i think thats pretty much anywhere. More people are in jails for marijuana possesion than any other crime. Its an easy way for the law enforcement agencies to make money.

Vaporizers solve the carcinogen problem, and how many people do you know that smoke 20-40 joints a day???

Been watching Reefer Madness a little much ey?

rates of schizophrenia don’t vary with rates of cannabis use,(Wayne Hall and Nadia Solowij, “Adverse Effects of Cannabis,” Lancet, vol. 352, pp. 1611–1616, 1998.) symptoms tend to precede use, and many schizophrenics say weed helps them feel better,(L. Dixon, et al., “Drug Abuse in Schizophrenic Patients: Clinical Correlates and Reasons for Use,” American Journal of Psychiatry, vol. 148, pp. 224–230, 1991.)
