This logic doesn't work. Pedophilia? Incest? Cutting your genitals off? Don't judge or knock it til you try it is silly to say. You do not need to try it to know about it, just as you don't know what it makes you feel or think personally does not mean you can not and do not pick it up from those you endure spending time with when they abuse it. You often pick up things they don't notice.

you say endure as if it sucks to hang out with stoned people. Some of us are rather smart and can be quite productive while high

It's one drug, not drugs. One that is basically harmless. It's the own person's fault if they let their life go down the shithole. There's plenty of productive members of society who smoke weed. The main point of this post is to get people to stop being so rude to the potheads. Most of us are quite intelligent and hate being lumped in with the idiotic people who do it just to be cool, or try to be the stereotype.

Sorry for your crappy situation, and Im not saying you should do it-thats a personal choice. I am just saying its not that hard to do your fucking homework/ be productive if you have smoked weed. Its not like if you smoke it once you automatically dont give a fuck about anything. There were these genius kids at my school that got high before exams and them aced them

Well actually, after I posted this I asked my mom a few questions about weed. She implied it was genetics-- that some people can handle it, and that some can't, and my sister and dad are just the ones who didn't have the ability to keep it under control. Is that true/what you mean?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah pretty much, some people have addictive personalities/are genetically predisposed to addiction-->such people should indeed be careful with the substances they consume. It also may have to do with upbringing (not saying anything bad about yours) Getting busted with marijuana is more likely to screw someone over than actually smoking it: ex) Someone gets charged and depending on the severity of the charge they could end up in jail or simply pay a fine/do a bit of community service-either way it will end up on your record and then people dont wanna hire you (even though you may be a good worker/smart person) cant get a good job and then your life sucks....that is why it should not be illegal, because the adverse affects of prohibition are worse. But yeah what you said is true, some people can handle it better than others. So the plant itself can not be blamed for all misfortune, because it affects everyone differently.

"weed isn't that bad" IT'S STILL A DRUG. Everyone thinks you can do it and NOTHING will happen, yet it is not only illegal, it can be a "gateway drug" to other, more harmful ones. It's made with so much artificial crap that, even though the natural stuff may not harm you that much, the "modern" stuff does. My dad told me about his friend who smoked it and the drug dealer cut it with cocaine. Maybe if it was legal, there wouldn't be such a hype about it. All I'm saying is, I'm not gonna do it, and that's my choice.

You people worry me. On your first smoke of weed, even just a little try, you have a chance of getting psychosis and bipolar. Its not something to played around with, even for the 'amazing high' it gives you. Ive seen one of the loveliest girls turn into a huge mess after her first try. Its terrible to waste a life like that... :<

Your friend is a bad example of marijuana smokers. Let me get this straight, I have never smoked, ever. I'm not into it, but people that do are not all under the same stereotype. So many people in my school, who have great grades, and are productive smoke. They don't turn into a zombie and become a burn out. I doubt your friend became a mess after her first try, that would be highly unlikely. It's terrible that she turned that way, but mariijuana did not make her do that. Maybe it was emotional? She might have felt terrible that she did something that is so frowned upon..but the drug itself did not do that to her.

I don't tell off people who do it because its not my business. I do judge them though. Is it that bad to inertly judge someone because they need to put harmful chemicals into their body to feel good? In my opinion, that's kind of pathetic.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

By your logic, I'd hope you judge those who drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or take any form of pain medication; just because it's legal, does not mean it lacks harmful chemicals. Pain medication, which is common, has things in it too that are harmful if taken but people still take it to make themselves feel good. Sure it's in low doses, but marijuana is not anywhere near as bad as the chemicals in cigarettes and is not addictive as many have come to believe. Ohhhh those pathetic people!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well medicinal purposes are fine. People can function just as well without getting high, but they can't if they're in pain. And yes, I do judge people who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. Besides, alcohol is way worse than marijuana, and from what I hear, it doesn't feel nearly as good.

You know, your body naturally produces cannabanoids that regulate most of its functions. I can have fun and feel good without smoking, but I do enjoy it.

