show me one successful man who did marijuana on a daily basis. it causes extreme laziness and addiction. i would bet hard money both of you arent in/going to college and are lazy douchebags that will someday be living off of my taxes. stop doin drugs and do something with lives.

You are just in denial that responsible users out there exist. Not everyone that smokes marijuana is lazy, I know many people who become more productive. Also you can barely get addicted to marijuana, I know people who have smoked it regularly and randomly just quit cus they felt like it. It is the INDIVIDUAL that is lazy. OH and FUCK YOU, I am in college. I am going to school to become a massage therapist (which is licensed under the medical board in my state).I am doing something very meaningful with my life, I have the ability to heal people with my hands. Not to mention IM ON THE FUCKING DEANS LIST, my first quarter my gpa was 3.7 and since i have not gone under 3.0

You wouldnt know about a successful individual that regularly smokes weed because they usually dont go telling everyone that. There are high class women in NYC that would rather go home and smoke a doob at the end of the day than go out for a martini. If you know what prop 19 is ( bill that would regulate and tax marijuana to persons 21+ in the state of california) the regulation of marijuana will make it harder for young teens to get ahold of it. As I said the adverse affects of prohibition ruins lives, a kid can be doing just fine with his life-then he gets busted with a little bit of weed and he is fucked because its on his record, cant get a job...it creates a negative cycle. Alcohol legitimately fucks people up, it is truly addictive and it can KILL you. Alcohol makes people violent/out of control. A person that smoked some weed the night before could actually wake up in the morning opposed to someone that got drunk and now has a hangover. www.norml.org.

Maybe I overgeneralize, but my only opinion is that nothing good comes of it and in a lot of cases it causes negative effects. I know alcohol is a terrible thing, (i plan to never drink) but 2 wrongs dont make a right. Other than that you make a lot of sense out of juvenile use of it n such.

okay, Im sorry I just hate it when someone makes a direct statement towards me saying that im a useless lowlife just cus i smoke weed. I know people become that way with marijuana and it sucks cus its not that hard to just do what you need to do. This may correlate with the age at which people started smoking it. I started smoking it later than a lot of people in high school, and I have never had the desire to go to school high (thats just not fun lol) so I still did really well in school. But yeah if it was regulated people probly wouldnt try it till they were older anyway. The basis of this post is that it is wrong to have a substance that is less harmful than alcohol/tobacco illegal and people are being screwed over for using it. it also has legitimate uses like medicinally and industrially.

I feel I should point out the hemp fibers and cellulose can be used to create over 28,000 different things, from paper and clothes, to dynamite and fuel. Cannabis is also the most widely effective medicine, able to treat a much wider variety of conditions/diseases than any other medication. Bar none.

Honestly, I don't know much about weed, but if it was legalized, I still wouldn't do it. Just like alcohol. And that's all I have to say.

Sure, weed may not have many negative effects health wise (other than getting shot by your drugdealer/a cop), but it changes people when they start. A total pothead told me just yesterday to not start weed because it is a HABIT (notice I didn't say addiction) and is a waste of money. He's always lit up and absolutely loves the stuff, but he still implied that people shouldn't do it. Now, if someone like that said something to another person about how they shouldn't do weed, what does that tell you?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That that is his opinion? and obviously he couldn't control his HABIT?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes it's his opinion and he called it a habit, just because he is so used to it. He's not addicted to it because he doesn't have any sideeffects that harm him, the only thing that happens is that he WANTS it, just the same way people have a craving for food. Don't get me wrong, I fucking hate weed, it's just that a potsmoker told me it's a waste of time and money and that he's already fucked from it because it led him to other drugs that are completely hardcore.

I'm pretty sure the leading cause of death is obesity and obesity related illness.

We should legalize it. Just so all the pot smokers will shut the fuck up already.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i personally hope it never does get legalized in canada because i've seen the way it affects a lot of people i know and it just disgusts me. my one best friend is amazing when she was not smoking weed but as soon as she started she changed into this entirely different person and its scary.

I'm really tired of people trying to convince me that weed is good for you and it should be legal and shit. They didn't ban it from the medical patients who actually need it (at least where I live) they banned it from all of you annoying ass pot heads. All of you say "Weed makes you more relaxed, you make better decisions." I have never seen one pot smoker in my life who is responsible, not lazy, and gets good grades. I don't enjoy spending my time around people who smell like shit that laugh at everything and anything. Also, it is an addiction, you just wont admit it. You say it's a "habit" at most, and then when someone asks you why don't you quit, you use the only excuse you guys ever use "It relaxes me." So fuck weed smokers, shut up about pot getting legalized and focus on escaping from what will be the shit hole that is your life. Pot isn't gonna get legalized. Get your whiney, lazy asses up and do your fucking homework, WELL.

No good comes from any drug. Period. That's why marijuana is illegal, alcohol is heavily taxed and my countries aim is to illegalise tabacco smoking in 50 or so years. Because none of these things are benificial what so ever. In any way shape or form
