The vast majority of the people who try to liken something as benign as cannabis, to something like cocaine usually have little idea as to what they're talking about. The drugs are very different, unrelated, and have drastically different effects on the central nervous system.

Thats the key right there. It's an offense....hence you get put in jail. Ask all the coke heads and ppl who've done hard drugs what was the first drug they began using? I'm pretty damn sure the majority of em will tell ya MJ was the first. Hence gateway drug. No it doesn't make you go out and do harder stuff...and it very well may not be addictive ( although with the number of ppl so far I've seen on here saying it's nothing a damn good case could be made that it is) but most ppl who are druggies don't go from sipping pepsi to cooking the rock in one leap. They started small with something "harmless and non addictive" guess what that might be?

And to all the people saying it's just cause the gov' makes moola off arresting people and ****...guess what? If you were smart enough to NOT do it...they wouldn't be making money off you would they? You want it to be legal? By all means take your ass to amsterdam if it means that much to you. But until then quit crying about the govenment making money of the people who get caught with it. The only ones to blame for that is the people doing it. Can't do the time, don't do the crime
