Why are people so damn judgemental about smoking weed?

Question

ok, first off i smoke weed, i smoke alot of weed and i dont want to hear "quit smoking pot", or "your poisining yourself" i couldnt care less about your opinion of me or what i do, i just want to know why alot of people buy into the hype that marijuana is bad for you or that it kills braincells or whatever evil you think marijuana is responsible for, i have a job and go to work absolutly blowed, it doesnt stop me from being productive and it for damn sure hasnt ruined my life, fryed my brain or screwed up anybodys life that i know. people need to quit buying into the hype that marijuana kills - which is completely ludicrous, marijuana has never and will never kill anybody read all the evidence before you decide that marijuana is evil, dont pull some bullshi* facts out because i know the truth, i know the facts, i just want to know why people cant think for themselves. its not a poison, its not a drug, its a plant... a tree is a tree right?

LEGALIZE WEED LEGALIZE FREEDOM

thanks

Answer 1

They aren't going to "legalize" weed for a few reasons:
A. you can't tax it, not if people are able to grow it themselves.
B. the "church groups"=Voters, are not going to hear it!
C. the accessibility to "minors" would be uncontrollable, they'd snag it from their parents, older siblings, or rip off the neighbors plants.
D. the ability to "hybrid" the plant would produce THC potency, that could be dangerous. C'mon, you know what "skunk" is, some of that just makes you a zombie. Operating motor vehicles would be just dangerous.
E. Government makes too much money from property seizures, auctions, fines, court costs, etc. all related to weed, they "ain't gonna give it up"!!!!
It does need to be "decriminalized", you can't grow it, but you don't go to jail for a quarter ounce and shoved into jail with murders and rapists for god's sake!!
If you can serve the country, vote, and buy beer, you should be able to smoke it in the privacy of your own home. You give it to minors, same penalty as giving them alcohol.
I guarantee I have smoked more pot then all the people and yourself who answer this all put together. I don't smoke it anymore, no reason, just don't. But in my 47yrs, I have never heard of someone murdering their entire family because they were high on pot. They need to go after the Meth Heads, Meth Labs, Meth distributers, spend tax dollars fighing that!!
And Alcohol is a way worse Legal Drug then pot!!
The worst anyone high is going to do is eat all your food!!!

Answer 2

Sorry but you sound like a big idiot. Apart from the fact that you can't spell or use proper grammar, your arguments are pretty crappy and based on your love of pot. Yay for you. Obviously I'm not going to tell you to stop smoking weed because I couldn't care less about you ruining your own health. But if you get into a car after smoking weed then you're putting other people at risk, and that's a pretty selfish thing to do just because you think it's fun to be "absolutely blowed". A lot of people people who smoke a lot of weed end up destroying their friendships and relationships for various reasons. My sister used to do it a lot and I found I didn't want to be around her because she was so boring when she was stoned, and when she didn't have weed she got cranky. Now she's stopped and she's a person again. I don't bother arguing with potheads these days as there's not much point. You're obviously not planning to change your mind about this so why even ask the question? It seems you are just trying to justify this, maybe even to yourself, but you clearly don't know the facts yourself.
I would be interested to know what your job is though. There are few jobs where you can go in off your face and still do properly.

Based on what you know, and how you respond to the chemicals in it, you may very well be right. Your body has probably gotten used to it so that ill effects are no longer felt. I suggest that since there is not a full chronology given of from the root beginnings until now that your evidence is faulty at best. You don't have all of the facts, and have focused only on what you have experienced. I have a grand niece that could drop dead any day because of birth defects that can be traced right back to her parents use of "weed", alcohol, and other drugs as well. Predominately, it was booze and weed. Nothing you have to say in your rant, prejudiced point of view, or your evidence will ever convince me that her birth defects are not a direct result of the use of weed by her parents.

people damn judgemental smoking weed

Answer 5

Because weed ruined the lives and mental health of my mother and my brother. My mother is slowly turning her life round but she has suffered permanent brain damage, and my brother is still smoking it and is affecting his life (and sadly his kids') in horrible ways I'm not even going to get in to.
If it's not causing you a problem then fine, whatever, but you need to broaden your scope a little and realise that drugs affect different people in different ways.
The statistics on murders committed under the influence of cannabis would shock you, so don't tell me it doesn't kill.
Frankly I don't care if you damage your mental health through drug abuse; like my brother and mother, you probably wouldn't be able to see the affect it was having anyway.
BUT to legalise it would be to make it accessible and justifiable to a lot of people whom it would affect in awful ways and for the rest of their lives. So before you make comments like 'legaise it' look beyond yourself and your own selfish needs (selfishness-another personality trait common with cannabis users)
