You had excellent points... i'm still against...
Recreational weed though. I think if somone smokes weed to get high, or not feel some sort of pain, I think it shows the weakness of that human being. Weed is not "harmless" it IS Helpful, but can also be "harmful" as it does have chemical effects on the brain and body which can have every way of going wrong (chances are low, depending on yoru chemical structure of course) I'ts not harmless, it's like a doughnut, everyone gets pissed off if you rag on somone for eating one, but everyone knows that they are not harmless. Marajuana is to highly focused on, Where I live (canada) We have THC pills, and food products, legaly accessable for those who need it. Ones who do not need it shoudl back off. Sure it's not going to kill you, but it is just giving you a temporary fix on perseption of things which eventually you grow immune to. If you do it for fun or the "high" I think it's a waste of plant for those who need it. Recreational marajuana shouldn't be legalized, we shouldn't allow the weak to get weaker. However, the medical benefets are obvious, and the things the plant itself can do is awesome (clothes, rope, PAPER! just to name a few). I just, don't need another member of my family ligting up something else in my house. I know it's not the worst (of course if you knwo your grower, if you don't they could be lacing it, it's happened to freinds of mine.) But i'ts not good for people to be eating the brownies you suggested or smoking joints (eating would be better, you wanna get high, get high, leave everyone esle out of it) just to mess with thier perception.
Don't waste a plant, let the sick have it. I for one have no intentions of trying it, I can enjoy everything I see just fine without that perception being temorparily enhanced. 3/4 of my day require me to concintrate on what i'm doing. If i'm noticing every little detail i can't concintrate on anything else.
