If weed were legal:
1. Alcohol consumption would drop, hurting that industry.
2. Analgesic and other pain medicine consumption would drop, hurting that industry.
3. Hemp would again be used for textiles and paper, hurting those industries.

Smoking weed makes you lazy, clouds ones thoughts, and leads to junk food. If you dont think it clouds your thoughts just read some of the crap ive posted.

If you look at professional athletes, drug testing is a joke...the majority of them use some kind of banned substance that they are all tested over, but the ones who are chosen for random testing are usually given the heads up by a coach or trainer, and there are many ways to fake them, or make sure the tester is looking the other way when they actually take the test. If they get busted it is usually very rare...and I don't think occasional marijuana use would be any worse (maybe better) than a drinking problem, which is much more common.

I mean let's face it, marijuana is the "stepping stone" drug. Most kids you try it go onto to coke and so on. For me, I never did go past that stage and maybe you too, if you do smoke. However, I think that a lot of kids may try other drugs after trying pot.
I guess what I am trying to say is that there is no harm done in an anti-drug tv commercial

The 'pot smoker' brain signal was actually the brain signal of someone in a coma, I believe. It got yanked quick. I think I saw it like 3 or 4 times on MTV way back when... They really do stretch sometimes, don't they?
