What are your thoughts on Marijuana?

Marijuana has always been a very controversial topic due to it being illegal and such other facts. Why does it have to be such a controversial thing? I myself am a marijuana enthusiast and I'm behind marijuana 100%. The way I see it, tobacco kills so many people every year, so why aren't cigarettes illegal? I find that the media has twisted the story of marijuana to strike fear in peoples minds about it. They're just trying to boycott this harmless plant from the world while they should be concentrating on the more dangerous conflicts out there like products such as alcohol and tobacco. I think that marijuana shouldn't even be classified as a drug, but as a sort of recreational substance like alcohol. How many people have ever died from smoking marijuana? NONE! So why do people make it out as such a bad thing. The only thing it really impacts is your lungs because your inhaling smoke. That's what smoke does not marijuana. People are just so blind to the actual facts that it kind of pisses me off. Most people if you see some smoking a cigarette in public walking around amongst you and your kids you don't say or think anything of it. As soon as you smell the marijuana it becomes a problem, BS! I've been to every marijuana march in Toronto and have talked to people that are into this kind of lifestyle and they are just like you and me and sometimes even more intelligent and athletic. So I say forget what the media told you and try marijuana haha. What do you guys think?
