June 28, 2012 #5 - Less Chance of Baby-Making
This may not be a deterrent for some. Actually, if you have absolutely no desire to have children, this fact may even drive you toward smoking pot. Let's say for argument sake, you do plan on starting a family some day
June 28, 2012 #4 - Weed Makes You Stupid
A guy I went to high school with was a heavy pot smoker. One of those guys who used any amount of spare time to blaze up. As the years went on, you could see the toll it had taken on his brain

In this world of 24-hour news channels, those with the loudest voices and most polarizing positions seem to get the most recognition regardless of whether or not they have their facts straight.
