if you find the FACTS, you will know it's not as strong as alcohol, you cannot overdose, and no physical addiction so if you are weak minded, stay away. so why do you hate what you dont even understand? GOD CREATED WEED. he didnt make coke or meth, you have to add baking soda and other crap. I see it as a test to see if you are responsible or not. those who abuse it RUIN it for the ones who ARE RESPONSIBLE. yes, we do exist, I can quit WHENEVER i want. it's like ice cream. have it or not doesnt matter for me. been clean for over a month after smoking weed 2 times a day everyday. GIVE ME A GOOD REASON because i dont operate machinery, drive, go to school, cause public disturbance, smoke around non smokers, and i dont go to work high either. so you hate me? because i smoke? you hate your parents if they sip beer? why? it's legal? i dont think it matters. but give me a good reason.

no i'm educated. I have a new outlook on life and greater appreciation.

ANSWER ME THIS IDIOT, IS IT WORSE THAN ALCOHOL? ALCOHOL IS LEGAL. alcohol causes 10x more diseases and is 25x times likely to cause violence and car accidents. god damn man you dont know **** about marijuana don't talk. i need answers from people who studied the stuff. not seen someone use it once or twice. you're stupider than a stoner. and i'm dead serious. god damn ignorant *****.

and i just said i quit. I was heavily using it everyday 2x a day. LEARN TO READ. I'm smarter than you when I'm high. i hate stupid people man, just die already. you just said something that i ALREADY contradicted before you even answered. and yeah. I bet I outshine you on everything from income to grades to social life. I can "kill all my brain cells" and still be smarter than you. this is proof. THANK YOU. now go to hell.

oh yeah, I still got tons of money. so you were wrong on every part of your pathetic answer. if the government told everyone to give head to any political figures that asks, you would be one of the many idiots who would. take off the label and examine it before you speak on it. ask a doctor and be suprised. tell your dad to film your foolish reaction.

sorry, but i dislike people who find one source and stay at it without knowing anything. I've been through all aspects of it. from hating it to learning about it. i just find people to be so ignorant because it's illegal. everything has potential to be abused. especially alcohol but no one will go there cuz it's legal. which i think is completely retarded.

man forget this. too many people already made up their minds to hate marijuana. hate what you can't understand. ignorant idiots.

thanks. i look at everything in a neutral inanimate way. prejudging is so ignorant and stupid. weed has benefits and negatives. meth and coke has wayyyyyy more negatives. i don't think meth or coke is bad, i don't think using them would be a good choice due to the negative effects and minimal (if any) benefits. the people who aren't responsible or branch off into other drugs are the ones who ruin it for everyone. I will never try anything else because i know it's a different high which you cannot even operate. I've tried cigarettes and i'm glad i dont like them. i perfer weed. i've tried alcohol, it's okay, but not as good as weed. I'm smart enough to know if i try meth, I could end up dying. alcohol is easy for me to control, i drink once a month or twice. not even to the point where i throw up. can you control meth or meth controls you? i know i control weed, and i get quality weed 25 a gram frosted and purp. I can still quit. Now that I've quit, I appreciate everything more.

I'm happy you're clean. I'm sorry weed was a gateway drug for you but I was well informed on every drug of the negatives and postives. the effects and everything. I got information from every source i could possibly find so I could maybe run across something I didn't know. there were times i wanted to try something else but I stuck with weed because I knew it would only make the people who say it was a gateway drug have pride in their statement and i didnt want to prove them right. I'm gonna be clean for 1-3 years and go back occasionally being a responsible user. then I'm going to quit again and restart and repeat. i can demonstrate self control and have a good lifestyle and relax.

Answer 1

I feel this way , Partner....If I can afford it ...If i still go to work....If i am not hurting anyone...then its ok.

To hell with these retarded, closed-minded, do gooders.
They probably smoke pole

Answer 2

First, I don't "hate weed." There are lots of reasons I don't smoke it, and wouldn't smoke it whether or not it were legal. I think you are right that it should probably be legal. The problem is, the effects of the active ingredient in marijuana are very tricky to predict. The body has lots and lots of receptors for THC, in many cells, not just in certain parts of the brain. This means that marijuana may have lots of side effects. Some side effects may be good, others harmful. Some may be very good for you, but nonexistent for someone else, or maybe even highly dangerous for a few people. It will depend on their particular physiology.

In any case, it is being studied more seriously in England and Germany, with there is less "moral" outrage about it. I've included a link from New Scientist, a British journal devoted to news in the sciences, that has many popular articles about marijuana, written by legitimate scientists in a style for educated lay people. Read some articles and decide for yourself. Maybe if you study the issue you will change your mind about your own use. Or maybe you'll conclude that it's not a problem after all.

