now, if you were growing poppy plants, and making opium from it, that doesn't compare. but the point is: opium doesn't make itself.

100% correct! Great post!
My friend tried to compare cocaine to weed saying the ingrediants for weed have been put on this earth from God and cocaine is bad. But I had the same argument...weed is untouched...unmolested. All those other drugs are not.
