Hello Da Stef,
What you've posted is very true (and sad). Problem is, we could simply replace the word Heroin with alcohol and your point would be just as valid. Now I don't think weed, the subject of this thread, is as bad as either Heroin or Alcohol. I know for a fact that it is not physically addicting. As for both Alcohol & Heroin they are both highly "physically" addicting. Sad examples, but your Friends with heroin and my Father with Alcohol are proof of that.
So there is still the fact that by being classified as illegal weed, a non addictive mild sedative type plant, becomes a contriband that generate billions of dollars in illegal revenues every year.
The truth is nicotine is more addictive than marijauna, go figure. I'm sorry for your friends as I am for the loss of my father and all the people I lost, either to jail or dead or somewhere homless, to crack in the eighties. But, to compare weed to heroin on the basis of the fact that they are both clssified as drugs strikes directly at the problem and is not IMO even remotely a reasonable argument.
Take care,
dave
