Not that this is going to happen soon, as big brother US is whining and threatening us not to legalize it, and the public opinion on this issue is strongly divided.

Yes, there are different known carcinogens. And there is a level of risk with each one. The level of risk with marijuana is more than with cigarrettes.Originally posted by Mike Curwen:

Why couldn't they isolate the active ingredient and package it as a pill. I bet that would eliminate the carcinogens.

I always thought the difference between an idiot and a moron is not so much their IQ, but that idiots run the country and morons vote for them! And both eat Big Macs!
So then work to make it legal but meanwhile don't use it.Originally posted by Randall Twede:
if it wasnt illegal, no one would buy it from "terrorists". think of the tax revenue as well!

You should note that all these terms are considered offensive today. Referring to a person who is developmentally disabled as a "moron" or "idiot" is as offensive as calling a black person a "nigger".Originally posted by Jason Menard:
