A textbook and extremely transparent case of someone setting their own rules/questions to suit their agenda. I will entertain you somewhat by going through this like I was marking an essay, highlighting any tangental/specious reasoning and in particular the irrelevancies of many of your points.
You didn't really do that good of a job proving me wrong.

Irrelevant as it has nothing to do with the subject at hand except the law being enforced on guilty individuals, however heavy-handed.
If marijuana were legal their wouldn't be a need for that for from irrelevant

I suppose someone walking out into traffic or crashing their car when high as a kite is not a marijuana death in your opinion. The alcohol industry will be happy to hear that.
The more people who don't smoke pot get into accidents then people who ere under the influence of marijuana. The marijuana still didn't kill them. 150,000 people die from alcohol and that is not including highway deaths. Just smoking marijuana has yet to kill a single person. More deaths from marijuana are from it being illegal.

It was a study that did take place so it is impossible to prove otherwise. It's claimed results were incorrect although that does not prove anything except that that one study was wrong.
What about other studies that show marijuana increases brain function. That was a pretty. That is a pretty big lie when they say marijuana causes brain damage but it was determined by putting a gas mask on a monkey and they were forced to inhale 63 Columbian strength joints in minutes without any oxygen. What about all the other lies that were told.

Irrelevant. Plenty of other illegal things have benefits too.
Tell me what other illegal things have the same benefits of marijuana

We'll just gloss over the fact that he said that marijuana can be up to 15 times more harmful to a part of the lung than tobacco. Sounds completely harmless...
Also I can use Google to find several articles that suggest that marijuana can be anywhere between 6 and 20 times more carcinogenic than tobacco, which is more than the "cancer-fighting" can prevent. I am not going to present them though as they are no more "facts" than your presented studies.
What does this prove? That opinion remains divided and more research is required.
Tobacco also kill more people each year than AIDS,heroin,crack,cocaine,car accidents,fire,and murder combined.
Smoking marijuana could only cause a minor irritation to the large airways of the lung and is discontinued after smoking Also it was been proven that marijuana causes any changes to the small airways of the lungs unlike tobacco that causes long term and permanent damage. Also the difference between the amount of cigarettes a person smokes compared to a heavy marijuana smoker is much smaller.
Tens of millions people smoke pot regularly each year and still no caused case of lung cancer due to marijuana smoking

First part is irrelevant again as heavy-handed law enforcement is not the issue.
How is it irrelevant?

Did anyone say it does not? However, it is not a panacea. Marijuana does not cure anything. It is therapeutic and can alleviate pain/symptoms. However, it can also heighten already detrimental mental conditions.
I never said it cures anything but it is a great medicine that helps people live their lives a little easier and doesn't have the side effects that prescription medicine has.What about glaucoma? Marijuana can benefit 90% of he 2.5 million people with glaucoma and is two to three times mor effected than any current medicine for reducing occular pressure. Marijuana can be used to help asthma where taking a hit of marijuana has been known to stop an asthma attack. It could also be used to reduce tumors.

Again, irrelevant as the state of American prisons has nothing to do with the issue and again does not take into account DUI.
If pot were legal they would have never got arrested and died while in prison
Барбоса;4210499 said:
Because people continue to break the laws regarding the growing, transporting, selling and usage of marijuana makes it a failure? If that conclusion were applied across the board then law and order would collapse.
People still continue to smoke it is easier for a kid to get then tobacco and alcohol. It is wasted money spent by tax payers money. If it were to be made legal it would make over a billion dollars and we be saving money since less people will be in prison.
Marijuana is a win win situation money wise

It certainly is versatile but you are kidding yourself if you think that most people want it legalised to build houses, make rope or eat. They want it legalised so they can get high from the species of the cannabis plant that provides for it.
There are thousands and thousands of benefits from marijuana nd there is a lot to choose from if it were made legal we could do what ever we want with the world's greatest plant