Bottom line is, you shouldnt criticize people unless you really know the person and their quality of character. I dont think you have to smoke weed if you dot want to, but some people think that if you smoke wee donce you are fucked for life. Which is not true, some people try it and just dont like it-but at least they understand how it feels. Some people try it and enjoy it, but it doesnt mean they will do it all the time either-plenty of people only do it occasionally. Then some people smoke regularly but hey as long as they can handle life and do everything they need to do, so be it. Many hard working and successful people smoke weed. You dont know a persons situation/life, then you shouldnt judge them. Maybe they only smoke once in a while. The point of this post is: just because someone smokes weed does not make them shit for human beings. You know whats really bad for humans? HATE.

Illegality doesnt really mean much, there are legal substances that are far more addicting/dangerous than marijuana. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDKarCeC_Ic Some people think more clearly when they are high, I am not saying everybody does. There were these really smart kids at my school, in advanced classes-getting baked before exams, and then acing them. When writing essays I would take a break and smoke a little bit, then come back and revise/proofread them-being high made me read slower, allowing me to catch things I didnt notice before. I got an A on every essay I wrote my first quarter at college.

Did you at all watch the video, it is a notable JUDGE in California basically saying that it would be better if marijuana was regulated and taxed. The premises on which marijuana was made illegal in the 1930's is a load of bullshit, its mostly about money. Hemp is a superior fiber and can be used for paper/clothing/etc. about anything. It was a threat to paper companies so they strived to make it illegal, like pharmaceutical companies are threatened by it now-as it can do what about 80 different medications can do now with no negative side affects. Just because it is the law doesnt mean its always right, and you dont have to smoke marijuana to think that its prohibition is wrong.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No I did not watch that video because you are missing the point. The law stands, it's there for a reason. You have bad judgement if you are willingly breaking the law AS IT STANDS. If the law changes, there won't be a problem. But if you are willingly breaking the law how could I possibly think you have good judgement?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

@765968 (Tater): YOU are missing the point. If its "wrong" then come up with another reason than it's the law. Have you ever heard of those "silly" laws?; all those strange laws that are really unnecessary. By your logic, then we should all be following those to. I understand your point, it's the law, we should follow the law. I get it. But I feel like that's your only valid arguement against it.. The main problem I have with what you're saying is that you are supporting it as a law, just because it exists, rather than knowing the real reason it was enacted and how unjust that is.

OMG I think you are missing the point, there are COPS that think marijuana should be regulated and taxed. The viedeo is a conference where people OF THE LAW are testifying for marijuana legalization. I understand the consequences if I get caught in my state with whatever amounts, I am not stupid about it. I am saying that just because its the law doesnt mean it is right, marijuana is safer and less addicting than alcohol. If it was the law that you had to only associate with people of your status (rich, middle class, poor) would you? Marijuana prohibition is a violation of personal freedom, you dont seem have a problem with letting other people control your life

by Anonymous 13 years ago

How can YOU have good judgment when you would blindly follow anything that is the law? You are judging a large group of people including doctors and lawyers for the single fact that they smoke marijuana and its and illegal substance. THAT is poor judgement, you dont know those people and the lives they live.

@765980 (Jaimiee16): yes I'm a stickler for the law. Yea, there are some ridiculous laws (although some were made for a good reason a the time they were made). And I'm not saying marijuana is wrong, I'm saying that until the law changes, I judge people who are breaking the law willfully. Yeah, people in power may want it legalized but has that changed the law yet? When the law changes I won't have as much as a problem.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well just because someone is willfully breaking the law does not mean they have poor judgment, especially when they know a lot more about marijuana/its history other than just the fact that it is illegal in most parts of the US. I say most parts because some parts it is decriminalized and the punishments are not as great. At the time marijuana was made illegal, they used LIES-they said it drove men to go on psychotic rampages and raped women. They also used it to alienate minorities-so it really wasnt made illegal for good reasons at all. In order to have judgment at all you have to know the facts, how can you say someone who sees the truth and that marijuana's illegality is a scam has poor judgment. I just find your argument very weak, the other opposing voters have better arguments than 'its illegal'

by Anonymous 13 years ago

THANK YOU for this post. I hate it when people judge me for smoking. Even some of my "good friends" would talk about me behind my back saying that I'm a "stoner" (add bad connotation) now. Just because we smoke doesn't mean we changed our personality and character. I recently watched a documentary about weed and since then I feel like educating everyone that judges us about the REAL reason why it's illegal and why it's actually very useful for our day to day life (not for just getting high). People really need to stop and do some research about it before they corrupt everyone's mind with false accusations and stupid rumors about weed.

