Marijuana isn't considered by the federal government as anything besides one of the worst things an individual can do. They're fucking stupid. And opiates are listed to be one of the safest drugs because they cost so much, therefore meaning that companies and the feds will be able to make mass profit from our continued suffering. What you're told is what you believe until you find out otherwise. I found out by smoking that it isn't bad in any way, but there's too many people who don't try for themselves and open their minds. That's why everyone who hasn't smoked still thinks that weed's bad. Because they don't look into it or try it themselves. They say it's bad, so it's definately bad. The government isn't working for us...they're working for themselves.
