As a fellow conservative, why in the world would you respond to a simple factual post with a response like this? Pot is non-toxic by scientific definition. It is not physically addictive. These are clinically proven, documented facts.
I just hate it when proven factual statements are attacked emotionally for any reason. The truth is the truth. Ice cream, cookies, candy and cakes are also non-toxic yet I've seen many lives ruined by them. 330+ lb. people that should only weigh 130 lbs. or less and remain in depression because of their obesity can be dangerous.
If you think for a second that some of these people won't lie, cheat and steal in order to get their 'fix' then you are mistaken. I'm not saying that pot is harmless. I'm only saying that telling a poster they are "lost" for stating facts is not adhering to conservative values.
Thanks for your good works Steven and welcome to Free Republic.
Marijuana can actually be VERY addictive, especially since the THC content has increased from approx 1% to often 30%. This has been documented time and time again (see I can do it too).
Marijuana today, compared to Marijuana of the 60’s is what crack is to cocaine.
To flippantly call it a “non-toxic flower” is at best misleading, at worst flat out lying.
