Why do we blame the ganja?

Question

in the hindu religion i believe its said that the herb marijuana was given by shiva (???) for a relaxing purpose.

now, everyone or pretty close has come in contact with this VICIOUS PLANT. and sorry but there isnt anyone who has died literally because of the herbal plant. and you cant really get addicted to it, you're a louse if you do ;p

so why do we blame our societies highschools on such a trivial drug?

Answer 1

Ganja was not given by Shiva.

I doubt that God ever comes on earth to give anything to anyone personally.

All herbs are created by Him so yes in a way He gave earth ganja too.

He did it for medical purpose not for making you an addict.

It is irritating that people do not take responsibility of their own actions and blame gods or satan or other humans for that matter.

Answer 2

Are you sure it wasn't Rasta? The plant itself isn't vicious it's the DEA thats vicious. Along w/the bennifets of pain relief and calming effects of the "smoke", the fibers can be used for many things. Did you know Henry Ford had an engine that ran soley on hemp oil? And George Washington ordered the pioneers to grow,grow.grow your weed, hell he grew it himself(and smoked it,did youthink that was tabacco in that pipe?). It was a major cash crop for settlers. The "I was high when I did it" defense should never have been allowed as a defense. the person wanted to commit crime and smoked or whatever b-4 he committed crime so some idiot lawyer said "here's a defense tactic we can try". I'd like a lawyer to try using that defense when someone kills someone in a DWI case."Oh, your Honor he wouldn't have hit the person if he hadn't been drinking, therefore he can't be guilty. HA thats a joke!!!! And kids these days have seen all the stupid ads telling them not to "SMOKE" so they act the way they see the people in the ads acting(STUPID)!!! IF more people(leaders)"smoked" maybe there wouldn't be all this fighting because they'd be too busy enjoying each others company smokin' it up!!!! Toke it up!!!!

Answer 3

Well, it causes its negative effects, if your goal is to succeed the traditional way that society has told us is the "right" way. Then weed will negatively effect your ability to succeed the way they want you to.
Umm, its trivial because it DOES or can lead to other drugs that will really f*ck you up badly. And when this happens people get arrested, and screws up their chance of succeeding in this society.
When kids bring drugs to school, and peer pressure kicks in, the kids who have never been around this stuff, don't know how to deal with it, and end up worse then the others, they think theyre being cool and fitting in, they want to be known as druggies etc. and thats also when things turn ugly.
And dealing, they find it as a good source of quick temporary income, so they start dealing drugs. I did.
And then I got busted. Went through rehabs, all sorts of things, which took years off of my studying. But like I said, the conventional way is not the only way. So, the people out there, who know what theyre getting into, who know what drugs can really do to people, will realize you know, its not just altering your state of mind for fun, theres a price to pay, and theres a way of living and a thought process behind it all.

Answer 4

You can get addicted to it actually. Because it is a real drug. In the same sense, you can get addicted to Advil, or Tylenol.Your not a " louse " if you do, any drug can be addicting if you do it every day for the wrong reasons.
Marijuana can be a very helpful drug to people that need it. It should be decriminalized and made easily available to those who need it.

Answer 5

There has never been a recorded death due to overdose of Marajuana. Out of all the drugs that we can get our hands on, it is by far one of the most harmless.

As with anything that changes the body's response to anything (this includes sugar, chocolate, caffeine, and even fruit juice) it can be psychologically addictive.

I don't see it getting a lot of attention nowadays save when its denied to patients. The cops don't enforce it strongly(though you're still up sh*t creek for growing it), many of them enjoy a spliff on occasion. Frankly, it's less damaging than alcohol.

The evil eye has turned to methamphetamines around here (Washington State), a much more deserving drug as I've seen it destroy many friendships and families if not lives in small towns and in the city.

WHY do people blame Marajuana for their problems? Because they can. Someone having trouble with their family will be in search of an external villain, instead of with themselves or the fact that teenagers are just mental by adults' standards, period.

Answer 6

Follow the money, starting with the marijuana tax act of 1937. The law that first made pot illegal.

Answer 7

Its not entirely dope that makes you dumb,its dumb people that do nothing else but smoke it to excess that give it a bad name.If you start smoking dope at age 10 your not going to pay much attention at school,and remain stupid.
If bright people smoke dope they tend not to let it take over to the exclusion of all else,and so dont get noticed as much.
