Marijuana has been around forever.
Preaching? Well, mostly only when people make retarded statements like this thread, calling it "poison" when it clearly is very beneficial to many, many people, and harmful to none. So here's question for you.... why do people still have to rail against and denounce (and outlaw) a plant that helps people and has killed no one? What is to be gained?

It's a drug to me, TLC, the same as alcohol, nicotine, coffeine, anything that alters your mind or temporarily changes your physiological profile.
For example you can't drive under the influence of TLC and lots of people become extremely annoying after consuming it, although I'm sure there are also those where you barely notice they've been smoking.
Same thing with any drug or my alcohol abuse, I was able to come and talk to people after consuming what would get most totally drunk and annoying and no one could tell that I'm not sober, but it doesn't make it any better - it's just advanced abuse.
It alters one's mind, obviously if it had no effect on one's mind we wouldn't have millions of manic pot preachers around, we wouldn't have repeat abusers.
I don't see people preach around to others that they should drink milk or eat bananas with the same passion as they try to support smoking marijuana, I also don't see millions of people abusing bananas on a daily basis, yet I see millions smoking marijuana daily, and the only thing they have in common is a complete and utter denial they live in.
Hell I don't even see myself preaching "healthy lifestyle", although I'm almost an "expert" in that now, yet I don't care, I don't interfere with what's important to other people or what they do. I only wish others do the same.
I'm not in disagreement and totally agree that it has medical effects too, just making a point here.
