Not only that but it will make white women want to sleep with black men.

Nooooooooooo....not our beloved marijuana!!!!

Okay, fair enough. Now, let's add binge drinking including beer, wine, wine-coolers, vodka, etc. Sorry, while weed may be bad, I think that it's time to do some serious study about alcohol. The alcohol industry (and that means beer, too, Mr. Busch) doesn't want the competition. If we had a bunch of scantily-clad model types lighting up during spring break like the beer commercials, it would be just fine. You want an analogy? Okay, here it is, all you computer-savvy geeks: Alcohol is like Microsoft and Weed is Open Source, as in Linux. If you're going to hammer on Marijuana, folks, you'd better be fair about it and tackle that demon alcohol while you're at it. What? Dead silence? Paraphrasing the one poster who said something along the lines of "...a beer or two after work is not drug abuse, sorry." Sure, keep telling yourself that, and while you're at it, convince yourself that when you're fifteen year old knocks back a six pack of brewskies, that there's no kind of effect on his/her developing brain.

"It just f… with your head. I had to sleep with a knife under my bed 'cos I used to think people were going to come in and bash me during the night or something. Just for me mull or something, yeah." - Danni, 17.

I don't know what they smoked, but it's certainly not anything like what we know as marijuana. I'm not even sure what you could lace it with to cause those effects.

Heaven forbid anyone realizes the root cause: the fact that these kids spend every hour of the day stoned.

Now imagine the bodily damage if they spent the whole day drunk, high on coke, or eating for that matter.

Q: And Jake, what do you think you would have accomplished if you were not anchored by the poison of marijuana?

A: Why, I'd probably have found a way to make inkjet cartridges $100 apiece and make people glad to pay it. However under the circumstances I've only stayed at home and played with the dogs and fed the birds and, you know, just hung out. I even missed out on the Vioxx lawsuits. You snooze, you lose.

This isn't reasearch. They just asked the mentally ill if they smoked marijuana. Coincidence is not causality.

Clinicians now believe that modern strains of super-strength cannabis are increasingly triggering psychoses, depression and anxiety disorders in teenagers.

Is there some genetic defect that causes this happen to Aussies?
In The netherlands, pot has been legal for everyone over the age of 16 since 1976. Clinicians there don't report seeing this problem.
