A good explanation.
I agree with you completely. The government's top priority on the topic of drug use is elmininating Marijuana, due to the fact that they consider it a gateway drug. What they don't realize, like you've stated, is that when they only attack -one- specific drug, in this case, Marijuana, they fail to teach people the dangers of other, more harmful drugs. And for the people out there that think that everyone who smokes pot must be unintelligent, or in their words, stupid -- that's a basic stereotype. Marijuana affects the brain, but only the area that controls short-term memory, which is always regained eventually.
