wait a second. Can we really can this an illegal drug, at leas in countries like the USA? i mean to make it outright illegal goes against the constitution......no no, cannot do that.
It is a "Controlled Substance". yes, that sounds right. can't get in trouble for taking away freedom if its simply controlled, cause there is still possible access in a word like "controlled"

Turns out later that it was a good thing, because whether you agree with it or not, there is a very good argument to be made that marijuana acts as a "gateway" drug, seemingly innocent, but opening the door to ever-more addictive and ever-more harmful and dangerous drugs.

that has always been a common, but very flawed/weak argument. The only way marijuana, or any
illegal substance, acts as a gateways drug is through the social conditioning that you are a criminal, your doing drugs....so it makes a person out to be a bad drug criminal, and shortens the gap between a "soft" drug and a "hard".
if perhaps you don't agree with that, perhaps it's the mind altering affects that marijuana causes. by that very standard like stated above alcohol nad even tobacco should be illegal.
fact is marijuana is less harmful than legal drugs and it alters perception as much as other legal substances.
the controlled nature of this plant is really hypocritical cause by the standards they claim either marijuana, and others, should be legal OR alcohol/tobacco and others should be controlled. it is a double standard that has no logic or reason.
