Why shouldn't I smoke pot?

Question

Other than the fact it is illegal and can cause health problems.

Answer 1

smoking is bad, mmmkay.

"while a drunk will run through a stop sign, a stoner will wait for it to turn green."

Answer 2

- If you have an accident, you will have to submit to a blood draw. Even if you have NOT smoked it before an accident, the fact it's in your blood will make you liable. Your insurance rates can skyrocket or you could be cancelled.
- If you want to get a job, you better be clean for over 30 days -- if all they do is a urine test. If the company does a hair test, you have to be clean for at least 6 months.
- It's not cheap to buy pot.
- Booze is a legal product if you want a buzz (but no driving obviously).
- If you are caught with more than a joint, police consider that "intent to sell" and you're looking at a long expensive court battle that could land you in jail for quite some time. Then they could seize your property.

Answer 3

Your money will support some pretty nasty stuff for starters.

There is something very unappealing about a dopey/foolish-looking person. There is something very undignified about the whole thing, especially when a group of people get together and get "all stupid".

My mother had something she would always say to me, "You are lucky enough to have been born with a good, clear, head. Don't do anything to muck it up." If you think about all the people in the world who haven't had the chance to born with a "good head" or else to be born into situations where they can't get the food or other needs meet in order to help their brains develop right, it could make you wonder if there's some kind of "sin" involved when someone with a good, normal, brain mucks it up and runs the risk of causing damage.

Answer 4

the truth is that most of these people have lied
it does kill some brain cells, it makes it harder to get a job, affects short term memory, it is very obvious when you are high, makes you sleepy / lazy, lung disease does occur soon than ciggarettes, almost all side affets are temporary

it does NOT, effect your motor skills enough to make you cause a car crash, impait judgement- you can still make serious decisions wisely and you still know what you are doing but you just think things are better and funnier, give you bad breath- it just smells like a strange mint, physically addictive - just somewhat mentally addictive, and forget all that b.s. about it being a gateway drug - people only move on to other drugs bcuz they ONLY started smoking to get away from their problems which DOESNT work

Answer 5

Its not going to kill you its not even going to make you do harder drugs that's a choice you make. What you need to understand is that does make you feel ok about doing nothing, being continent. I don't know how old you are but at some point in your life taking initiative and working hard are going to be important. Don't let smoking pot take that away from you.

Answer 6

Cause your a dork for asking the question! Why shouldn't you? Ummm because it is definetly not healthy for you. Why would you want to smoke pot does it help you through your life. Most people can get through their life without smoking CRAP! Just don't smoke it because it could kill you. You don't want to die do you?

Answer 7

It can keep you from getting the job you want, it can put you behind bars, it can distort reallity,

it is a crutch that is leaned upon that will not allow one to deal with the problems of life, but makes you keep coming back for more of it to deal with life.
Sudies show a link with developing paranoia and to laziness.

Answer 8

What are the reasons that you should smoke pot?

Answer 9

because you are smart enough to find other ways to a) entertain yourself, or b) deal with your problems. pot smoking is for unimaginative losers

Answer 10

You shouldn't because you could die and it is not good for you.
God says do not show body parts to anyone other than your loved ones or something like that and thta is the same to smoking pot.

Answer 11

isn't that enough reason not to smoke pot. Evidently it's already destroyed most of your brain cells. Do you wear diapers yet because you can't control your urinary tract?
