[QUOTE="buddy, post: 520365, member: 12886"] Many drugs come from nature and are poisonous...can even kill people quickly. I always, even from the time I was a kid thought it was funny when people used the argument that it was natural. Of course some things in nature are healthy and some are not... this (mj) is probably a gray area since for some people it is obviously a HUGE problem and for others, just like with alcohol, it can be used on and off with no problems. All I know, I have not one relative who uses it who is doing well in school, at work, or in relationships. It is the focus of their days. One cousin has moved onto a farm so he can grow and smoke all he wants and he is nearly 60..this has been his whole life... constant struggle. And half of his kids are doing the same. Constant trouble, constant chaos, etc. If you watch Dr. Drew and those addiction shows, the people who use pot are in just as bad condition as the others. Lives are a total mess and getting off of it is amazingly hard. My cousin's son (she died and we have cared for him among myself and my sisters) claims pot is the only way he can sleep. He only uses it at night... HA! he shows up to school high and drove his car into my sister's neighbor's garage ruining her garage door. He has had several car accidents. He has been thru so much and his dad just got out of jail for drugs. My niece stopped hanging around with him because she was scared she would die from his poor judgement. School is a total bust now that he is using and he is back with his dad who says, well what can I do? It is only pot. Heartbreaking. We are beside ourselves. (by the way, When my cousin was dying.. NONE of the pain medications worked. She was writhing in pain. It was awful. The ONLY thing that helped was pot. I would have personally gone and gotten it for her if I had to. Thank heaven for it. so, not saying there is not use... just saying it is a hard discussion) [/QUOTE]
