How Do You Feel About Weed And Why?

Question

Marijuana, Cannibus, Reefer, Ganja. LOL

Answer 1

For years it helped me focus and relax. Can't do it anymore cuz I am a parent, but wish I could. I did very complex work "on pot" with no mistakes or complaints from my bosses.

It gets a bad wrap. No one ever got stoned and beat their wife or killed anyone. People are just brainwashed. I have known some very successful people who smoked and did not hurt anyone, but had some good laughs and creative conversations.

contrary to popular opinion, it actually HELPED me get things done

Answer 2

Actually, weed has no real Rx benefits. There are other pharmaceuticals that are better at treating nausea, menstrual cramps, and nausea that do not get you hi. As for should it be legal, yea. But remember this; any drug that has been made legal, ends up being a bigger problem. Look at the problems with drunk driving and the cost we all pay for health care, because a tobacco user has the 'right' to use it.

Answer 3

If you mean cannabis weed or marijuana, I don't like it.

When I was young I smoked heaps of it and wasted my education and many years of my life. I gave up after the buzz just made me feel tired, worthless and paranoid and I started to cough blood.

A lot of people say marijuana is harmless, and in doing so compare it to other drugs but it is not without dangers, for young people especially.
Marijuana use inhibits learning and a sense of the future in heavy use leads to depression and in some cases paranoid psychosis and schizophrenia.
As for a comparison to cigarettes smoking pot is worse for your lungs than tobacco, the only difference is more people smoke tobacco more often.

You will hear people spout that it is less harmless than tobacco, but their information comes from their friends who also smoke pot.

Answer 4

Weed sucks the life out of you. Sure you laugh and eat fritos, but it is junk. It fries the mind, afterall you don't need a brain to smoke it. just a few bucks. Why do I feel this way? I have had friends who smoked weed, notice I said HAD, and they stil do, none being successfull in any way, at being fathers, friends, even on the job. Their whole life revolves around it. I mean c-mon, its a weed.

Answer 5

It is no worse than alcohol and at least when people are stoned on weed they don't get all agro and start fights and speed race. They usually just chill and eat everything in sight. I say legalize it and worry about the drugs that are actually bad like cocaine and heroin. And cigarettes come to think of it. How many people die of cancer from pot?

Answer 6

..........................................
The psychoactive drug cannabis, with many nicknames (some pertaining to certain plant breeds and preparations), is produced from parts of the cannabis plant, primarily the cured flowers and gathered trichomes of the female plant, as well as the less psychoactive remains of the plant, and its highly psychoactive resin. The major active chemical compound Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly referred to as THC, has psychoactive and medicinal effects when consumed, usually by smoking or ingestion. Humans have consumed cannabis for thousands of years; in the 20th century there was a rise in the use of cannabis for recreational and religious purposes.

The possession, use, or sale of psychoactive cannabis products became illegal in many parts of the world in the early 20th century. Since then, while some countries have intensified the enforcement of cannabis prohibition, others have reduced the priority of enforcement to the point of de facto legality. The supplying of cannabis remains illegal almost everywhere in the world through the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the 1988 United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, while simple possession of small quantities is tolerated in a few countries.

Answer 7

my general answer,
I do not think that it will ever be legal in the USA,if a
anything the politics are moving in the oposite direction and a fascist attitude against minority groups is growing

ATITUDES IN OTHER COUNTRIES
mild in Canada.used to be legal in Alaska.in Autralia you can have a few plants in the garden,In South Africa an ounce in your pocket is accepted .In Holland it is sold openly in koffie Bars and the police will direct tourist to safe places to buy.}in England a few years ago it was decrimenalised.
In Marroco it is the culture and all the old men smoke it in the caffees..as in many Arab countries
In Asia in some countries it is a very old part of their culture.
etc. etc.

MEDICINAL
in many countries marijuana is used in rubbung alcohol mostly by old people to relieve body pains especially the limbs.
it is also used for Asthma and nervous disorders
AMERICA
the USA the attitude is dogmatic for other reasons than the narcotic effects of the drug.
before 1920 marijuana was extensively grown by the USA and Mexico for the production of fibre.which made a durable material,cheap and it does not scorch,that was used for all the jeans,ropes,sails for the sailing ships and millions of jute bags that were used by millions of farmers,representing a multimillion dollars business.

after 1920 with the coming of synthetic materials,which were products of the petrolium business ,which were owned by the families or associates of most of the presidents,

this competitive comodity could not be allowed to continue to exist,
and the war on Mariujana was on.

the drug factor although it has been proven beyond doubt by countless tests that it was a relative harmless substance compared to sigarettes,alcohol and others,was blatently ignored and relentlessly the war continued to this day.
although it does worry the church, since people tended to stay up all night and question religious and philosohical beliefs.some times coming to uncomplementary conclusions of what was socially accepted.

alcohol puts people to sleep and they dont question the given standards.


MARIJUANA FIBRE
today Mariujana fibre is making a come back in Europe and Africa and produce designer pantalons and shirts for very high prices because the quality is superior than linnen.

these fibre plants do not produce drugs to speak of and are worthless for the drug market .it is the fibre that is the value.

and organically speaking it is an exelent plant to recuporate tired soils ,after cattle and corn field have practically destroyed the land,because the plant is deep rooted grows on most altitudes,and breaks open or loosens compacted soils as well as secreting nitrogen.

.the stalks can also be converted in to building material such as blocks

P.S the war against Marijuana ,has traditionally been used in Europe,Africa ,USA and Mexico,as an excuse for the Governments to invade peoples privacy,place soldiers and police strategically throughout the countries for control and observation,and to employ more security forces.
American Soldiers are in Mexico today suposedly for Marijuana but the real reasons are more sinister
It also creates the right climate for coruption and abuse of power(which was the norm rather than the exception in South Africa ,during the days of Aparheid ,when it was simple to place a bag of marijuana in some bodies house,who was unpopular with the authorities, in order to arrest or shoot them.)
Note:
i grew up in a drug culture and there was lots of weed around many of my friends still smoke and i am now 62.
for health reasons i dont smoke much any more .
in the early days these transitional drugs were necesary,for great changes in the general mentality,
today in many places,this mentality is here , and in reality the drugs have become obselete .

we wasted a lot of time messing around when we should have been thinking of our future,but at the time the cultural revolution was more important ,but not any more

we have reached what could be reached ,many druggies from the sixties are in leading positions today ,and a lot of changes are in place,(although some countries seem to be going backwards i think, but drugs are not the solution in this case)

my advice to anybody young now is leave the drugs ,alcohol,sigarettes alone ,dont be misled by peer pressure and concentrate on securing a good future.

when you are established and stable ,then is the time to play around with whatever you please ,at least in a democratic concept,

but dont do it when you are young because then you cannot afford to loose the time,and many people of today will look down on you as being a looser

Answer 8

Answer 9

All weeds are best pulled and thrown in the compost pile or fire. That's how I feel about weed... hahaha. Why mess with your head? You only got one, if you lose self control, you're at other's discretion. You have only to blame yourself.

Answer 10

Its a plant...never heard of someone flipping out on weed and going on a insane spree. tobacco, caffeine, alcohol, sugar are all legal. other than that side effect suck and it isnt healthy for your lungs.
