Marijuana...

There are really major pros and cons to this subject. Marijuana is not proven physically addictive. Obviously, it can be mentally addictive. When you smoke it on a regular basis, you're going to feel that you "need" to smoke. Ok, I'm out and about in the party scene quite a bit. I can't tell you how many fights I have seen because someone is all drunk and stupid and they grow "beer muscles". How many times have I seen that happen to someone after they just hit the bong? None. I've never heard of anyone piling up their car because they smoked a blunt. I have several friends that have piled up their cars and gotten DUI's because they were stupid enough to drink and drive. If marijuana is ever legalized it needs to be done so under government regulations. However, it is a "gateway" drug. You start to think, "Well, I smoked weed so doing mushrooms can't be bad. It's natural." and then, "Well, I did mushrooms and that made me hallucinate, so how bad can acid me for me?". I know this from personal experience when I was younger and from all the people that I'm no longer friends with because they're all on serious shit.
