It's ironic that society has demonized tobacco, but is now welcoming marijuana use. ...Are we just trading one drug for another? It's a little scary as to the societal effects in terms of mental health considering there's an uncertain connection (if there's a correlation versus cause-and-effect) between marijuana use and brain changes and symptoms resembling schizophrenia.

Why don't you take your nonsense and your attitude elsewhere? You act as if people can't... gASP... SUPPORT MULTIPLE CAUSES... no that would be too much... ONLY SUPPORT WEED... NEVER SUPPORT ANYTHING ELSE.

No, we wouldn't be ****ing trading one drug for another. Tobacco is worse. There's literally no benefit to tobacco consumption over marijuana.

I'm not even going to dignify that last bit with a response because you are so painfully uneducated that, perhaps, you should actually consider Googling a few things before further "contribution" to the discussion. Or, preferably, you can just **** off the thread.

You clearly know nothing about heroin and cocaine. Or weed, for that matter. Try reading up on what all three of those drugs actually do and you'll see why two of them are some of the worst things you can do to yourself and why marijuana isn't the same as alcohol like you seem to think.

Being straightedge is fine. But blurring all drugs and alcohol together then acting mightier than us for it is just going to piss people off.
