Medically: No, Legally: Yes (this obviously depends upon the jurisdiction).
-
No, I do not. A Marijuana joint is the same thing (for me) as having a couple of pints at the pub. It's nothing, basically. Cocaine and heroin are life wrecking drugs. Very addictive, very dangerous.
-
No they are not in the same class because it is not as addicting (maybe psychologically) as heroin and cocaine. I consider alcohol to be closer to heroin and cocaine than marijuana.

NO. Here's why.

The answer could be either. All three are serotonin psychedelics. That is, they mimic serotonin in the nerve-nerve synapses in the brain. Heroin and Cocaine affect the peripheral nervous system (nerve-muscle synampes) as well, and thus are physically addictive. That neurotransmitter is called acetylcholine. Nicotine is also an acetylcholine psychedelic, and is physically addictive. However, marijuana (THC) does not also affect the peripheral nervous system (nerve-muscle), as it is not an acetylcholine psychedelic. Pyschedelic is a pharmacology term for an artifical neurotransmitter, an imitator of the natural one, which could be more or less effective than the natural.

No 1. because cocaine and heroin are procesed drugs meaning i can't go out and pick a flower and get high off it. Marijuana there is really no processing after it has been picked exept for drying and sorting. 2. you don't get physically adicted to marijuana like you do with other drugs. A mental addiction maybe if you have the self will of a stuffed animal 3. when i run out of money and pot i don't have to go suck someones dick for the money 4. pot smokers are the ideal roll model for children who don't like to share pot smokers are know to share their bongs, pipe, and weed. i know that shooters like to share needles but they also like to share HIV.

No; marijuana is neither as addictive or as harmful as heroin and cocaine. I know people who take all three, and those on cocaine and heroin are many, many times worse off than those on marijuana. Infact I find the people who smoke marijuana to be quite pleasant to talk to : P 'They' at least, are relatively calm all the time... lol

No, Marijuana is norml.... and natural so is hash www.norml.org Opium is natural but processed.... Not to too great a degree... but still it must be processed. acid and meth are manufactured poison. Cocaine, and heroin are derived from natural sources but are greatly chemically altered to become a drug.
