Just because it dosen't kill you doesn't mean it's healthily
God I hate ipods. Again, it is not. It produces an enjoyable feeling, much the same ways Video games, exercise and sex do. Granted some people do become addicted to those things and experience withdraw like symptoms without it, but they don't go rob a liquor store to pay their Gym fees.
And who gives two shits if its not healthy? Who are you to tell me what I can and can't do to MY body? Thats something for me and my Dr. to decide not the federal or even state government.
Saying the Government has a right to tell me what I can and can't put in my body as a responsible adult is no different then them trying to introduce thought crime laws. And because the sheeple of the United States just nodded and cheered when it was "linked" to communism and later on terrorism(which is BS, I know for a fact 80% of my pot comes from a farm in North Carolina as does most pot in my state) just goes to show that most people don't know what they're talking about.
There is a reason several European countries have even all out legalized it or at the very least decriminalized it. Yet in the US its a schedule 1 narcotic? Anyone with two rocks to rub together for brains can tell you pot is not in the same category as Meth, Cocaine and Heroine.

Schedule I
(a) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
(b) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
(c) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
First lets address A, high potential for abuse. When I think drug abuse I think of people selling off possessions and eventually whoring themselves out to fund their habit. I've seen real drug abuse, stoners are not abusers.
B, no currently accepted medical us in treatment. Ignoring California's medical marijuana laws(which the DEA still thinks it has a legal right to raid state liscensed distributors); in the mid 80's MCV, one of the most highly respected medical colleges in the country, did some research and found that it helps to kill off cancerous cells in lab mice when coupled with other treatments. They also recorded that it helped relieve pain without the nasty side effects of prescription drugs, increased hunger in Chemo patients, relieved inflammation and generally resulted in a high quality of living for terminally ill cancer patients without stuffing them full of hundreds of dollars of meds in which half of them are only there to counter the side effects of another med.
C, I leave you with this which could also be applied to B...

Speaking to The New York Times in a January 19, 2010 article entitled, “Researchers Find Medical Study of Marijuana Discouraged,” NIDA spokeswoman Shirley Simson said: “As the National Institute on Drug Abuse, our focus is primarily on the negative consequences of marijuana use. We generally do not fund research focused on the potential beneficial medical effects of marijuana.”
The NIDA is the government organization that has to sign off on the governments stash of research marijuana... anyone else see a problem?
TL;DR
Don't trust what you hear in school from DARE officers and teachers who are payed to teach that shit. Do your own research and learn how fucked over the system is.
