As stated in a previous note it was just time before someone started with marijuana is better than alcohol and lo and behold here it is. Next thrust in supporting marijuana is where are the facts? If a user wants to use and justify marijuana one of the illrational basis they use is that one. First: both are drugs!. Second: there is a host of documented facts relative to the impact of marijuana usage on youth under 18. Third: There are loads of documented facts regarding it being a "gateway" drug. Fourth: To gain a better understanding attend one of the Narc Anonymous meetings in the Villages. I have never used a "Drug" to spice up my life and at this age I don't intend to start. Given this I still have been exposed to some of the impacts through knowledge, treatment experts and some who have suffered from its usage, etc. Every time i read or hear someone try to make light of a drug or influence our youth with the rationalizing that it is OK I feel compelled to speak up.
