Why Do People Who Are Against Marijuana Have to Lie About It?
Question by Sinbad: Why do people who are against marijuana have to lie about it?
I was just on a marijuana addiction website and entire homepage is full of lies and twisted statements. Like “Often a person with marijuana addiction will make continuous excuses about why now is not a good time to stop using the drug.”. The reason why people say that is because when a person asks a smoker “Why don’t you just stop smoking?” the only answer to come to a persons head is “I don’t want to” or “I don’t want to now” so they automatically think they’re addicts. I’m sure they don’t go up to there family or friends and tell them to not have that drink of alcohol after they have a long day at work. They don’t tell the college student that they don’t have to drink all weekend. All the anti-marijuana people can do is twist statements and make up “facts” about weed. Take this entry for example: “There is a good reason why admission to rehabilitation facilities has doubled for marijuana addiction. The potency of the drug continues to get more powerful and studies show that teens can get a hold of marijuana often easier than alcohol. Even those who seek treatment for drugs that are perceived has “harder” like heroin or cocaine will often acknowledge that marijuana is their primary drug of choice.” The potency of the drug is the same as the 70’s it’s just people have gotten better at growing it. It’s easier to get a hold of weed than it is alcohol for teens for the sheer fact that stores check ID’s and not every teen knows a 21 year old. Drug dealers don’t care how old you are as long as you have money. Just because a heroin or cocaine addict says marijuana is their drug of choice does not make it a worse drug. So back to my original question. Do these people really have to make up things about marijuana just so they have some sort of debate against us smokers?
All of my information on this came from this site: http://www.marijuana-addiction.net/
a lot of people are going to try harder drugs anyways. to say that marijuana was the cause of it is stupid. I wouldn’t of ever tried cocaine if i wasnt drunk and my friend asked if i wanted to try it. so you could say that friend’s are the gateway. If my friends are trying drugs I am more likely to try those drugs because I see that they are fine and i figure what the hell.

Marijuana addiction is a myth invented by the alcohol industry which gave over $ 60 Million to EACH side in the election cycle of ’08. MJ does not, and cannot trigger true addiction as it does not fire the addiction receptors in the human brain. This old story is all propaganda, written to give corrupt politicians (all of them) something to point to when asked why they are keeping a full 3% of American adults in the penal system.
It’s just lies and corruption.
