I read the third link, and that one's actually pretty fair. BoringSupreez, notice the difference between the articles. How one is peppered with references to academic journals and the others are not. The first two are political propaganda pieces, nothing else.

The last article appears to come from an actual health care provider with concern for his patients. That's refreshing. It is absolutely the case that heavy marijuana smoking can lead to COPD. Yes heavy marijuana smoking can cause slight deficits in memory.

But you have to keep this in perspective. Every medicine has side effect, and every recreation has associated risks. I would never get on a motorcycle, because I like having a convex skull. Other people have no problem taking that risk, and as a society we have no problem with them accepting that risk. All I ask is that drug use gets the same courtesy.

Completely false statement. Some people will use their intelligence when high, some won't. The same can be said for non smokers.

These should answer your question, and give good arguments against marijuana in other categories as well.

Wow, that actually answered my question completely.

You have no idea what you are talking about, and are just trying to justify why you made your choice. It needs no justification, you can do whatever you want.

But that shit is just straight up silly.

Oh wait, sorry, I have no baraiin sells left, don't listen to me.
