The UN Doesn't Like Pot

For anyone who believes that pot is a gateway drug, the UN's recent report that marijuana is as dangerous as cocaine or heroin is a very good thing. That said, it looks like the gateway drug argument doesn't hold much sway in BC though, since most of the report's opponents are located a mere stone's throw from the Vancouver Art Gallery steps.

This is one of those instances where you kind of have to agree with the people who are against the UN on this. Pot makes people slow and hungry, not really very dangerous states unless you happen to be a cannibal. Although, put a little weed in the hands of Axl Rose, and he might eat a man's entire leg instead of just biting it. That's certainly worth a little law enforcement, even if pot smoking isn't.

Did the alcoholic drink milk before becoming an alcoholic? Is milk a gateway? Gateway theory is based on the idea that a few people out of many have a personality trait that drives them to always wants something more. Marijuana doesn't cause that personality trait. If marijuana didn't exist they would still have that personality trait. One could say that sugar is the gateway because the sugar high wasn't enough. Gateway is weak.

The UN is simply protecting the global textile economy from the amazing properties of hemp.


I'm hungry.