Answer 3

There's nothing wrong with weed, i used to be against it but my opinion slowly changed when i realized that it does no harm, infact it relaxes you and it's not like a drug. it's not addicting that's for sure but it's against some religions. I do admit that I was peer pressured into smoking weed. When im smoking I'm not doing it because I cant live without it, i'm either socializing with friends or if i'm smoking by myself it's cause i'm stressed. Think back when you DID smoke weed. How was it? Wasn't it nice? the feeling of being high takes away all your worries for 1-2 hours and it's not like you fall into depression afterwards.. You're just your "normal self" again. Sounds like you've done a lot for your boyfriend - you quit drinking for him. Wouldn't it only be fair if he quit something for you too? Talk about it with him. He should understand and if he loves you, he should be ready to do anything for you... Cause doing something behind your gf's back isn't right. And by saying "his dad recently found out of him smoking" you mean weed, not cigarettes, right? I think that as long as you don't do it inside (I do though but my roommates and I are fine with it) it shouldn't be a problem!

Answer 4

Most people who are dependent on substances like weed or pills or alcohol or whatever say, "I can quit when ever I want" without realizing people who don't have a problem don't say that!
And who hates you? Maybe that's really paranoia from smoking all that weed while you don't go to school or drive?
Smoke all you want for all I care.
Some can and and some shouldn't. Whether it's a healthy thing to do, well smoking anything isn't at all healthy for anybody. Whether getting high is harmful is a matter of opinion
I suppose.
God created tobacco too, that doesn't mean I should smoke it!

Answer 5

OK im 31 or maybe 32. used to ask the same exact questions. never got any good answers. smoked aaaaaalllllllloooooooootttt of weed. had alot of pot head friends, introduced some to weed. some of the most memorable times of my life. i think i started smokin because i wanted to try new things, i was very amused, i liked letting my mind and body wander. some friends introduced me to meth. i loved it even more. i liked letting my mind and race. then the paranioa started in the pot made it worse. didnt even like smokin anymore because i realized how paranoid and reclusive it made me.especailly after bad acid and shroom episodes pot was not really an option because it was no fun whatsoever because of how paranoid and weak it made me feel. im clean now and am doing ok. have a great job @ 60,000 a year+ investments in realestate on the side, 4 br 2 ba house with 3 acre yard, wife and kids. im glad i can speak from experience and say that i was very lucky that i made it through with somehow no criminal record! AMAZING! some of my old friends i still see, and they still smoke and are still reclusive and paranoid. but those of us who arent in prison,dead, or on skid row have definatly quit the hard drugs. but i do still drink which will probably be my downfall in the end. please save this message to read in 10 years.good luck lil bro.

Answer 6

I don't hate weed.It doesn't make me feel good but if someone wants to smoke in the privacy of their home or at a concert,it is alright with me.
I smoked as a kid back in the 60's and 70's but after being a mom,I didn't enjoy it any longer.
It did help with the pain for my step-dad when he was dying from colon cancer,he was the straightest person you could ever meet so it was hard for him to ask us to get him some for his pain.It helped him at bit,at least he was relaxed more.There is some medical benifits from smoking weed, we should be looking into that more.

Answer 7

you need to remember this country is full of misguided people,they are too afraid to think about anything than what they were told,smoking weed is just as bad as going out and spending money on a cellphone that people talk to much on,text message constantly,or sit in front of as big screen and watch the news and shows their told to watch,they will tell you its not the same,but people are missing the sI'mple things in life to talk and walk(electronic leashes)get a call and no matter where or who their with they answer the leash,then tell you your screwed up for smoking weed.....im on your side,BUT,ill answer your question......weed son will take you down the wrong paths in life,make you think for your self.....you should not do that,you will start with weed then go to the drink then to other hard drugs.......wait i mean you start with the drink first ......then...weed...then cigarettes...no wait cigarettes then weed....yeah,it will rot your brain,just look at?...........well it will so just stop...ok.........know i gotta go get high and relive the stress the pro sac would do or what ever pharmaceutical i can take from my kid,the doctors say it works great,but might want to make you kill yourself,like weed ..........right?............

Answer 8

i think some people choose to judge you and they're not intelligent enough to differenciate between hating someone and judging them. They want to force you to stick to what THEY think is right. I have no problem with marijuana. In fact, it does have many positive effects. There are people that think if it's illegal then it's against God's will or whatever.

Oh, and I've never smoked weed in my life. In case anyone was wondering

Answer 9

But there is a mental addiction (where you think you have to have it)

God also made belladonna and that is a poison.

One reason i dislike you has nothing to do with the weed, but the rather shrill nature of your discussion.

You have to learn that if you want people to support your position, you cannot insult them or their intelligence.

The reason many people are against weed is the fact that we have met a person who smoked who was lethargic, lacked ambition and went nowhere with their life. (I met a person like that in college)

Personally, I have no problem with marijuana

Answer 10

It's a filthy drug that makes you smell. It takes away your judgment. It's addictive. It takes your money and your freedom. What's to like?
