-Its only harmful to your lungs and you can get around this by using a vaporizer. Do a little research!
I would not go so far to say it's not harmful to your body. We do not know everything about the drug, or our bodies for that matter. Who knows what sort of things it really does to our minds in the long run. There is a big lack of study in the area.

marijuana impairs your driving
-no it doesent but I agree that it's best to drive when you are 100% sober. Do a little research!
It does impair your driving, don't kid yourself. Although it isn't as bad as driving around drunk. I've drove drunk, stoned, and on other things (only god knows how I managed not getting a DUI in my time). As someone that has done these things I can tell you I was not 100% when I was behind the wheel, on pot, whiskey, using a cell phone or otherwise.

marijuana leads to harder drugs
-This is the propaganda artist favorite! Where is the logic here? You think that someone who likes getting high is going to need something stronger? Why would you automatically assume this? Yes some people want to get so messed up that they want to forget their lives but these people have mental problems and that's the cause of their addiction.
This is a spin job, with some truth in it. Allow me to explain:
Smoking pot is not going to turn you into a rock head or seal your fate as an heroin addict. However given the fact that pot is not legal in most places you're are more or less forced to buy it via the black market. Selling pot is not a high profit business by any means, so most people that do sell it also deal in other drugs.
This is why they say it leads to other drugs. Once you're in that environment (buying via the black market) you'll likely be told about other illegal drugs by your smoking buddies and/or dealers. Buying pot is going to put you in a position where you'll see and be able to buy other drugs. Of course it's a personal choice to try other drugs, a choice many people make everyday.
My point? Do whatever you want, but don't belive you're above the law and that it's not harmful.
