In response to My Assumption posted by paper_turtle:

Here's what I mean about the media.
.
Marijuana is not a dangerous drug in comparison to alcohol or most other substances. It can be seen as being a good thing. It is not addictive in the physical sense are most other substances. Yet, the media goes along with the hype that makes it the so-called gateway to all other substance abuse.
.
Alcohol is a very dangerous substance and especially that is true in certain bodily functions such as the one that processes sugar. Maybe you know about the Krebs Cycle?

.
Other drugs to which individuals can be addicted such as Crack Cocaine induce highly recognizable personality characteristics that can be profiled; yet, the media spends almost no time or effort exposing those characteristics.
.
My point is that the media spends great effort finding fault with marijuana.that is such a harmless substance. Why? Why not put heavy emphasis on vicodin and other narcotic pain killers that are abused. I have heard that vicodin is the most addictive drug available next to cigarettes. The word is that poor and homeless veterans take public transportation to pick up prescriptions for vicodin and other narcotics at VA pharmacies. Later, they sell the drugs to users that have already givent hem standing orders for purchase.
.
Are you familiar with any of this?
