Does this make marijuana bad????? What about if you consume it by eating it? I understand most do not do that, but what is really trying to be said?? The plant should not be illegal. It has many other uses other than an intoxicant and if someone wants to "harm themselves" by smoking it, why should they be punished? AND even then, ciggs do have filters, throw a filter on a joint and lets recalculate those studies. Why would a filter be placed on a joint? Well, because it could be legalized and sold in everyday stores with filters on them WITH taxes so the US is making money.... i just do not agree with or see a truth to the other side, being it is bad to the US and its worth spending the billions of dollars to try to rid the US or marijuana.... IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. fill the jails with non violent crimes such as simple possession of marijuana, spend mass amounts of money to try to prevent marijuana from being in the US, and manipulate the uneducated to believe what you believe seems to be what the gov. believes in
