Ever heard of Marijuana poisoning? Nope... that's why it should be legal. Alchohol poisoning happens every day in this country... that's why there is a legal limit in every bottle. Try drinking alchohol in it's purest form... you could die! Alchohol also causes more damage to your organs. Alchohol is a dangerous drug... when people abuse it!


Can you show me that Alcohol drinks cause more harm then marijuana to body organs or people?

Marijuana is used in abundance in other countries where there aren't any punishments by the law (Amsterdam)... and still there are no cases where someone overdosed on cannabis. I read somewhere that you'd have to consume about 4 pounds of cannabis to even feel like you're going to OD. However, you'd probably fall asleep before then. Not the same with alchohol though. Cigarettes have poisons in addition to the actual tobacco... a naturally grown edible plant has none. I keep hearing the same reasons for keeping MJ illegal.... all sounds like lame politician's arguments or reasoning.


It's not all about overdosing though. I'm talking about how marijuana causes more damage on a per unit basis then tobacco or alcohol, you can't refute that statement. People will abuse alcohol just like they abuse other drugs. Why? Cause they're stupid. And just because it is a plant doesn't make it good, hell there's 100 of plants that are poisonous, should we have them be legal for consumption? Of course not, just because it's something natural, doesn't mean it can't cause harm.
Cevap your comments make you sound like one of those politicians that have their own agenda or are just so ignorant, that you really don't know what's what. MJ has existed in the world for centuries... it's only been illegal in the US for less then 80 years... why? Scare tactics, racism, inside business purposes and other political BS. These reasons aren't good enough. Get real!


And Morphine was readily available 500 years ago and used by many, opium and it's products have also been legal before. Should we allow them today too? Crystal Meth was given to pregnant women in the 20th century to keep them skinny and upbeat during the pregnancy, maybe we can start that again?

yeah I know that the czech krone isn't as valuable as the scandinavian ones. I just wanted to point out that there are also some countries that share the same currency ;)

I'm not sure if we really have issues with medicine. I personally can't complain but I've heard about a lot of cases when some people had a lot difficulties. I think it fits well into what I've mentioned earlier that it slowly gets worse here.


The czech still isn't the same currency. It's just not the euro. I was in Prague a couple of months ago, and as a Dane I pronounced it as 'Karonaer'. It's also just a matter of time before Sweden, Denmark & Norway unite, IMO. That would make sense for all parties since we share a lot of views in both politics and general living.

Well, you're German. So you tell me. I've only heard about the medicine difficulties throught the media. So naturally, I can be way off :lol:

but your "hate" to each other is so sweet that you can't unite :D

and by saying hate I mean each country loves themselves the most and sorta disrepects the other ones ;)

I wouldn't say our medical system or support is generally bad but it has gone downhill for a few years now. medicine gets more expensive, if you head to a doc you need to pay 10 euros in a quarter of a year and there are also some other costs you have to pay now which didn't occur like 5 years ago. but still I think our medical support is kinda good. I just hope it doesn't keep going downhill.
