Whenever you criticize someone for smoking weed the only thing they seem to comeback with is, "Well, it grows from the ground so it's fine." So does poison ivy, you ass hat, amirite?

A better comeback would be that many hard working and successful people smoke pot, and it truly is not as bad as alcohol.

There are many hard working and successful people who steal from companies, does that make it okay? Hell, there are many hard working and successful people who abuse their wives, does that make it okay? It's still a terrible comeback.

Truly your comeback was horrible, comparing smoking weed to spousal abuse. Smoking weed is better than smoking tabaccoo, alcohol, and a lot of the stress people go through. So the people who are constantly in pain and smoke it medically are horid people because thats the only way they can get through the day?

All I'm trying to say is your reasoning is terrible. You said it's okay to do because hard-working and successful people do it, I'm just saying hard-working and successful people do a lot of bad things. I wasn't trying to argue with why pot is horrible (although I did post why I will never do it below).

I am not the same anon that posted the original comment, but your response just seemed like you were calling people who smoke pot horid people.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I was not trying to imply that. In fact, in my other comment I said "I don't have a problem who smoke weed and keep it to themselves"

Yes I just was reading that, and you make a good point, both you and the other person make good points.

Yeah except poison ivy is actually bad. I DON'T smoke weed, but it's not my life. It's theirs. The ONLY thing wrong with pot is the smoke itself being hard on your lungs. The weed has ZERO negative effects on the body. And since it is illegal, the only way you'd have to deal with the smoke is if you hang out with people who smoke. So maybe, people shouldn't criticize others actions that in no way affect the lives of those criticizing them. Their actions only affect themselves. So leave them alone, and let them live their own life.

"The weed has ZERO negative effects on your body" The long term effects of marijuana are still unknown. Frequently smoking it has been connected with lung cancer, psychotic disorders, strokes, and heart disease. None of these have been proven or disproven, it's up in the air right now. So says it has zero negative effects is wishful thinking because it very well could (remember when nobody realized smoking causes lung cancer?). I don't have a problem who smoke weed and keep it to themselves, but I'd rather not be a guinea pig.

Going back to my statement. The only part of smoking weed that's bad is that the smoke is hard on your lungs. The SMOKE would be the cause of those problems. Weed can be taken in many different ways besides smoking it. Baking it into food, and using a vaporizer are two alternatives to smoking it that yield the same effect of getting high. Two more things. 1.) Just as you said, the effects of smoking that you listed have not been proven or disproven. So either one of us can be wrong.

And 2.) Thank you for that last part. People who smoke weed generally keep it to themselves, so people should just leave them alone.

Its like alcoholism, except its not as harmful on your brain, the official testing they did was fed monkeys straight marijuana smoke for 5 minutes, so unless you can breathe in an alternative to oxygen for 5 minutes and not get brain damage, your gonna get brain damage from that. not the smoke itself

The ads and whatnot saying 'noone dies from weed' and comparing it to alcohol is bullshit. Take the alcohol arguement for example; the numbers they use saying alcohol has caused this many deaths a year is not deaths just because of concumption. It is also using numbers from say, a drunk driver causing a 9 car pile up (yeah that was extreme but you get the point). I personally know multiple people who have been in car accidents because they were high. So if supporters wanna use alcohol related accidents in their arguement they can't disclude weed related accidents.

I'm with skateman, Why criticize them in the first place? I mean it is their life, and weed really isn't that bad. Its no worse for you than cigs are. Its deffinately safer to be high than to be drunk too. But that's just my opinion, and no I don't smoke weed.

Living in Amsterdam and weed is LEGAL! Our drug problems are 30% lower per head of the population. Which means the amount of people has been taken into account. Also I would like to ask what the point would be to be so against pot, I mean its not like its your problem that people smoke it, you just have a prejudice because its against the law, but Im sure if it were legalized that people would suddenly change point of view, and suddenly say "Hey! Pot is ok now, because the government says so!"

The point I'm trying to make is not that weed has a negative impact on your body, well the smoke probably does, but it has a serious impact on your stupidity. Maybe it's not true for adults or long time marijuana users, but we all know that younger kids who smoke pot only do it because it's "cool" and they end up doing things they regret while high. So guys, stop being epic asshats. If you smoke weed and keep it to yourself, how would I even criticize you in the first place? Duh.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Then stop criticizing people who smoke weed. It's really not any of your business.

This is the most ridiculous argument. For starters, weed is SIGNIFICANTLY better for your body than alcohol. I've done extensive research on the topic as it deals with my career (psychologist studying the effects of certain drugs). Also, marijuana became a notorious "bad drug" due to yellow journalism claiming it was a drug that made you murder people. Also it became known as a "bad drug" because it was associated with racism as Mexicans were known to bring weed into the US. I believe most people on this site are young, and frankly if you actually did your research rather than googling "negative effects of marijuana" then maybe you'd realize you're being ignorant. Oh and by the way, I DON'T smoke weed. I just believe that you should always know what you're talking about before you speak irrationally.

I know it's people choice to do or not to do drugs. Smoking weed for medicinal reasons is fine but I think the teens who smoke weed to be cool are stupid. When your high you can do stupid things which will change your life and the lives of people around you. Everyone I know who smokes weed says it's not addictive and they can stop if they want to but I know they are going to have a hell of a time trying to stop when they have to.
