Does anybody actually believe that marijuana is dangerous?

Update:

... that what the US Gov't says is true and Schedule I classification is justified.

    No, I don't. Its my medicine. It's natural and safer than other drugs. That's why the classify it as a Schedule 1 with H. Its stupid.

    People say its dangerous cuz they never tried it. I smoke like all the time, and I can quit anytime with no harsh withdraws.

    Watch this sometime, if already haven't.

    Not in the way the gov claims it is. I mean, its not 100% safe, but it is NOT dangerous enough to warrant all this illegalness and harsh classification.

  • It's no more dangerous then fags or drinking, but it still impairs your judgment due to the effect the it has on the neurons in your brain, so yes it can be dangerous.

    And to whoever said its not addictive, you've obviously never smoked it longer then a pass at a party. of course it's addictive.

    EDIT - i don't live in America, so i really don't follow the US goverments answers on this matter. The fact being that I lived in Amsterdam for a year (where weed is legal and is available in every cafe on every street), should make my opinion count. It IS addictive. It can be dangerous.

    no because it's naturally grown vs. cigerattes and and tabacco. marijuana unless someone has put something in it doesn't have any other chemicals like toilet bowl cleaner and rat poison in it. They have no evidence that it causes cancer like the other two.

    and it's not addicting like cig.

    i've smoked for a year in a half made good grades in school and stopped when i found out i was pregnant without wanting to smoke again.

    Anyone with an IQ above 60.

    Marijuana is dangerous - the tolerance of the human body against it is relatively low, and it's intoxicating (which is never really safe).

    But indeed, the dangers of marijuana are far smaller than those of alcohol, which is perfectly legal.
