Also this isn't mentioned but it is a benefit none-the-less, I have noticed I have extremely shaky nerves in that I cant hold my hand still, when I'm high that effect is lessened. I am high almost everytime I am behind the wheel and it has benefitted there as well. A. I drive slower because I am in no hurry when I'm high, B. I dont go into road-rage as easy, C. I'm more observant, because I am constantly on the lookout for John Q. Law, therefore I see traffic and obstacles well in advance.

The Government is being stupid, because of the money they could make on a Marijauna tax alone, but like your post said, I belive legallizing it would reduce other drug use. I have tried alot of drugs most of which was before I ever took my first toke of herb, I was the only kid in the neighborhood who didn't smoke cigarettes, didn't smoke weed but i'd drop acid or X every weekend, since then I have quit acid (mostly because it doesn't exsist anymore :( ) now all I do is weed. If anything its kept me from trying other junk. I'm irish I cant drink or I'll be an alcoholic like my dad.

I am addicted to weed, so I know that portion of the post is false, I have tried to quit and failed. It's not a psyco-addiction because Acid has no addicting effect whatsoever and the psyco-active effects are far more intense than weed and I dont have the slightest "urge" to take acid (other than its the funnest drug I have ever taken :) )

great info and post, thanks 420.
Psychological addiction has nothing to do with the hallucinogenic potency...
