Do you support marijuana legalization?

I feel this applies to all drugs. Out of all the thousands of people that die from pharmaceuticals every year, there are millions more using them wothout issue, whether recreationally or medically.

Exactly. People with addictive personalities often believe that it's better for everything to be unavailable so that they're "out of danger", without realising that they'll just get addicted to the next thing. When what they need to do, is understand their condition and find the best way to live with it.

Now... where's the coke zero(TM) gone? It's been a couple of hours since my last can and I'm starting to get the shakes...

Yes and no. Smoking it is not safe for your lungs. Its okay if you use it on brownie or turn them into juice for healthy then yes I do support it but smoking marijuana for healthy issues ? It could help but it is still not healthy for your lung. it is still smoking like a cigarette and smoke still travel into the lungs. No, I don't support it then. Its hazard for smoking the marijuana which travel smoke into the lungs. It is still lead to health problems in the future anyway.

It is better to use real marijuana to make with brownie (Ate it and it was delicious) or make them into juice for medicine and part of juice is a good healthy. Yes, I support that. That's difference.

There have been no studies that link marijuana smoke with lung cancer. The same can't be said about tobacco.

They are still study it further. It could be years and years before they find the true answer.

No, I am not saying about lung cancer.. I am talking about "smoke" travel into the lung which could lead to COPD or another diseases.

Yes, I know that Marijuana and Tobacco are totally different. Still, it is not healthy since you will still inhale smoke into the lung.

Cigarette smoke is not hot enough to damage your lungs, its the chemicals they put in there that damage the lungs mostly. Even still, smoke is no good for lungs on a regular basis, I can't deny that. Luckily in places where marijuana has become legal, they have so many alternatives like gummies, edibles, drinks, etc. Unfortunately in states where it has not become legal, people are forced to deal with shady transactions and a lack of choices. While people can and do still cook with it, its a lot less likely for most people who are forced to buy it off the streets, plus laced with who knows what.

What would you propose to do then? Distribute it but forbid it from being smoked? Distribute it but advise against smoking it and instead instruct it is baked into things?

That is not what I asked.

You say you would support legalisation but not smoking it. As presumably anybody that buys it can choose to put it in some brownies or roll it up and smoke it I asked what should be done about it if smoking it was to not be the way. You arguably have a similar situation with some pills if you crush them -- far different effects then, yet they are still sold.

I said I would support it if it is a medicine into pills or things that isn't harm to our bodies at all. Smoking marijuana is. And our body do not design to inhale smoke in our bodies at all. Its harmful anyway.

I understand about some pills being crushed and still sold. That's people choice and the same for smoking marijuana is people's choice. Again, I smell the rat that it doesn't mean they wants it to be legal for health reason whatever they want to called it but some of them hope that it is legal so they can feel good and be high. it could severely damaged to their body and brains.

Again, not my problem. That's their choice. For me, I support legalization for medicine reasons and properly way to use it to protect our bodies safely and healthy. Thats it.

Every chemical you put into your body has effects. Any medic will tell you that. Safe is very much a relative term, and while smoking weed is probably not ideal it seems about on par with a lot of other things people do.

Yes, of course there is a side effect. I am aware of that.. That's why I am target at Marijuana being smoking is unacceptable but since it is legalise so that's fine and what they wants to do with it is their business and their body. I will cherish mine and respect my body.

In FL when they legalized medical, they only authorized edibles and vapes. They had vapes as we think of them (with a pen-battery etc) but they also had literal vaporizers that came with pods. Inside the pods was actual marijuana lol. So they did try to legislate the not smoking it part, but ya some people just took it out of the pods and did what they wanted with it, as people do w/ most things.
