prohibit real health (marijuana), don't want people seeking illegal drugs, we tend to believe the lies and advise us all to seek drugs or Toxins to combat natural human emotions people go through like anxiety or depression over something and labeling that as a “disorder”, needing medication. It's the opening of the door to the thought police or thought crime and this person is "mental". Most people who have a disease on the body just need to get it back into ease with proper nutrition which most doctors are illiterate on. Doctors get nothing but Drug pushers pushing them drugs to prescribe for whatever symptom you tell them.
Making a Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging - Full Movie (Documentary)
All to control human behavior. It’s so mind control with our Health
The only way I can see something like marijuana being a gateway drug, isn't from the substance itself, but more from the lies told around it that it is bad for you and as dangerous as the others drugs it is lumped together with, when in reality it isn't and people then may think or wonder differently about other drugs that are also on the black market and chances are these drugs are pushed by the same drug dealer dealing marijuana. It's we and the war on drugs that makes marijuana a gateway drug, it's your ignorant belief and creating it with prohibition.
See, we don't think something that we eat or drink can be a drug, when in reality that is the way we mostly consume our drugs. I watch so many people sit there and just eat certain foods, some taste great to them and others don't and they just gravitate to whatever taste good to them and have no idea as the difference between protein, fats or carbs or sugar or any other ingredients that might be in it or how it was even prepared. Most people don't eat the whole food of an apple or tomato (one ingredient) but instead processed foods, with tons of ingredients, yet can't imagine what they do to you? People sit and wonder why they feel the way they do sometimes, wonder what is wrong with their health, yet NEVER seek to research or learn what the food they eat is made of or what their diet is doing to them and quite frankly, I believe nobody cares, especially when you try to enlighten them on it. And you aren’t really trying to enlighten them to keep them from doing it, but to defend yourself from them shoving it down your throat when you try to refuse it. Many don't want to ever hear that their favorite food or drink is bad for them or is a drug. One of the biggest things we live in denial on.
Your health is simple, it's the food you eat that determines how you feel over the next day or so. The food (drugs) you eat may cause side effects themselves like taking what you think "medication". You feel these issues arise or side effects and think you medicine or more drugs to combat your problem, it's a vicious cycle when you blindly listen to somebody else instead of educating yourself and listening to your own body and really trying to take care of it.
Outside of what you look like, shape, how tall you are, etc. with your health, it's not really genetics directly, it's lifestyle and many genetically in the family or the influence from your friends tend to follow the same lifestyle ways, same diet. You tend to follow the same decisions, consuming the same food choices (drugs). The genetics is the difference in how something impacts someone over the other. To me sugar & whatever else that it's mixed with in what you eat (or whatever drugs you are also taking); it may mess with my allergies and digestion, etc. whereas to you or with my dad it is giving him gout or arthritis.
Heroin and cocaine could both be found on pharmacy shelves prior to prohibition, and there was hardly a “drug epidemic” back in those days.
Illegal drugs only became a major problem during the early drug war, when Harry Anslinger, his posse, and successors released massive amounts of anti-drug ads on television, labeling them as “narcotics”, and linking them directly with youth delinquency. They basically ‘marketed’ drugs under the “narcotics” label, via reverse-psychology tactics, to the youth and poor sectors of society. When you tell someone that they are FORBIDDEN to do something (especially children and young people), it generally sparks their curiosity, and they want to try it out for themselves.
Watch some of the early anti-marijuana videos released during that time. They are replete with audacious lies to the n’th degree, and even going as far as to declare that “marijuana addicts will inevitably turn into violent murderers”, which is completely bogus. Check out the anti-marijuana video “reefer madness”, its so REDICULOUS that it’s actually pretty funny.
After trying marijuana, a person would realize that the government and media had been lying to them, finding out for themselves that marijuana is NOT addictive, does NOT make a person act violently, but conversely, in most cases, and has a strong calming effect. From here, an un-informed person might assume that the government is lying to them about all of the other drugs as well, and will go on to try harder drugs like cocaine or heroin, eventually becoming addicted.
If someone wants to get addicted to heroin, cocaine, or crystal meth, then they should be allowed to do so. It’s their life, and their body. When they get violent or begin to steal from people, then THAT’S when they should be arrested and brought before a judge, just like we do with alcoholics. Alcoholics aren’t criminalized for being alcoholics, and neither should drug addicts.
We don’t send alcoholics, nicotine or caffeine addicts to jail, and nicotine in particular happens to be THE most addictive substance in our society. Studies show that nicotine may be even more addictive than heroin. Also, what about people who are addicted to prescription drugs? Prescription drugs tend to be even more addictive and harmful to the individual than a lot of the illegal substances, but we don’t send those people to jail either.
Again, why does our military protect the opium fields over in Afghanistan, while the FBI arrests citizens at home for owning a single marijuana plant?
