Cubing High on Marijuana

[Hyprul 9-ty2]

Well aren't you Mr. Primp-and-proper.

Darn Edward, posting just before me. Darrnnnn

Marijuana wouldn't improve anything if it were to be legal.

Legalization of marijuana would decrease the number of people incarcerated for victimless 'crimes.' I think that's an improvement.

I'm sorry but can you please provide any source that shows marijuana causes erectile dysfunction to set in earlier than it would naturally? You keep saying this, yet all I've found is that marijuana damages sperm, which is not in any way the same thing.

:fp I'm not transferring my thoughts that well into text .
I'll give you a few reasons why I don't do pot.
1. There are better things to do than sit around all day doing drugs.
2. Marijuana effects your socialization (judging by my friend, who is very hard to talk to and smokes weed everyday.)
3. It's illegal.
4. Not many people thing highly of marijuana. In fact, it seems, you and musslie4brekkies seem to be some of the very few people who do.
5. Lung problems. 'Nuff said.
6. Erectile Dysfunction. I like to wack
Marijuana= for me.

Marijuana wouldn't improve anything if it were to be legal.

1. WOW! There are better things to do than sit around all day cubing. QED.

2. And you think that 1 person is enough of a sample size to accurately speak for EVERYONE IN THE WORLD THAT SMOKES WEED? I'd say I know at least 100 times more people that smoke weed than you, and I don't know a single one who finds it difficult to communicate with others. In fact, in alot of cases weed actually helps people to socialize, as they can relax and talk more freely.

3. JESUS CHRIST, THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT BAD! Do you not see that being illegal is not the thing that makes something bad, it's (supposed to be) being bad that makes something illegal?

4. Ok, how about thinking for yourself for once in your life? In fact, that isn't even true! A surprising amount of people actually have no objection to weed. I'm sure most people think cubing is sad or a waste of time, but does that make that true?

5. OMG, it's like you are purposefully spouting ******** with the sole intent of pissing people off. Please do some research before you try and put together and argument. (hint, it's the tabacco that is mainly responsible for lung disease, not cannabis)

6. Are you a virgin? Almost certainly. Am I a virgin? No. 'Nuff said.

1. who says you have to spend all day doing drugs? Don't plenty of people do things to relax after a hard day of work?
2. your friend is only one person. I'm quite sure that plenty of people socialize just fine. I mean... look at you. You like rubik's cubes and seem to socialize fine with some people.
3. Not everywhere? Are you ok with people smoking weed in places where it's allowed?
4. I think the majority of people in this thread actually thought highly of marijuana. Plenty of well respected, intelligent, influential people also think highly of it.
5. THC can be absorbed in various ways that protect the lungs if you are really worried about that.
6. Have you tried wacking? Have you tried wacking... ON WEED? (go watch Half Baked. I'm sure you'll recognize the person who a very similar that line in the movie)

Marijuana is a recreational drug, like tobacco or alcohol, and it does less damage both socially and physically than either of the latter drugs.

I'm inclined to disagree with the second point. Smoking is very often taken up under the forces of peer-pressure (don't even bother asking me to find evidence for this). I can only see this as aiding social-status. The only justification I can find for drinking, and yet another reason for me to despise alcohol, is for the benefits it brings to social situations.

Therefore, I see no reason why either smoking or drinking do more "damage" than marijuana to social-status (or whatever you meant by "socially"). In fact, the use of marijuana is probably more likely to lead people to shy away from associating with those that do not also use it. Instead they will be lead to a minority social group that either openly or secretly use marijuana. Thus their social-ability will be reduced to a smaller group.
At the very least this is speculation. I could probably find evidence to back it up but I haven't the energy.

I'll ignore the physical part, because I actually agree that smoking and alcohol are far worse for the body than marijuana.

Woah woah there. I also know someone who smokes who has some problems communicating with people. He smokes not that often, but he still has a lot of trouble communicating his feelings, and sometimes conversations with him can be really frustrating. O, did I mention he's always been this way due to mild autism?

 

[rowehessler]

I do drugs every day and I have found they help me when I cube, ALOT.

youre cool

Remind me again, iasimp1997, why you are against Marijuana?

Why are you supporting it?
Just because it does "less damage both socially and physically" doesn't mean it's okay to do it.
It's illegal. 'Nuff said.

:fp Really? It's substance abuse.

Ok, but why are you against that? (Only in this specific case.. I mean weed and nothing else)

It's illegal. I'm against unlawful things.

Let me just clarify something for you. People are willing to respect your opinions, if you have ANY logical reason behind it, other than "mommy and daddy said drugs make your brain mushy!!!!" You say your against unlawful things, but laws aren't as straight forward as don't kill people. If you want to express your views, think about what they are, and if their is reason they are that way before jumping in.

Look at his sig. He's one of the ignorant kinds.

Hmm, it seems that you are deviating quite along way from your original standpoint, but that's ok.

Why are you against unlawful things? I understand that you yourself might not want to smoke weed, for fear of getting into trouble, but why do you care about others smoking it? What about people smoking it in places where it's legal, what's wrong with that?

If you in fact have nothing against weed itself, but only the fact that it's illegal, then perhaps you should help the campaign for the legalisation of it? That way there would be alot less people committing crimes, which is the bit that you disagree with.

Not trying to jump into this just giving a little something to the discussion. Feel free to respond if needed.

1. This can be said with just about anything, including cubing.
2. This can be said about alot of hobbies, including cubing.
3. Got meh there
4.Not many people think highly of cubing for more than 5 to 10 minutes :3
5. Umm, what about smoking cigarettes and such?
6. TMI dude.

You do pot too? Jesus Christ! How many people here do not do it?

 

[Jude]

Just because he can make rational arguments, it does not mean he smokes pot. He could do for all I know, but it's also possible that he doesn't smoke pot but sees that you're argument is so flawed and incorrect in so many ways that he just had to stand in and say something.

Now, instead of changing the subject, how about trying to continue the debate?

Now that all of your points have been proven incorrect, what other reasons do you have against cannabis?

 

[RyanO]

It's a pretty common thing. Now I hope you see why it's pretty silly to assert that everyone that does it is some sort of retard. I'm sure I thought like you did at some point, so I don't fault you too much.I suppose you've got to learn how the world works somehow.

 

[iasimp1997]

Why smoke pot? Go smoke smarties or something (not that I do. ) else that doesn't harm you.

Dammit. Lol. That time I was trying to be stupid. :3

But seriously though. You have to consider that stuff.

 

[qqwref]

Nobody seriously claims/believes that marijuana has no downsides. But the problems associated with the drug are far, far less than with alcohol or tobacco, and since both of those drugs are legal it follows that pot ought to be as well.

(For the record, I don't use pot, but I'm not against its use.)

Excerpt from a year old school essay.

Huh? Are you claiming you wrote all that? So why does searching google for the exact 1st sentence return 80 results?

Also, someone could write a very similar article about alot of things. Chocolate, for example, is incredibly unhealthy if you eat too much of it. Sure, if you smoke a ridiculous amount of pot, it will be unhealthy.

It's still not as bad for health problems as alcohol or tobacco (a point which you continually manage to completely ignore), or probably a whole host of everyday substances that I don't know about.

So you are saying you are opposed to weed because it's bad for you in large amounts? So why aren't you opposed to fast food? Or using the computer?

Do you really not see how narrow-minded and ignorant you are being? Please answer everything in this post directly, because I don't think you can (without realising you are wrong).
