Abdollah: The question is not whether pot is "harmless." Few things in this world are. And the fact is that pot is certainly LESS harmful than the other most popular recreational inebriant, alcohol.
Alcohol is toxic. People can and do die from alcohol overdose.
The abuse of alcohol is the third-leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.
Alcohol is also addictive. In fact, your body can be so addicted to alcohol that you can literally die from withdrawal.
Finally, alcohol, as a disinhibitor, is a MASSIVE contributor to violence. It's involved in something like half of all violent crimes and 70% of domestic abuse cases. In contrast, cannabis is non-toxic. It's literally impossible to fatally overdose on. And the use of cannabis is not associated with increased mortality. Cannabis is also not physically addictive. If you want to talk about "psychological addiction," be my guest (of course that's also possible alcohol ... or shopping, or video games, or a thousand other things that humans find pleasurable), but let's at least acknowledge that there's no cannabis equivalent to derlirium tremens. And cannabis has never been linked to violence. If anything, it DECREASES the risk of violence by pacifying the user. While they can be overstated, there's a reason we have the stereotypes of the "belligerent drunk" versus the "mellow stoner." I know which one I prefer to be around. And again, the relevant question is not whether cannabis is harmless.
The question is not even whether its benefits outweigh its risks. The question is who decides in a free society: adult citizens for themselves or politicians for all of us? The question is should we continue to spend billions we don't have (and forego billions more in lost tax revenue) waging an unwinnable and increasingly unpopular war, a war that only empowers and enriches organized crime, fuels gang violence, promotes official corruption, undermines respect for the law, grows government and shrinks human liberty, turns millions of ordinary Americans into criminals, and poisons police / community relations? The question is should we be sending men with guns to arrest our fellow citizens and lock them in cages for the "crime" of possessing a plant?! The idiocy of cannabis prohibition can't end soon enough.

(And btw, I'm not a "liberal" or a "leftist." I'm a conservative-leaning libertarian who actually believes all that stuff about limited government, individual liberty, respecting the 10th Amendment, and opposing the "nanny-state.")

Hosein: There's 1 reason & 1 reason only why MJ was made illegal. Money. Hemp plants makes great ropes & fabrics & DuPont wanted the military contract for ropes, netting & parachutes for their new Nylon. With help from William Randolph Hearst & his yellow journalist tabloids, Hemp was turned into 'an unspeakable scourge of impressionable youth', that must be stamped out - FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN! (sound familiar?). Listen to the music of your great-grandparents pre-1930 - there were many popular songs about how much fun 'reefer' was because in those days it grew all over the place & it wasn't illegal to pick it & smoke it.

Zilbermandh: Who is Brad Pitt? Why should I care about some stupid loser drug addict?

Yannis: No one I know says that pot is harmless, it's just not worth sending anyone to jail for.

LOKENDRA : It just shows that marijuana isn't harmful and is non-habitforming. Pitt is lucky he just used marijuana, not cocaine or opiates.
