Marijuana - good or bad?

[04mucklowd]

I've seen people at my school who were nice kids in lower years, smoke green and become awful people.

Cannabis really does ruin you life one way or another

I've seen people with no reason to live, no happiness in their life, then they smoked green and found out what living is.

Cannabis really could save your life if you thought you couldn't live a normal life.

There are many different ways to turn your life around other than cannabis.

That's my point? About anything could also ruin your life.

Marijuana smoke damages DNA and can lead to cancer, but on the other hand, other parts of marijuana can be used to fight against cancer growth.

So what exactly is wrong with using marijuana? Please explain why that isn't a valid option for personal use.

Hmmm... I think this is a grey area.

Some of the nicest people I know, and have ever met smoke weed, and a couple of them are going to college now, and are doing great.

They seem to be doing pretty good in life.

Do they do it regularly?

I know many regular (on average more than once a week) marijuana smokers who are going to schools like Cornell, NYU, Vassar, Princeton, Yale, Hamilton, and many others.

Eh, I'm not a fan of any drug including alcohol and tobacco.
I've had very little experience with weed. I've seen people smoke it and be fine students, tho completely out of their minds at times, and my neighbor last year had to drop out of school because he was addicted to it.
I wouldn't want to do anything that would be me in the metal state that I saw either of these people in.

Why even think about Marijuana (or alcohol, cigarettes, any kind of drugs) when you have a lot of cubes all around you
The taste of a nice floating F2L must be ways better!

And I'll add on top of that that canadians are morons.

You don't mean that at all
Potheads actually ARE morons though seriously you see the way they act? I rest my case =D

People who stereotype are morons.

Well yes, but the fact that it's an herb means that it does not contain any synthetic substance unless it's added to it, so It's already cleaner than any other drug.

So, it's just as clean as arsenic?

Clean in the sense of having no contaminants? Yes. Arsenic is very clean. Do not confuse safe with clean.

The problem with Marijuana, is not that it is a "Gateway drug" as such. It is a "catalyst" drug. Legalising Marijuana will pave the way for slightly harder drugs to be legalised. Next time it will be LSD or a similar that will be being argued about. I would bet a large amount of money that more people die from Alcohol than from LSD so they could use the same argument.

tl;dr: It's the concept, rather than the actual substance.

I do not know of a single person who thinks LSD should be legalized, nor a single person who thinks it is not dangerous. People die all the time from hard drugs, they will have one hell of a hard time legalizing a proven killer.

Correlation does not imply causation.
Why does nobody remember that? What do they teach kids these days anyway?

That article says:
"these results provide evidence for the DNA damaging potential of cannabis [marijuana] smoke, implying that the consumption of cannabis cigarettes may be detrimental to human health with the possibility to initiate cancer development"

It never says they have proven or they have found. Since they are trying to find damaging substances in marijuana, of course they are going to report their findings in a way that makes them look succesful.

To be honest some of the most brilliant people I knew at Penn smoked all the time. I found it to be more common in college, most likely because it is so effective at relieving stress.

Marijuana is not deadly. You simply cannot OD on cannabis.

Not only is it not deadly, but it's far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. Still, here in Norway alcohol and tobacco is perfectly legal, but if the cops catch you with more than five grams of hashish or marijuana, they arrest you and charge you as a drugdealer, the same as if you had 5 grams of heroin on you!

Now that is just wrong!

How many people do you guys know that do violent things and/or get aggressive when they drink alcohol?
Granted i don't know a lot of people that smoke ganja, but those i do know i've never seen aggressive or threatening when high.

As for the argument of pot beeing a gateway drug.... I don't know. It sure doesn't help forcing people into an criminal enviromet to get their goods!
If it was legalized, and you could buy it in your local supermarket, that would not be a problem.

Another thing is all the taxes the government would earn from weeds if it was legalized and sold over the counter. I can't for the life of me understand why it is still viewed upon as a dangerous drug, just like heroin is.

I have strong opinions, and more arguments on this subject, but i think i'll stop here

Oh btw, contrary to your suspicions after reading this post; i do not smoke weed, but i do want to be able to choose to do so, without beeing a criminal according to norwegian law!

SWIM does Marijuana for recreation reasons, but doesn't regularly do it. SWIM enjoys the taste but agrees that there are gray areas about health reasons.
