#4A drug more benign than alcohol.
Smoke too much, take a nap.
Smoke too often, cut down and get sharp again.
Drink too much, you get flu symptoms.
Drink too much too often, you get a new liver, or die.

The fact that alcohol and tobacco are legal doesn't mean we should legalise all drugs that are somewhat healthier than alcohol and tobacco. I think we can do much better.

Unfortunately not. If you spend a long time smoking you'll end up permanently slower in the brain.
Also, let's not forget our friend lung cancer.

We can do much better? What the hell does that mean? More drug prohibition? Yeah, that's been working out just peachy.
Portugal's decriminalization of all drugs has led to a sharp drop across the board in drug usage and an increase in effective rehabilitative outcomes.

#9Who would have thought this!
While enzyms in the human body are totally able to cope with alcohol and (which I absolutely do not favor either, for the record), the human body has to "wash out" the remains of pot in the synapses of the brain (which is why there is ZERO alcohol in the blood after a few hours but even after months, smoking pot can sometimes be detected in urine).
I personally have a big problem with really punishing people for smoking pot, I see no sense in it. Yet I see no sign why there should be more people smoking it.
Recently a friend came up to me and told me how great cannabis could be for certain health issues. I just replied: 95% of what you tell me could also be accomplished by good old ginger, no need for weed.
Also: the regular pot smokers in my class in school are NOT successful people nowadays (if people smoke once or twice a year, of course, there seem to be no big issues concerning their success in life).

“Do much better” is a platitude - it conveys zero information as to what you actually believe should be done differently.
