THEY TREAT CARS BETTER THAN BODIES
It simply amazes me what people will pollute their bodies with. Some of the
same people who pollute their bodies with drugs, including pot, (even "off
the shelf" variety of drugs), alcohol and cigarettes, wouldn't dream of
putting anything but the best quality gas and oil in their cars.
They treat their cars with great care to make them last longer and perform
better, but their own bodies . . . that's something else.
The body was designed to receive nutritious food and nothing else. In my
opinion pot should only be legalized for medical use and only if proven to
be of legitimate help. It would have to be carefully monitored.
People who use pot for a high cannot face real life as it is and get their
highs naturally from real-life activities. Most people, when young, feel
like they are invincible, but as they age, they will find out differently
and might wish they had treated their bodies much better.
Pot users might say why not use it?
My question is why use it? Find the answer to that. You don't need it. It
would be great if alcohol and cigarettes were banned too, but they are so
ingrained in our society it may take many years for that to take place, but
we can put a hold on pot now, before it takes over and becomes ingrained too.
We should put the emphasis on healthy bodies. Legalization of pot ... I
don't think so.
