As much as i like the theory and do subscribe to a certain eliment of government using drungs as a means to justify and end. However we also must remember that weed is one of those drugs that not only cause some of the above symptons but also it's one of the stepping stone drugs. I've seen plenty of people start with weed before they started to smoke normal cigarettes, then move their way on to mushrooms, lsd, Es and even cocain. The main thing is they while i have no problems with drug use for those that understand it's effects and damage it can cause. I do have a problem with the other 80% of the population who are simply dumb and know no better - these are the people who need protection from the government (governments being the ones who warn of use by making it illegal).
