Compared to alcohol and tobacco, (which are legal) cannabis is a lot safer then both, even combined. Like you already know, those drugs kill while cannabis does NOT. The reasons behind cannabis' illegailty in the united states if mostly due to corrupt officials spreading bias propaganda (reefer madness) There is no good reason why cannabis is illegal today, not when alchol and tobacco continue to kill hundreds of thousands of people a year. Why are these drugs socially acceptable again? Oh yeah, capitalism =/

I don't know what your dad's main arguements are: Probably that you could get into trouble legally, like i said research more about the hypocrisy of why it is illegal. Welcome to Jack Herer's Home on the Web. Read it, learn it, share it. Show to your dad that you can be responsible with your cannabis use and try to keep up your grades if you're not already. Maybe that helped. Keep on tokin.
