Assignment 3

The article is about people losing more IQ to "infomania" wich is addiction to text messaging, emailing etc, than smoking marijuana. Alot of the everyday common officeworkers suffer from this as they generally sit at a computer most of their workday. Apperantly they are very distracted by constant messages and other forms of electrical communication. Quite interesting.

This guy, javajones, takes up the article in his own blog, but remaining neutral.

He says he in no way "condones" the use of marijuana but stillsays that if infomania is twice as bad as marijuana that gives you a good perspeccitve on justhow harmless the "drug" actually is.

I agree, and if most workers experience infomania a very good way to reduce that COULD be smoking pot. Marijuana generally has a very soothing, almost harmonical effect. If you're up in the clouds, the last thing you'd think about was some text. The effect differs from person to person but still, if its half as harmless, it should be considered as a possible solution for this as those little stressballs the companies buy for their staff don't seem to be working do they?

Wich brings me on to the bigger question wich if of course, should it be legalized? Obviuosly. Marijuana is just as, or even less, harmful than nicotine, and alcohol is alot more dangerous but still these products are endorsed by the law.

It is NOT possible to overdose marijuana and there has not been a single death-case in the history of its use. The only dangers are smoking related ones, just as ones with nicotine. However you can clearly overdose alcohol and it has a much bigger effect on your body.

I think however, that there is hope as articles like this are quite common nowadays and petitions to legalize pop up more frequently worldwide.

Lets hope logic overcomes irrationailty.
