Marijuana - good or bad?

[blade740]

Obviously you need to take precautions when using psychedelic drugs. Have a sober friend around to keep you from doing anything dumb.

Of course stupid people do stupid things while under the influence of drugs. But stupid people will do stupid things regardless, and using a drug IRRESPONSIBLY is stupid.

I'm not claiming that everyone should use drugs, by any means. Some people don't like it, and some can't handle it. But there's no reason to demonize an activity just because it can be dangerous in the wrong hands. If we did that, we might as well ban a lot of things that could be dangerous to dumb people:
anything pointy, heavy, hot, electric, etc. (I'd note that nearly any object you find in your house is more likely to cause death than marijuana)

Derrick, I hope you realize how many members of this forum and community you are insulting and labeling, all based on ONE harmless activity.
You know what? All people who make stupid videos of people trapped in walls or some crap like that are stupid. My sample size: You.

@Jude: I never said all Pothead are morons, I even told Shelley that, look again pl0x.

99% are though, drugs are stupid in my opinion, and again thats my opinion? wtf I can't have one?

@Ethan: I can't help if they are potheads, oh well that's their decision, in my opinion they are stupid for doing so, i can't help it, it's my morals, my opinions my thoughts, do I ask YOU to change your beliefs?!? nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Also your just using that last part to single me out, to be immature, also on purpose as kind of an "insult" which is pretty sad, i just mentioned my opinions, drugs (alcohol, pot etc) are stupid and turn people into Absolute retards.

 

[Ethan Rosen]

You've been insulting many people throughout the thread, so I really don't see anything wrong with stating my opinion on people who make 30 part videos about people trapped in a wall.

...

Nobody said you can't have an opinion, but if you post an opinion based on false assumptions you can expect that someone will refute those assumptions.

I have no doubt that you think drugs are stupid. That's your opinion and nobody can take it away from you. But the second part of that is your false assumption that they turn people into absolute retards, which I KNOW is false. It's not an opinion, it's a FACT. There are PLENTY of examples of people who smoke marijuana regularly and are NOT absolute retards.

.... I like the person trapped in his wall

Could someone refer me this video. I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

 

[Andreaillest]

I will say this. I have tried alcohol about once or twice(A drug I consider more harmful than marijuauna) and I'll most likely do more of it. Yet, I am no way an retard or have become a retard. I still am perfectly fine.

Uh, it's not an opinion, you're portraying something as fact, which is literally incorrect. The definition of a Moron is "someone who is lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind; dull.". It is FACTUALLY INCORRECT to say that 99% of people who smoke weed 'lack ordinary quickness and keenness of mind'. It's just not true that they are all stupid. You are arguing something that is by definition incorrect, and can be proved to be so.

Nobody said you can't have an opinion, but if you post an opinion based on false assumptions you can expect that someone will refute those assumptions.

This.

marijuana is TOXIC!! it causes your brain to rot and makes you stupid

[*LukeMayn*]

DRUGS R BAD.

Quoted for immortality

But I would like to see what would happen if it was legalized. I honestly think that it wont effect the world.

I just sincerely hope that it wont lead to people doing the next worse illegal drug instead of weed.

 

[BeautifullyDecayed.]

Do you think marijuana is a motivation killer?
Like, when you do it a few times you kinda loose motivation for study/exercise and can't be bothered doing much?
School is pretty important to me so I wouldn't want to throw it away just for a bit of stress-release.

Also, is it a lot more dangerous when you are young? I am only 16, so, I assume by brain isn't fully developed..

And thanks for all your facts/opinions, they are wonderful

 

[anythingtwisty]

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.

I think you need to do a bit of research. LSD is quite safe (physically; it could be very psychologically damaging)

The real danger of LSD comes from not the drug itself, but what it makes you do. Like some people high on LSD think that they can fly and they jump off building.

Another example is that a while ago, a woman ate her daughters lungs while on acid.

You may be confusing acid with PCP, a much more dangerous drug. PCP gives the feeling of invincibility and numbs all pain. There are reports of people cutting body parts off and feeding them to animals while on this drug.

 

[vgbjason]

I just want you guys to think about how much less crime there would be if pot was legal.

For one, a lot of drugs are manufactured in the middle east, by the Taliban. (not necessarily marijuana, though.) By legalizing marijuana, we would be throwing less money into the hands of extremists.

I know that's kind of a roundabout point. many of the points against marijuana use are extremely roundabout as well.

LONG POST WARNING

I find this thread especially interesting because I have been doing a lot of research on drug use lately. I have several friends who smoke marijuana, and their healthy appearances and states of mind contrast what I have always been told by authority figures about this plant. Reading major news articles and taking a visit to California, where personal marijuana possession is legal (by state law, not federal law), have also changed my perspective.
Cannabis(also known as marijuana) is a plant that has a chemical that produces psychoactive effects. This chemical is called THC. The plant has been consumed in various ways for thousands of years. It was legal for personal possession in much of the world until the twentieth century. Cannabis has does have undesirable side effects, most of which come from the method of intake. Smoking it, for example, releases carcinogens into the lungs. However, many people wrongly compare smoking marijuana with smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes containe nicotine, a physically addictive substance, and marijuana is not physically addictive. Studies have also shown that cigarette smokers smoke on a much more regular basis than those who smoke marijuana, leading to a higher rate of cancer. Not one death related to cancer from marijuana use has ever been reported.
Why is marijuana illegal in the United States?, you may ask. The reasons for the current legal status of cannabis is early misinformation supplied to and from the US government. Posters like the one below were spread and believed, while they have no factual basis in reality:

Marijuana is not the only drug that I believe should be legalized, however. I will edit this post later, as I have a lot more to say.

Well, I think the better reason is that the majority of marijuana users will have no reason to know a "drug dealer" (who will most likely, at some point up the supply chain, have some sort of gang/organized crime affiliation). Not only will this take money out of the hands of violent criminals, it will mean that less people will have access to (and possibly pressure to buy/use) harder, more dangerous drugs.

 

[i luv pants]

I think all drugs are terrible: they ruin your body and you just don't need them. I have a friend (we're adults) who used to smoke weed then got out of it. Now he chews a lot of gum instead. There's always alternatives and someone has to be dumb or has a terrible life to take it, and I applaud those who are smart enough to get the help they need to stop there dependency on marijuana or any drug for that matter.

Sorry jude it IS an opinion. I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO SMOKE POT ACT LIKE MORONS AND ITS PATHETIC.

thats my opinion, you dont have to take it as fact at all by any means, but to me its how I see it.

@Ethan: Show me ONE TIME please I insulted someone in this thread. I would LOVE to see it. You know like ACTUALLY insulting someone please i need to be shown this.

Nope sorry, I did not insult ANYONE.
I just stuck with my first opinion throughout the WHOLE thread.
POTHEADS ARE MORONS, that's my opinion, and I back it up through my own experiences. If you still again say that it's wrong to say that, well then I'm gonna start having to ask you to change your beliefs and opinions too pl0x. Did I actually come out and insult someone directly on here?

No I don't think so.
