Due to my condition, which was not caused by smoking, I will never be able smoke another joint in my life again. Cant say I am suffering in the lease from it.

All drugs at some point do harm,the problem is kids now are to ignorant and take everything to the extreme,and like alcohol pot is a stepping stone to every other drug on the market,and it all depends on that market,if its cheap and gets you high kids jump on it,that is how crack,and meth got a foot hold in our nation.But like everything it depends on the individual,many pot heads have gone the circle and done every drug on the planet but always come back to pot because its safer and cheaper!

"All in all, this is a portrait of a population that bears little or no resemblance to a group of addicts. The majority appears to be receiving drug abuse treatment they don’t need in order to satisfy a legal system gone mad."
This study says what I've seen in most of my life.-
