Judging by the responses, I gather very few, if any of you, understand how pot "gets you high".
It's really very simple; smoking pot lowers your blood sugar, which is why folks get the munchies when they smoke it. Nothing more or less, not counting the smoke in your lungs part. You can get a similar effect from fasting for a few days.
It is not a "drug" in the pure sense of the word, but rather an herb. Unlike alcohol, if you are uncomfortably high or are about to get pulled over by the man, you can scarf a candy bar and be straight as an arrow in just a few minutes, which beats the hell out of a DUI!
It is not, for anybody, addictive physically, though if you enjoy being high then of course you might like to stay that way, but if not there is absolutely no withdrawal. Pot is seriously dangerous for diabetics, of course, because it screws with one's blood sugar levels, but it can not cause it.
It has only been internationally illegal since 1949 when the US tobacco and alcohol companies forced the issue in the UN, as they did 10 years previously in the US.
Lastly, it is not federally illegal to posses pot, but rather a tax crime if you haven't paid for the tax stamp, which is quite steep and hard to get. So they get you, like Al Capone, on a tax beef!
If pot was completely legal, how much and how often would you use it?
