Those of you who say pot is horrible and the mental effects are really bad haven't done their research. I have, multiple times over the past 8 years for different term papers in high school. I don't have all the sites I used for these papers because I don't have time to find them. But all you need to do is google marijuana and you will never run out of credible sites to look at.
As of the last time I checked, there have been NO deaths in car accidents where the driver was high. Asprin kills more people than pot...should be ban aspirin now too?
As for the effects, there is very little evidence that some of the major problems said to be caused by pot are true. Like someone said, it is usually the weed that is laced with coke, crack, lsd etc that cause the problems. Weed is not physically addicting (but you can get mentally addicting if you aren't careful).
And whoever said that they have seen people dive head first after one hit must have seen someone take a laced hit. I have never seen nor heard about someone getting horribly ****ed up from one hit. Yes, you can become paranoid from one hit, but to have it affect the rest of your life immediately is quite uncommon.
Anyways, I need to get to class. we can continue this discussion when I get home and can pull up all the sites and data I used, but it won't help whoever has to do the speech.
