Besides potentially going to jail or losing your job? Luckily, when I was still smoking, my boss didn't care.
Yes, there are still some cons. Of course most of what we have ever been told about pot is BS, but there are some bad effects that still seem to hold up.
Pot smoking is bad for motor coordination, and pot smokers have more accidents than non smokers. Marijuana is like alcohol in this regard, but the effects wear off much more slowly. Pot smokers are a hazard on the road and on the job.
I think it should be legal, but that employers should be able to have policies against it and to test for it, depending on the kind of job a person does. It should be illegal to drive under its influence just as it is for booze.
No, smoking it is not good for you. You could vaporize it though and inhale it and then that'd be fine.
It may and then again it may not.
Very true, which is why restrictions should be lifted so that we may perform the necessary experiments to realize marijuana's full potential.
it's expen$ive .. and a lot of that money goes to crime orginaizations and politicans .. wait .. that's a good reason why it should be legal.
If W legalized and taxed it he could pay for the war with the taxes.
Don't worry about paying for the war, that Iraq oil revenue is surely going to kick in any minute now and pay for most of the cost.
Just legalize it , here in holland we don't have trouble with it.
Oh i bet it does. Just like how everything else the hippies are against causes cancer. I hope they all get worms from eating 'organic' food.
hey here is a bong hit for ya!

I think it is funny that you believe that their is a well organized hippie movement that has a finger in everything from cancer research to politics. ::grin::
Its the con to the Right Wing Agenda that has its finger in everything from cancer research to proving John Edwards is a faggot. ::grin::
That's actually a good analogy, since it involves something that is factually wrong as part of the right wing agenda. 
The idea that hippies are well organized is laughable. Have you ever met any? Did they seem capable of organizing anything besides a bong party?
Right wingers on the other hand are extremely well organized. The gun lobby, the abortion fanatics, the Puritan anti-sex anti-drug anti-rock & roll crowd, anyone who takes Ann Coulter seriously, anyone who takes O'Reilly seriously, anyone who takes Dubya seriously, and so on. Highly motivated, well organized and that is why they are running the country and not us.

Jeez. I've seen so many reports about positive effects from cannabis smoking lately. It's less addictive than coffee, much less harmful than alcohol and safer than smoking and now it even protects against cancer.
I see a lot of pros... Anyone know of any cons?
