Kind of like the "million dollar" warehouse breweries and stills during prohibition.

"I have been in grow houses that have been seized in Vancouver where you are frightened to see little children's toys, brightly colored three-wheel bikes on the ground and they obviously have gas tanks there, where they have increased the carbon dioxide level in the house. That, coupled with the electrical wiring, which is not done in a professional manner has frequently caused fires in a lot of places and the open chemicals for hydroponic grows, as well as fertilizers in the context where you have children is of course, very dangerous."

Happened to be channel surfing and caught that story on world news. Fuckin propaganda! The biggest addiction going is Marijuana?
I love it when they say MJ growers use dangerous chemicals. Like the produce people by at the market was grow using only cow shit. Stories like this are just an attempt by our government to demonize MJ. What better way to turn a neighbor into a snitch than by putting out a story about how your neighbor is possibley growing Mj and using harmful chemicals. Fuckin bastards
I wish the anchor person would have a rep from Norml with them in the studio to discuss the story as they air it.

It's a crime trend that's troubling the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), which released a report last month saying that marijuana potency has nearly doubled since 1983 -- leading to what the ONDCP calls a spike in marijuana addiction.
In an interview with ABC News, the director of Drug Control Policy for the ONDCP, John Walters, said that currently "the single biggest cause of addiction in the United States among illegal drugs is not cocaine, is not meth[amphetamine] is not heroin. It's marijuana.''
pahleeeeze

The single biggest cause of addiction in the United States is pressure put on us by inconsiderate pricks in our capital, not a drug.
Also not to nitpick, but isn't the cause of an addiction an outside factor other than a drug? A person doesn't just wake up one day addicted (other than 'crack babbies' or whatever the p/c term is now) to meth, something drives them to that drug. The drug is just what they're addicted to, the solution if you will to the 'cause'.

if they were to lump all drugs together, legal or not, I'd like to see where marijuana ranks...definately not #1

You guys are all on the wrong page. Sorry to put it out there like that, but we miss a critical component of prohibition / the war on people here that is absolutely critical to righting the problem.
Marijuana is not illegal because it is harmful or addictive. (I find it 'addictive', not like ciggerettes, which I broke, but I'm of the habit, for sure.)
Marijuana is not illegal because it is harmful or addictive.
Marijuana is illegal to keep hemp off the market. Yup. Thats it. I've included the pharmacuetical value under hemp, basically creating hemp / recreational substance categories.
Why don't they get shitty on booze? I think it makes you lazy, enslaves you. Kills you. Hemp would also cut into nearly all of their cash grabs. Petroleum, textiles, pharma, lumber. The people exploiting these sectors all stand to lose big, and they're all very well represented in the US.
Cannabis is revolutionary, seems obvious to me.
How lucky they get psychoactive properties to demonize! You can stop focusing any and all energies of educating anyone in a position to do anything about it regarding the harmless nature of the cannabis plant when smoked. They need to know why they believe marijuana is harmful, not simply that their belief is wrong.

And I was simply pointing out that such discussion is utterly pointless. We're sitting here discussing this as if nobody knows. Well, they do. What they do not know, is -- why would they say it's dangerous if it isn't?
I see you know all about the reasons marijuana is classified illegal, thats great, but maybe you should focus on the reasons behind it that outrages everyone, not just stoners.
"Harmful or addictive" -- not EVEN part of the equation. Close your book. There aren't pictures in it anyway.
By the way, my urge to smoke marijuana is intense, yes I can put off my fix, but if I don't have it, I want it. I get cranky, can't sleep. When I do, I wake up every ten minutes drenched in sweat. I have funky dreams and its just generally bad.
So is marijuana addictive? For some. Then again, cocaine wasn't addictive at all to me, same with alcohol.
Point is, we don't need to lie about its addictive nature. It's fun, and can be habit forming. This is a non-issue, there is already PLENTY of precident of both harmful AND addictive products being perfectly legal. A good talking point if any idiot wishes to speak of it would be to note that it is both less harmful, and less addictive than tobacco.
Anyone who says otherwise is probably scared of their own dependance OR can honestly take it or leave it. Remember, everyone responds differently.
