Is pot smoking evil?!

[Weltall]

Now, cigarettes I don't feel the same about. They don't alter your mind and perception the way marijuana does. I don't defend cigarettes out of love, I actually hate them and I think it's a terribly filthy and worthless activity, but I don't mind people who wish to smoke in their own cars or homes, hell, even segregated smoking areas in restaurants are fine with me.

Alcohol in my opinion is far more dangerous and destructive than tobacco, and it's funny how not only does the government ignore alcohol, it also is sympathetic to weed, both being substances that can rob you of your cognitive ability and can impair your ability to operate a vehicle or even walk straight, yet they pursue tobacco with zeal, when the worst it can do to someone else is give them cancer from secondhand smoke exposure after fifty years.

Actually, I'm in favor of making illegal drug trafficking a capital crime, as that practice is responsible for (wild guess) a good half of the murders in America. Our legal system needs to get it's priorities in check and start going after the root of the problem.

In China, possession of weed carries a mandatory seven year sentence, and dealers of that and others are executed. For once, they have the right idea.
