Why do people who don't smoke marijuana have such a problem with those who do...!
Question:
Why do people who don't smoke marijuana have such a problem with those who do...?
even when they're just asking a question about their health? Like ways to smoke that are healthier and what some effects are of tin foil etc; and they're looking for a credible source.
Seriously, everything I've read here theres been pretty much at least 4 people saying 'NO DRUGS ARE BAD DONT DO IT' and they throw in some random health problems like lock jaw or cancer, when their is no common link to either.

Lots of good answers, but I was kind of hoping for one of the anti-weed people to answer.
Some good information in here though.
Answers:
They think, because it is kept illegal, it must be horrible, like crack cocaine or heroin. Of course, they have no idea that it was bumped from Class B to Class C (the lowest class) in 2004. (Heroine, Cocaine, Morphine and Oxycodone are examples of Class A drugs).
A couple of the typical ignorant comments about Marijuana:
Example 1: "Marijuana is a gateway drug, leading to harder drugs." That, of course, is patently false. In Alaska, it's legal to grow your own marijuana, but they do not have a higher rate of heroin addicts or crackheads. Besides, the first drug most people try is alcohol. If there's a gateway drug, it's booze.
Example 2: "Marijuana is dangerous! It will make you become a criminal and do terrible things!" Once again, a complete lie, and once again, alcohol remains the #1 culprit as a drug which leads to violence or death, of yourself or others (anyone ever seen a "Mothers Against Stoned Driving" campaign?) Laboratory studies provide no evidence that marijuana produces effects which can be interpreted as criminogenic.
