This is because the drug is found to have good use in medication purposes. But we also can't predict if there are other reasons for this. And as expected, there might be an increase in marijuana addiction and more problems would arise. <a href="http://www.cannabisquitter.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/16-Marijuana-Addiction-Support" rel="nofollow">Quitting cannabis</a> also might not be an option for many people.Alfred Gamboahttp://www.cannabisquitter.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/16-Marijuana-Addiction-Supportnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155133175831479740.post-77235993600770308302013-01-07T18:26:08.252-05:002013-01-07T18:26:08.252-05:00Nice post, and I not only do not think it's cr...Nice post, and I not only do not think it's crazy but rather propose that it is the most sensible, compassionate, and socially responsible thing to do to thoughtfully decriminalize marijuana and now. <br><br>Much is available to read on this topic, but it is absolutely clear that the illegality of marijuana is tied to violence and crime against both people and property from Durham to Guadalajara and beyond. While many people still equate "legalization" or "decriminalization" with "approbation", that is simply not good thinking. In a world where drunk people commit all manner of atrocities, including giving birth to sick children that become a burden to themselves and society, calling marijuana the greater evil is, quite simply, illogical nonsense. <br><br>We cannot create public policy based on prejudice and vague notions of morality. We must create public policy, rather, based on what we know to be true and what we know is that too many lives are ruined under the current marijuana laws.Dorothy Potter Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437027506822572629noreply@blogger.com
