Why Do So Many People Keep Trying to Push to Make Marijuana Legal?

Question by JMR: Why do so many people keep trying to push to make marijuana legal?
It’s a psychedelic drug that makes people do crazy things when high enough on it, basically. That should be good enough reason for it to be illegal. If everybody smoked it, we’d be one screwed up society. Why do people think employers drug test? Because people on marijuana can do the *exact* same tasks with accuracy as the people who aren’t high? I don’t think so. They do drug testing because people high on marijuana act crazy, sometimes become violent, paranoid, and generally are a big mess to deal with. It screws up their life by giving them a criminal record due to poor actions, getting arrested, commiting crimes, etc. A common misconception is that it’s “natural and comes from the earth, and can’t be bad for you.” I read this cop-out many times a day on Yahoo Answers. It’s a fact that ANY smoke that goes in the lungs is bad for the lungs and can over time cause lung cancer due to prolonged exposure. Cancer kills. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

I Finally Took Charge of My Life and Started Birth Control. How Do I Tell My Parents?

Question by Kitty B: I finally took charge of my life and started birth control. How do I tell my parents?
I’ve suffered from really bad cramps and nausea from my period since high school- to the point where I’d be taken out of the school in a wheelchair during an ‘episode’. I’ve been taking advil for years, but their effectiveness has lowered- so much that I take 2 every 4 hours and still suffer from moderate cramping on them. I’ve heard that birth controls can reduce these symptoms, so I won’t miss college classes or crew practice anymore.(During our spring training, I actually got kicked out of the boat for the week because I had one of my ‘episodes’ in the boat). I went to my physician and secretly got a prescription, but it’ll show up on my insurance bill- that my parents pay. I can’t afford the pills without insurance. I’ve tried discussing it before with my mother, but she got upset and ended up yelling at me that I “didn’t need drugs to solve all my problems” and stormed off. How do I tell her?
