Educate yourself on marijuana and you won't be placing it in the same category as Heroin, cocaine, lsd.
The reason I don't place marijuana in the same group is because it is impossible to overdose on marijuana.
According to a 1988 United States administrative law hearing:
“7. Drugs used in medicine are routinely given what is called an LD-50. The LD-50 rating indicates at what dosage fifty percent of test animals receiving a drug will die as a result of drug induced toxicity. A number of researchers have attempted to determine marijuana’s LD-50 rating in test animals, without success. Simply stated, researchers have been unable to give animals enough marijuana to induce death.
- At present it is estimated that marijuana’s LD-50 is around 1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette. NIDA-supplied marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams. A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response.
- In practical terms, marijuana cannot induce a lethal response as a result of drug-related toxicity.”
There are also many health benefits.

Weed helps more than people want to believe and as a daily pot smoker, I can tell you, I'm not lazy or unemployed which is a stereo type, I have family and financial obligations that come before anything else.
The marijuana is there to handle my anxiety issues, financial stresses of daily life and the best part of it is I don't need a prescription or have to pay the outrageous fees associated with prescription meds.
