One person eats a very good diet with lots of veggies and whole grains. This person is healthy but smokes pot which in turn makes them less motivated if they smoke too much of it. The other person smokes no pot, but is morbidly obese and eats McDonalds 3 times a day. Does pot just make people lazy without any other consequences? Is this a public health issue? Which health issue is more harmful to society and the individual, junk food or pot?

Correct. Correct. The Founding Fathers grew it, so you'd think more Republicans would join their Libertarian friends in decriminalizing it. Pot doesn't make all people lazy, it makes lazy people more easily entertained. Pot does contain 3 times more tar per ounce than cigarettes and still contains carcinogens.

You cannot be healthy and smoke pot. That is an oxymoron. "Long-term marijuana abuse can lead to addiction; that is, compulsive drug seeking and abuse despite its known harmful effects upon social functioning in the context of family, school, work, and recreational activities. Long-term marijuana abusers trying to quit report irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and drug craving, all of which make it difficult to quit. " from the NIDA

Its a question of how many vote it in, not facts of public health. If a majority of voters perceive it to be dangerous, that will be the ruling.

1. It can harm you and make you do dangerous things under it's influence. 2. It is the gateway drug so ur teenage potheads could someday be heroin addicts.

It is a legal problem because it impairs a persons ability to function, as in driving etc...,and with no viable test for level of intoxication we are best served with it illegal.

Pot is not a health issue. The stuff has more health benefits than the government wants us to know about. The only thing that is wrong with the stuff,(in my opinion only), is that it is illegal, and you are refused a decent job if it is detected in your blood stream, or urine stream, er,, you get my drift. I'm only just saying.

I have no idea which would be worse, probably junk food 3 times a day. Marijuana is not harmless, it does not just make you lazy, it is linked to numerous diseases and mental disorders.

I don't know about your comparisons, but for the record I am Conservative and I have no problem with legalizing pot.
