For Counter points.. so none take this to heart..
This movie, is obivious to advocate weed, as well as inform, and for those purposes it does well. What I think it fails to introduce is the true danger of weed. Here are a few counter points that I have seen I would like to mention.
A: Yes, people do get arrested for smoking a plant. Mainly because almost all naracotics and other habit forming drugs are dirived from such plants. None of them that are street drugs are synthetically made, other then those administer in hospitals. Is it possible to get these? Yes, but harder.
B: Weed is not harmless for many factors. It is a gateway drug by creating a chemical imbalance in the mind and building up a tolerance. By building up a tolerance, you need a larger amount to get high or to have the same effect. Which means, people go to stronger drugs. Not all, but some.
C: Most weed is not straight laced when it come off the street. Nothing is grown straight, and everything has some type of chemical embalance. Remeber, weed messes with the brain and the brain hates chemical imbalances. To make matters worse, drug dealers often lace the weed to make larger amounts, lacing it with common cleaners and other additives, that can not be measured in easy amouts and have little, or no recorded data on them. Nor do the drug dealers care.
D: Why not to leagalize weed: It's simple, it's a gate way drug, that impares the mind, meaning that anyone doing it, like drinking can make irrational choices. Which can be dangerous for anyone or anything they come into contact with.
E: You can't easily overdose on weed. While this is true, I have personally witnessed those who had allergic and violent reactions to stuff laced in weed.
F: Weed is good for your health. False, weed has more tar in, ten times more, then cigarettes. It also, damages the frontal lobe, which is used for imiagary and creative thought. To create a high effect, the weed breaks down and metabolises brain cells.. The only type of cell you can't get back.
I hope these points do those, who consider doing weed some good. I've personally seen these things happen and have done my own experiments.
