In 1998 the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy launched the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, a historic initiative to educate and empower all youth to reject illegal drugs, after receiving overwhelming bipartisan Congressional support. The Campaign targets youth ages 9-18—especially the vulnerable middle-school adolescents—their parents, and other adults who influence the choices young people make.

this is funded by the gov.. im sorry, i dont believe the answers given. ive read labortory reports and medical examinations, i'll post some of them when i can find the links, but with no Ph.D standing behind these claims its not holding alot of water. the problems i saw though were all psycological besides the canser-causing one, which i will find my facts with good sources to back up my claim. the beauty of the "war on drugs" is the gov can say anything about it and people will believe it. marajuana is 100x better for you than alchohal. notice everything was psycological addictions and what not, you can get physicaly addicted to caffine, alchohal, tobacco, counter drugs and so on, but marajuana its ONLY in your head. if you cant drop it whenever, then i agree, the person should seek help and definitaly not touch fatty foods, lots of sugar, diet pills, etc because they will become dependent on the stimulation they get from them also. you have to step back and read whats being said about the item talked about... i like heated debates, i do believe that legalization is around the corner, and there are now 12 or 15 states who will perscribe it to you in order to CURE canser or ease the pain of terminal deseases. cocaine, herion, acid, speed, mdma, all those drugs are horrible and i will sign any petition to get those away from people. they kill. have you ever seen someone who's addicted to caffine not get any for a few days? they tweak out. someone who dosnt have weed for a few days turns normal. every symptom that u mention occures while a person is using marajuana. you do not experience short term memory loss the next day, or after smoking for a year, it might be a week or so, but you do go back to normal. people unconsesly act like a burn out. the thing is people who smoke are told they cant sucseed and then they believe that. society turns them into a lazy person. ive known people who dont smoke, hang out with people who do, they act like they are stoners because thats the way their friends act. society plays a huge role in the way a person acts (been studying sociology for 3 days strait, theres all sorts of interesting things in the book on enviroments and societal influences) i will agree with everyone here though, smoking and working on a car = dumb. you are physicaly competant to, but your gonig to forget little things, and probobly screw something up. i dont think a person is competant to drive completly blasted, and i dont think you should smoke if you have anything important to do. i see weed as a healthyer alternative to alchohal, but until its legal, im not touching it.
