Responding to "Marijuana better and safer than Ritalin?"
I have a pretty good idea of what pot does and doesn't do, and while I laugh heartily at government propaganda marketing marijuana as the next plague, we have to be honest, a drug is a drug.
Is marijuana safer than alcohol? Yes. Will marijuana cure someone of their depression? Doubtful. It may put everything in a new light, but the drug itself is a downer and once the smoker is "poor baked" and the initial high is gone, they tend be left with an overwhelming feeling of worthlessness.
As far as curing ADHD, yes, it will chill the common speed freak out, but its value as an educational tool is laughable at best. Enhancing memory retention isn't one of pot's strong suits.
Oh, well, the more cases we can make to legalize that funky, little drug, the better.
