Then tell us why it is illegal in the United States of America and other numerous countries :]

"Many people assume that marijuana was made illegal through some kind of process involving scientific, medical, and government hearings; that it was to protect the citizens from what was determined to be a dangerous drug.
The actual story shows a much different picture. Those who voted on the legal fate of this plant never had the facts, but were dependent on information supplied by those who had a specific agenda to deceive lawmakers. You’ll see below that the very first federal vote to prohibit marijuana was based entirely on a documented lie on the floor of the Senate.
You’ll also see that the history of marijuana’s criminalization is filled with:
- Racism
- Fear
- Protection of Corporate Profits
- Yellow Journalism
- Ignorant, Incompetent, and/or Corrupt Legislators
- Personal Career Advancement and Greed
These are the actual reasons marijuana is illegal."
Do some research, find some unbiased report or documentary and you'll get your facts straight.
In Sweden they tell you it's as bad as using heroin, I wouldn't even start to compare them since they're of entirely different nature.
Of course smoking is bad for you. Smoking anything is bad for you! Cigarettes has more than just tobacco and nicotine in it that makes it worse. Pure tobacco is probably better, but nonetheless bad for you.
The substance in cannabis (THC) itself does not harm you. If you haven't fully grown and matured yet, the THC can have a bad effect on your brain which causes bad memory recollection and you have a harder time with sense of orientation/direction and such.
Adults using it does not have a long-term effect in that way. If they stop using it, things will get back to normal.

Look Im not against using it. Why? if you do it at parties and chilling with friends its fine. Its all in moderation. Honestly, compare a person whos high with some1 whose completly wasted. (most of you probably never done these things so you wouldnt know) The person whose baked usually is sitting down, chilling, eating. But compare it to the person whose wasted,screaming running all over the place and throwing up and feeling like s**t in the morning. When youre high, you mostly feel calmer, tired, and when your burnt out at the end of the day, you sleep well and wake up feeling good.
Overall, its way better in those SITUATIONS.
If your doing at school then its a completly different story. When your education is being effected by this then that when i think you should reconsider.
All im saying is, weed at parties if fine. for most people as you grow older youll grow old of it. Just remember to think about it and make a good choice. Im not trying to promote it but i am saying that its is way better than getting wasted.
If your against all these things or have never tried it, than that is up to you and is a good choice but also means that you probably dont know alot about it in a sense that you can only say so much about it.

Agreed!
Smoking it in school would be like drinking in school. Not okay!
And just because it's legal, you don't have to use it every day. Using alcohol every day makes you an alcoholic, using weed every day ain't much better in that sense. Except, maybe that you're calmer, easier to deal with and probably not as much of a prick.
I'm for making it legal so that people that want to use it doesn't have to be situated with criminals and dealers trying to push harder drugs. People should be able to do whatever they want with their own bodies, as long as it doesn't directly affect somebody else.
