It is illegal for a reason. They didn’t just say, “oh let’s make smoking this completely harmless drug illegal just for fun.” I can tell by your question that you have had too much experience with the drug.

It is bad because it’s illegal, you can’t get a job that requires a drug test, and besides what you think it does make you lazy and stupid, you just haven’t smoked long enough, when you are an adult you will understand.

I’ve personally witnessed too many negative effects to say it’s good. It IS bad…sure, there are some people who can handle it and be fine and there are others that it consumes their lives…just like alcohol. I’ve seen people rob their families, break into houses and let their children go without food just to get a little.I’ve known more than one person that died or was injured after passing out at the wheel of a car or doing stupid things because they smoked a bit much.People also have their college careers and lives ruined because they get caught with it.Most work places test for its presence…you can’t get a good job if you smoke. It may seem recreational, but when you get a good chance to really observe lifetime users the picture is not as rosy as you paint it. Best of luck on not getting busted.
I know you’ll disregard this answer, thinking I’m just some goody two shoes making this up…but hell, I lived with a dealer for four years, I think I know what I’m talking about.

Considering the guy who sat in front of me in my history class last year smoked weed during lunch almost everyday, I think I can say it effects the way you act. Before lunch, he actually did work every once and awhile. He might try to copy someones work? After lunch? No. He was too high to even copy his notes down.
Then, he and his friends would talk about times that they’d go out partying. They’d do drugs, and drive home afterward. He stabbed himself in the arm with a knife while he was high. He has a nice huge scar now.
Kill your braincells.
But please, do your drugs responsibly. It IS just like drinking. You have to do it responsibly. It impairs your judgment whether you like it or not. Have a designated driver. Do it at home. Something.
I personally know people who have been killed while sitting in their HOME by people who were under the influence of marijuana while driving. That’s how bad you can be impaired. It’s the cold, hard truth.

The term “bad”, in this instance, is a relative term. If you’re as intelligent as you claim to be, then you know that the chemical effects of marijuana will make you less motivated, or lazy, at least during the time that you’re under the influence. I don’t smoke marijuana and I managed to go to get great scores on the SAT, PSAT, and ASVAB. I drank a little on the weekends while in college, but still made the Dean’s list; I imagine that I would have done better if I’d spent the time studying that I spent at parties and I’m sure I would have done worse if I put marijuana into the mix. My best friend in High School never smoked marijuana or drank alcohol and he achieved the highest score in the county the year he took his SAT test.
Your Bible argument really doesn’t hold water either, it also says nothing about crack cocaine, speed balls, child porn or drunk driving; it does give instances when women may be raped, children may be stoned (not on marijuana), homosexuals and effeminate men are doomed to hell, and the list goes on. You also mentioned that nobody ever died from overdosing on marijuana, I’m not sure if that is true or not, however I do know that plenty of people have died and killed others in traffic accidents due to intoxication on marijuana.
Through your studies, you should have also learned that hemp and marijuana is not the same thing; hemp contains less than 1% THC and I doubt that you could ever smoke enough hemp to get high. You also claim that smoking marijuana through a vaporizer keeps it from being harmful; I don’t think that the carcinogens are pulled from the drug as it goes through the vaporizer. You also say that it’s no more harmful than cigarettes, that’s like saying that being shot in the stomach is no more harmful than being stabbed in the stomach. Also, what makes alcohol the barometer by which harmful things are measured, for this argument; refer to the cigarette statement above. If marijuana is such a great thing why not compare it to ice water or vitamins?
As far as I know, you are right about the reason that marijuana was initially made illegal, but it’s not the reason it has remained illegal. The percentage of people that you listed that admitted to smoking marijuana prior to graduation may or may not be right; however it’s really a meaningless statistic for the purpose of this argument. The telling statistic would deal with regular/daily users of marijuana. A lot of people may have tried marijuana a few times and decided it wasn’t for them, their experimentation and later success isn’t a vindication of the drug.
Marijuana use may not doom you to a life of sloth and ignorance, but it also won’t put you on the path to success. How bad can life be that you have to ingest some type of drug and risk arrest and future success just to escape it? Just because you’ve not seen the bad side of this drug yet, doesn’t mean it’s not coming. If you can be successful on drugs, just imagine how great things could be without them.
I do believe that there may be some medical uses for marijuana and it should be allowed to be studied and prescribed by licensed physicians for legitimate physical and mental ailments.

Yeah….when do you reckon we should legalize murder?
Also, why do we want brain dead idiots wandering around?
Actually I want my doctor to opperate on me while high! That would be cool. And people to drive around while high! There would be organizations like the MASID (Mothers Against Stoned Idiots Driving). Wonder why that hasn’t taken place? Because it’s illegal and not widespread yet. Why is alcohol so widespread? Because it’s legal. Personally I believe BOTH marijuana and alcohol should be illegal. Anything that makes you function irrationally is dangerous. You DO function irrationally while high. Maybe not when sober, but continuous use WILL cause brain damage, memory problems, etc. Driving while high, with slow relexes, it is VERY likely you can harm someone. I wouldn’t trust anyone who had 20-30% of their normal mental function opperating machieracy. Also, why do tons of people smoke pot now? Probably because of the VERY lose laws regarding it? If the death penalty was offered, would you think twice?
