if you were my partner it definatly would make you infertile.. and single! as i would give you sex and you would be out the door! I cant think of anything less pathetic and unatractive than a pot head for a partner.watching someone skinning up is an embarassment..

Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our plants. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem a bit……unnatural?
This is a quote that I pick because I am doing my speech on legalization
Of marijuana.
I think marijuana should be legal because the drug generally is not more harmful than cigarettes or alcohol. It is not addictive physically but it is mentally. Marijuana can be used for medical purposes.
Marijuana is not addictive like cigarettes. Due to cigarettes tobacco has killed over 400,000 people. Alcohol has killed up to 100,000 all legal drugs 20,000 all illegal drugs 15,000 caffeine 2,000 aspirin 500, and marijuana zero deaths. Now tell me why it’s okay to have cigarettes and alcohol to be legal when it kills more and more people every day.
Every 30 minutes someone is killed in an alcohol related traffic accident. Over 15 million Americans are dependent on alcohol. 500,000 are between the age of 9 and 12.
About 12 times more British people have died from smoking than from World War II. Cigarettes cause more than one in five American deaths.
Every eight seconds, someone dies from tobacco use.
Marijuana can be used for medical benefits such as cancer patients unlike tobacco that causes cancer.
There are negative outcomes for marijuana such as people who don’t have the will power to say no to them. Some kids may start to do stronger drugs but tobacco is really the gateway drug. Tobacco is the first drug the kids use. Unlike marijuana kids get hooked on it they have joined the ranks of drug addicts. As an addictive already its easer for them to get a hold of cigarettes, and the people who abuse the drug may end up hurting them self or others. Marijuana can lead to short term memory loss, but only while under the influence. Marijuana dose not impair long term memory loss. The positive outcome is that there has been no death caused by marijuana alone. Marijuana does not cause serious health problems like those caused by tobacco or alcohol like strong addiction, cancer, heart problems, birth defects, emphysema, and liver damage. Death from a marijuana overdose is impossible.
I’m talking to you about this today because at least 141 million people in the world smoke marijuana.
I think marijuana should be legal because it hasn’t killed a single person, its not addictive physically, you don’t have withdraws when trying to quit, and no serious heath affects are caused like tobacco and alcohol can do.
If we were to legalize marijuana street justice related to drugs deputes would be reduced. Marijuana could be a god source of additional tax revenues. Police and court resources would be freed up for more serious crimes. Drug dealers would lose more then half of there business. Legalization would mean lower price: thus related crimes (like theft) would be reduced. Limiting the use of the drug intrudes on personal freedom.
Like I said before and will again…. Marijuana is not addictive like tobacco. It does not give you a bad hangover in the morning like alcohol, and marijuana has not had a single death used by itself.
Did you know marijuana is used in religion?
Like Christianity and Judaism instruct their followers to drink wine on certain occasions, some Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, and members of other religions use marijuana as part of their spiritual and religious ceremonies. These people deserve the freedom to practice their religion as they see fit. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that the government cannot ‘prohibit the free exercise’ of religion, and so marijuana should be legal.
We can help by getting the word out there and showing that our freedom to smoke marijuana is our choice.
I think people need to be educated of the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If he put it here and wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that god is wrong?
