Silly hippy, weed is a gateway drug!
Dur, studies have shown that weed is a gateway drug, leading into people doing the stuff that's really harmful to you like crack, heroin, and acid. I also know it's a gateway drug because my 3 other siblings all smoked weed, and it just wasn't enough for them after a while. My brother got into it so heavily that he would steal money from my parents to pay for it.
Not only that, but although marijuana improves short-term memory while under the influence, it fries your short-term memory in the long run. Alzheimer's anyone?
It also burns at a higher temperature than cigarettes, causing the cilia in your lung to die and grow back retarded or stunted.
Perhaps instead of getting your facts from iloveweed. com and imAFuckingHippyLoserGasStationAtendant. com you should try a website with some credibility.
I've seen the effects of it from my siblings. It's illegal for a reason.
