Greetings to the W52 community.
Hugs, not drugs!
Marajuana use kills brain cells. Brain cells do not grow back. Once they are dead ... that is it. They are not Jesus.
Legalizing Mary Jane is silly. The person who started this thread with the silly arguments of economic and judicial upliftment is just plain silly. You need a hug. Not leagalization of a drug. The same argument could be applied to rape. Let's legalize rape so our prisons will be less teeming with rapists and send them back into society to rape and pillage in front of our children. Don't be silly.
This is the first time that the Magnus has seen this silly topic in TW. Hopefully t'will be last.
Fight for your mind.
That is all.

Hugging, not drugging!
Your argument that cannabis kills brain cell's is incorrect, The reason people started saying cannabis killed brain cells was because of the Heath/Tulane Study of 1974. Heath reported that rhesus monkeys when given the equivalent of 30 joints a day began to atrophy and die after 90 days. (that is 2700 joints, or average 1.25 joints and hour every 24 hours for 90 days straight. When Heath killed the test monkeys and the control monkeys and found dead brain cells in the test monkeys, he concluded that cannabis was responsible for the brain damage.
However, it has since been revealed how the tests were conducted.
Not only were the monkeys given 63 joints in 5 minutes, the smoke was administered through a facial mask with no additional oxygen. As you will find in any CPR or first aid manual 3 to 5 minutes of oxygen deprivation will cause brain damage. The monkeys were suffocating not loosing brain cells from the cannabis.
Comparing the legalization of cannabis to rape is moronic plus who says the economic benefits of cannabis legalization would be silly? Taxing the crop would provide wealth that could be used on hospitals or going after the real criminals in this world like the rapists you seem so keen on.
