[QUOTE="Attaus, post: 13427467, member: 150042"] Did you read any of those beyond the title? The testicular cancer one comes from USC (first strike), and they stated that the only explainable causation for the increase in test. cancer in young adult males is a "foreign substance" like marijuana. The only problem is, adult males have been smoking marijuana for a long time. It's much more likely that it is due to a new invention such as a cellphone or Banquet dinners than something that has been in this country since its founding. I don't believe that marijuana is some miracle drug, or that it makes you lazy, or any of these extreme beliefs. I don't believe that it is harmless (however, harm can be minimized), but it is clearly documented that it is less harmful than cigarettes and alcohol. Anyone who states marijuana bans are for our own good is clearly misinformed. Say that it's so we don't become lazy? How productive are you when drunk? The DEA themselves admit that while it is possible to become less productive while using marijuana, it is simply unfortunate and not the reason they pursue dealers/users. There is a lot of info on why it was banned, when it was reinstated to help soldiers fight (shortly after reefer madness), then subsequently rebanned when soldiers wouldn't fight. Since '73 when Tricky Dick instated the DEA, it has been a $2,000,000,000 interest. The majority of the DEA's budget (I can't find exact numbers, but have seen this before) has been vested in stopping marijuana. Make it legal and the DEA's $10,000 per arrest will skyrocket, thus slashing their budget. Another huge roadblock. If marijuana enthusiasts want it legalized, they should get the food & beverage industry on board, they are seemingly the only ones to counterweight the pharmaceutical companies (although no one really can) and government interests.
