Weed is schedule 1 because of the hippie movement in the 60s. The .gov was trying to control them, and they all smoked weed, so that gave them an excuse. Before that, it was a misdemeanor to have a pound of dope. It is beyond stupid. Fact is, the founders of this country all grew marijuana. Some will say it was only for the hemp, but the fact of the matter is, and this is verifiable, George Washington never made a profit on the vast fields of MJ that he grew in terms of hemp, but he continued to grow it even though he could have made var more money growing cotton or tobacco. Why do you think that is? Cause they were smoking it. It was not considered a drug, hell every well-to-do person sniffed opium back then, a little weed was nothing. I say blaze up. Drunk people are @ssholes, kill people while driving and are generally crappy to be around. Stoned people eat cheetos. I always laugh at the people who act like weed is sooo bad while they drink a six pack each night. If it has to be processed, it is probably isn't good for you. Weed is natural, its from the earff. An occasional doobie never hurt anyone. I'm not saying you should do it everyday, but if it were legal there would be a lot less angry people in the world.
As for the whole gateway thing, BS. If you are going to do hard drugs, you probably started with alcohol anyway.
