I'm gonna smoke weed for the rest of my life. And you know what? I'll live a much healthier life than those of you who drink and smoke cigarettes. Marijuana Is may be the most used illegal substance but it's also 1 of the least harmful.

Did you say that pot shouldn't be categorized as a drug? really? do you even know what pot is? MARIJUANA. Heres an article:

Marijuana

The most widely used illegal drug in the United States, marijuana resembles green, brown, or gray dried parsley with stems or seeds. A stronger form of marijuana called hashish (hash) looks like brown or black cakes or balls. Marijuana is often called a gateway drug because frequent use can lead to the use of stronger drugs.

Street Names: POT, weed, blunts, chronic, grass, reefer, herb, ganja

How It's Used: Marijuana is usually smoked — rolled in papers like a cigarette (joints), or in hollowed-out cigars (blunts), pipes (bowls), or water pipes (bongs). Some people mix it into foods or brew it as a tea.

Effects & Dangers:

•Marijuana can affect mood and coordination. Users may experience mood swings that range from stimulated or happy to drowsy or depressed.

•Marijuana also elevates heart rate and blood pressure. Some people get red eyes and feel very sleepy or hungry. The drug can also make some people paranoid or cause them to hallucinate.

•Marijuana is as tough on the lungs as cigarettes — steady smokers suffer coughs, wheezing, and frequent colds.

Addictiveness: Teens who use marijuana can become psychologically dependent upon it to feel good, deal with life, or handle stress. In addition, their bodies may demand more and more marijuana to achieve the same kind of high experienced in the beginning.

Shouldn't be categorized as a drug??????

You need to do some serious research before saying that!

I can use the words FREEDOM and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in caps too. Doesn't make my argument any better either.

I think we're better off without weed. The war on drugs, as some would call it, is a great thing. We don't need crack or heroin. We just don't need it. Weed got thrown in because idiots couldn't really keep it under wraps (no pun intended).

And hemp is overrated. I was once used for many things, but today we've got much better materials.
