In reality, most people can easily manage caffeine intake. You have to really, really push it to overdose. But that's the point, cannabis is significantly safer than caffeine. Of course smoking cannabis can bother your lungs, but it's medically accepted now cannabis smoke doesn't do nearly the harm tobacco does (easily quantified by lack of cases of cancer due to cannabis smoke). If you remove smoking from the occasion, and look at cannabis buds the same way you do coffee beans, anybody would agree smoking coffee beans wouldn't be good either.
However, the consequences of over-doing caffeine intake are far more dramatic than cannabis. The nerve damage can ruin your life.
But even the smoke appears to be a pretty moderate irritant more so than a likely health risk. But, much like coffee beans to coffee, you can enjoy marijuana in ways other than smoking. If you remove smoke from the equation, how much damage do the chemicals in marijuana cause on their own? It looks like the health risk is exceedingly low. Lower than many substances and chemicals that are legal. I don't get the rationale of keeping it illegal.
While it should be legal, you should not be minimizing the health risks associated with long term pot usage. Be honest about those risks up front. You don't need to pimp pot to legalize it. Legalization is a matter of personal freedom, not an endorsement of a potentially harmful drug.

Is water wet? Yes. Caffeine is without a doubt a 'harder drug' than cannabis.
Well then pulling up current data that shows marijuana to be harmful should be easy to find. I can give you plenty of data on caffeine overdoses and long term effects.

Yes and you can also die from over dosing on water too. Crap you are slow.

I said caffeine is worse for you, not coffee. But I'm glad you said coffee. Because it helps to illustrate how, just like cannabis, even though separate components of the plant may be bad for you, when taken as a whole things can be different.
Marijuana smoke has carcinogens in it, yet there is no link to cancer. Coffee has caffeine in it, which has known health risks. But, coffee as a whole has some benefits that can outweigh those health risks as well as some compounds that can be beneficial on their own.
In reality, PCGeek has made the argument against prohibition, indirectly, because the point he tried to make about coffee and water actually works for cannabis too.
Coffee 'can' be good for you. Just like cannabis 'can' be good for you.
Is that clear?
I'm not slow, btw, everything I have said is true and factual. Articles that say coffee can be good for you do not negate the fact that it is more addictive than marijuana, and the harms from abuse are much worse than marijuana. Don't you agree?
No actually I do not agree. I have never seen anyone become a lump of worthless flesh from drinking too much coffee. MJ on the other hand ...

Remember that God will only reward you if you work hard to make something of your life. Keep that nose to the grindstone. Any pleasures taken without sacrificing your life and health to achieve them, are pleasures of the devil. MJ is a devil's drug. You might accidentally feel happy and that can't be tolerated. Reward comes in the next life. This one is a test of misery. Happy here, fucked in the next.
