I have met some friends from the States and most of them men and women, old or young like to get "chronic"? They do use that on the wedding bachelor party, holidays and week end habits. My bf uses it every night and his friends/room mates. I hate this kind of filthy habit and I broke up with him just couple of hours ago (Thanksgiving day) for he cannot compromised with my personal standards. The bottom line is don't those potheads realize that it can fvck their brains up? I am not surprised too why one of my friend's young kid is retarded maybe because his parents get high almost every single night even before the kid was born. What's is your comment about them? Why it is so popular particularly among Americans? Do you also smoke grass? Are the cops in the US not very keen about it? Or is it allowed just for personal use?

Hi, Arianne. Your question has been on my mind for years because l also notice that a lot of Americans are hooked on drugs (be of any kind). l am not racist, just stating a fact based on the numerous readings l've done. l also watch mostly US tv shows and movies and i cant help but notice that substance abuse "look normal" and something each and everyone has to go through. lt's a major problem that has been there for a long time and is still there....for how long?
l dont want to go on blaming people. ln my opinion, they have to be more spiritual. Too many think they dont need God since they can go on with their life doing what they want to do. Too much freedom is not good.

I suppose this is a matter of opinion! Why do people drink?? Why do people take anti-depressants? There are lots of reasons for lots of things but the one thing I do know, is that if I was your friend? I would not be your friend! If you believe that a child was born with a mental disability because of this you are sadly mistaken! There is no proof! And If you want to get into a debate about the use of alcohol as apposed to marijuana I would gladly oblige. Get your facts straight before you decide you want to have a question answered! I don't smoke marijuana but I would if it would make people like you be quiet!
Oh, and don't believe for one second that your boyfriend didn't see you coming a mile away!
Remember, that more people die from the consumption of alcohol each year than by the use of marijuana alone. Now, I am talking consumption, not the act of transportation. That is an entirely different issue all together!
Okay, enough said, have a wonderful weekend!
P.S. I forgot one thing! I tell you, those marijuana drivers are so violent it is a bit scary!?! Hmm, can't say that I've ever heard this one before! Most true smokers are calm, happy, relaxed, hungry and last but not least, asleep! I gaurentee that half the people you know probably do the stuff and you wouldn't know it. That encludes your teachers, lawyers, doctors, law enforcement officers, Judges. America enjoys our freedom! We want to believe that we can make the choice weather we do it or anything else. But, as an America I choose not too, but, being told I can't by someone makes me mad!

It is a political issue.
Very sad too as many are now incarcerated for possessing marijuana, small amounts. to big.
It has been documented Marijuana is the most benign mood changer of any, all those mentioned in the previous answer have been documented to cause much more health problems, psychological problems, accidents, domestic problems----and the list goes on.
Alcohol although legal is a very evil drug having caused the destruction of so many and their families.
If you don't like your boyfriend smoking it you did the right thing for you. That's it!

I'm an American and i don't smoke that stuff but my brother does everyone knows that is a gateway drug I've tried the puff-n-pass with weed before but that was 10yrs ago and i am strong enough to not to try to get hooked on the stuff but others aren't so lucky the same as alcoholism some people just like to stay high i guess its like an escape for them so they can't really deal with their issues they have.

Its not such a big deal as you make to be. As for fckng up the brain that's not 100 accurate, it only affects your brain temporary the same goes with memory. But better that than a junkie or an alcoholic

It is not pot that makes people act stupid, It is stupid people that act stupid regardless of them smoking pot. You should not assume anything. There is not one medical case in the history of pot use that has made anyone retarded, coke, crack, heroin, pharmaceuticals and alcohol are the things that cause that to happen.

it's very political, no comment.
Some people just don't know where to turn to cope or don't know how...
