The reason why I made the distinction between marijuana, and "chemicals", is that marijuana is a naturally occuring plant, and for all intent, harmless.

Chemicals, on the other hand are highly addictive, and contrary to popular belief, do have victims... with long term effects, or have you never run across crack, meth, and heroin addicts?? or seen folks OD on crack, meth or heroin??

Have you ever heard of somebody die from weed?? or OD on weed?? or commit crimes to support a weed addiction?? I haven't.

If you really want to take a close look, then look at the death and destruction caused by alcohol.... sure there are untold numbers that just have a drink now and then... social drinkers if you will...

But then you already have your mind made up, and don't have the lifes experiences to draw on. You can believe what you want, but I have seen with my own eyes.

Maybe you should take a step back and take a look at the big picture once in a while. BTW, your nick is very appropriate.

have a nice life.
