People that think marijuana use leads to heroin use are people who've never tried it and/or are mindless indoctrinated idiots.

I think it's much more of a social cause and effect than anything directly attributable to the drug itself.  Loser pot smokers hang out with other loser pot smokers, they're in a situation and ya man I'll try heroine cool.

I wanted to specifically differentiate between loser pot smokers and everyday normal successful people who happen to smoke pot, of which I am aware there are some that actually exist.

The notion that weed is safer than alcohol and vice versa is so absurd it's ot even worth debating.

I thinks the statistics that weed is safer is based on car crashes or cirrhosis or something absurd like that.

Every person who wants to smoke pot is already doing it. Legalization will do very little to increase its use.

Also, marijuana used as a supplement to opiates can cut the opiate use in half for people with chronic pain. Granted, you are trading one drug for another, but marijuana is much less harmful to your internal organs than opiates.

You are saying that the idea that weed is safer than alcohol is absurd.
And also that the idea that alcohol is safer than weed is absurd.

Do I understand this correctly?

The difference is that too much alcohol can kill you and too much weed can't. 

Although both are dangerous because they both can impair you to the point where you make reckless decisions.

alcohol is more dangerous to a user, and to people around the user, than marijuana. i mean, it's not even close.

So what?  I don't think it will go bananas, though.   Testing detects it for weeks and legalizing it won't effect the fact that your boss can fire you for having in your system

This is why it needs to be legal federally.

The basis for employers still being able to fire people is that it is still a federal crime.

Employers can't have a company policy that employees can't smoke pot if it's not a federal crime?

It would be like having a policy that you can't drink alcohol outside of work hours.

Also medical marijuana would be protected by the ADA if it wasn't a schedule 1 drug.

Yeah. I'm assuming companies can do that. I'm really don't know if they can, though.