I smoked weed when I was going through my second round of chemo, and personally it made a huge difference for me. And now, cancer-free, I continue to smoke every couple months for the fun of it. It helps with my anxiety attacks, too. As long as you aren't smoking every day, or letting it interfere with your personal or school/work life, then why not? To me, it's similar to alcohol: Instead of drinking responsibly, smoke responsibly. Don't drive high, don't go to school/work high, and make sure you're in a safe environment with people you trust. Simple as that.

Anddd, the close-minded masses come. Willfully breaking a law is not a testament to someone having bad judgement, if you drive do you never roll past stopsigns? Maybe not wear your seatbelt? Its not bad judgement, maybe a lack of respect for such an ill-formed law. That's just my oppinion though, and the reason I break laws when I do.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

There is one main reason weed should not be made legal. There are those who are prone (genetically or otherwise) to getting "messed up" after smoking weed and becoming addicted, and because of this there is a prohibition on marijuana. Not everyone may lead poor lives after smoking weed, but the law must watch out for everyone's greater good over any individual's.

Actually the government couldnt care less about the well being of people, marijuana is illegal because of MONEY. Alcohol is far more damaging and addicting than marijuana-but they can tax it.

Wow, reading all of these comments has just made it easier for me to see how ignorant some of the people who don't smoke weed are. They are making the rest of the people who don't smoke weed look bad. We aren't all ignorant. I don't smoke weed, and I never will. It's just not something that I want to do. I don't believe it's good for you, but I'm not a doctor or a professional, so honestly, it doesn't matter at all what I think. It's just my opinion. I don't understand how some people can be so ignorant just because they have seen ONE PERSON that has let the drug "take-over" their life! That is just one person. You shouldn't be stupid or naive enough to believe that all people who smoke will end up screw ups. As so many people have said, it's all about the mentality. As long as weed is NOT the most important thing in their life, and they use it responsibly, then I don't have a problem with it. As long as they don't push me to smoke it, I won't push them to quit. To each his own.

You are so awesome, the voice of reason-and thats ALL we are asking for. You know, weed smokers and non smokers can coexist in peace. I have friends that dont smoke, and its all good. Some of them dont mind hanging out while we smoke either. It is a personal decision to try marijuana and thats on the individual and nobodys business. Some people have even tried it and just didnt enjoy it, so they dont smoke it-people seem to think that if you try it once you are automatically addicted for life.Thank you, having support from a sensible non-smoker might get through to these knuckleheads.

Thanks. Also, anyone on here that says EVERYBODY who smokes weed is an idiot and a screw up, should just go through all the comments and read what you have to say. Just by reading your comments, versus some people's very ignorant comments makes it very clear that you are probably much more intelligent than some of these people. Furthermore, you are completely correct to say that weed smokers and non-smokers can co-exist in peace. So long as nobody pushes their views on the other, we can all live happily ever after, together! If you judge the entire population of weed smokers based on one screwed up individual, it's just like people judging you for something just one person did. For example, if you were a police officer and one police officer committed murder, it would be like people saying that you and ALL other police officers are murderers. You don't have to be best friends with a weed smoker, but it wouldn't hurt any of us to have some respect!

yep yep yep. It seems like people are not even reading/listening to what we have to say, they like disregard everything because we smoke pot. I posted a video of a judge saying that marijuana should be legalized and reasons why-this girl didnt even watch it-and her only argument was that it was illegal and anyone that willfully breaks the law has poor judgment-and Im like this IS a person of the law speaking! Also it is funny because in the normal non internet world where people actually know us-we are not like going around telling everybody that we smoke weed, at least us wise ones. thats why they dont realize how many hard working/smart people smoke like docs and lawyers and stuff-they arent telling people that dont need to know because its none of their business.

Exactly! It seems like half of these people have a non-changing stereotype of people who smoke weed stuck in their heads. They must believe that all people who smoke weed have the whole long-hair, just-don't-give-a-damn, unproductive member of society, hippie thing going on. They just seem unable to wrap their heads around the fact that people don't usually go around flaunting the fact that they smoke it. Without knowing it, they probably associate with many people on a daily basis who have either tried it once, or use it regularly.
