Answer 2

People smoke weed for different reasons, to forget, to get a high, just because they can. Don't let yourself be pressured into it. It's not really a terrible thing to do like others think, yeah it might ruin some, while with others, think more clearly on a high. If you want, try it and see how you feel. But be careful and stay with real good, close friends. Most people act really strange on their first, some think people are trying to kill them. It's illegal b/c people act strange on it, it can cause medical problems, and it can cause car accidents.

Answer 3

First off,weed is NOT a chemical...you can't go outside and grow a chemical. It's relaxing and relieves stress. If you want to know more about the how's and why's of weed you should read the book "the Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. It's a very eye-opening read. It's actually better for you than most people think. And now they're finding it helps kids who have ADD.

Answer 4

Well apparently I'm too old to give my opinion, but I'm going to give it anyway. I smoke weed for the same reasons I play videogames, go the movies, or sit here answering these questions. And the reason is simple - I enjoy the way it feels. Nothing is being accomplished, but me giving myself some time to chill out and relax.

I don't know why you do it though. I mean I'm not psychic.

Answer 5

I think papyrusrtl has a point. It may not be true of everyone, but I've known smokers and alcoholics who seemed suicidal in every way. They even refuse to wear seatbelts when they drive. They seem to be trying their best to kill themselves, but they don't want to admit it, even to themselves. That's probably why liquor and tobacco ads often have subliminal images of skulls and other death-related images.

Weed doesn't have as many carcinogens as tobacco, so it's not as suicidal as smoking cigarettes, but it has been known to have long-term effects.

Answer 6

They are trying to harm themselves and others.They do not understand the effect it has on other people who truly cares about them and others.

If you think you can ONLY smoke weed once a week you are not thinking right.If you smoke it you will want to smoke it everyday.

It is illegal and it is harmful even though alot of people DO NOT want to believe it.

you are just trying to ruin your life if that is what you want then go for it no one is stopping you.

Answer 10

People who take chemicals (weed, vodka, nicotine, meth, heroin, cocaine) have a death-wish. They are trying to kill their feelings, their brain, their personality, their ideas, their opinions, their questions about life. They have given up on life, and are cowards.
