Myth: Marijuana is not a gateway drug, as the term “gateway drug” is nonsensical.
Fact: The term “gateway drug” is a legitimate term, used by medical advisors to spread more info about the drug to those unaware of its dangers.
Additionally, the environment and users of marijuana are actively attempting to spread misinformation about the drug to soften its impact on unsuspecting teenagers, making it even more of a gateway drug than during its use in the 60’s.
Myth: Marijuana is not only safer than other illegal drugs, but safer and healthier than alcohol and tobacco.
Fact: Not only is it a deadly gateway drug (killing over 95% of its users), but it has permanent negative effects on decision-making, perception, and stamina, making it much more of a threat than tobacco and alcohol combined. To believe otherwise, you would have to believe that it was possible for people who make the laws to be wrong or dishonest.
Myth: Marijuana is an integral part of many religions, and is only illegal to suppress these religions.
Fact: Marijuana, while it is a part of a few minor cults, is condemned as immoral by all legitimate religious authorities. Adherents to religions advocating marijuana use are advised to find healthier alternatives to the drug, or to convert on to a religion that does not advocate such dangerous activities.
Myth: Marijuana is completely non-addictive.
Fact: Marijuana is not only 1000 times more physically addictive than heroin, but the side effects of the drug often lead to a state of poor decision-making, where a second “joint” seems like a good idea to improve the high from the drug. Due to the long-lasting effects of this mental impairment, it can be said that marijuana gets you hooked from the first use.
Safe, FDA Approved Alternatives to Marijuana
Cigarettes: Marijuana is, in fact, based on the everyday cigarette, but with many harmful additives thrown in to increase the “high” that has been clinically proven to lead to infanticide. Cigarettes are 100% less lethal than marijuana for all parties involved.
Alcohol: There are few better methods of passing time blissfully than alcohol. To counteract claims by protesters in favor of marijuana, alcohol is made entirely from fermented plants, and is therefore both all-natural and vastly safer than marijuana.
Tylenol: Although overdoses of Tylenol can be fatal, the pain removal it offers is nearly as effective as marijuana, and it offers no addiction, making this an effective choice for people who claim marijuana has medicinal uses, against all evidence that marijuana will kill you and everyone you know.
Machete in the groin: Although this has multiple negative effects and no positive ones, it is still much safer and healthier than marijuana. Scientific studies show that the edges of the machete can stimulate the groin, resulting in a 50/50 chance of either increased sexual prowess or total sterility.
The strangest part is that it is always the effect that would be most detrimental to the recipient, furthering evidence of Murphy’s Law.
