[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1378095, member: 5151"] That totally defies the logical statement you made previously. Believing that marijuana is a "gateway drug" is akin to believing that black rifles are "assault rifles". You're buying the buzzword without understanding what it really means. By using the "gateway drug" concept, then alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and sugar should all be prohibited, as they all result in highs that lead some with certain personalities to pursue a greater high. The sad thing is, "harder drugs" are legal. I can get a scrip for cocaine if I can demonstrate the need for that particular topical anesthetic. I can get a scrip for Desoxyn (methamphetamine) if I am a significantly overweight adult or a child with ADHD where alternatives such as Ritalin and Adderall have not worked. In fact, the recommended dosage of Desoxyn for kids with ADHD is 20mg or more if necessary to achieve satisfactory clincal results per day. Many meth users run 5-10mg per day. That's an apples to oranges comparison. Legalizing marijuana reduces the secondary crimes associated with the industry, such as robberies, burglaries, and murders. Amnesty only reduces the primary crime of being an illegal immigrant. I disagree. What you have described is a drug abuser, the same as an alcoholic. I've seen marijuana help many people, and the same goes (to a lesser extent) for the coca plant. [/QUOTE]
