This is very true, and exactly the reason I keep it on the DL in general, and on these boards. It's tough, people judge you and make assumptions that are absolutely untrue. I am a very productive member of society. I am graduating college in one of the most difficult majors available and doing it in the minimum time possible while also holding down a job where I've been working 20-30 hr weeks so that I can support myself. I have many responsibilities and I think the assumption that weed controls your life is completely unfair. Wes, while I like you man, you are one of these people. I see you steotyping weed smokers, never trying it, and then in a few years being strung out on coke (I sincerely hope not though).continental_drift wrote:I just feel that its relevance outside of this thread is nil, especially in light ofhow other less analytical forum members take something like this and runwith it.

Please seek facts and to gain others (pun intended) POV.
For now, I'll leave this thread, but I'm sure I will regret that .
The problem with seeking facts in this matter is that since it's such a heavily lobbied matter, there are "facts" from "scientific studies" to support any possibly opinion. For every study showing the relatively minimal health risks associated with smoking marijuana, there is another that says it will ruin your life and kill you by age 30. So who do you trust? I trust person experience of mine and trustworth others.Rex wrote:Please seek facts For now, I'll leave this thread, but I'm sure I will regret that .
How much more trouble do people cause when they are smoking then when they are drinking?what crazy trouble would break out if marijuana was legalized?elwesso wrote:Legalizing weed would likely lead to less strain on the judicial system in theory.. I would say htat most drug charges (over 50%) are from weed... However, would the influx of people being arrested by doing things stupid WHILE high offset any benefits? maybe, maybe not, its pretty hard to say...
I think its a tossup, but if I had to lean one way, id probably say it needs to stay as is . its much more dangerous health wise than alcohol is..

P.S. The Mic, when's the last time you posted NOT stoned? It seems like it's been a while...
I thought the same way for the longest time. And I felt even more strongly this way AFTER I had smoked a couple times. It was very unnerving at first and I was far too tense. Yeah everything was kinda funny but I normally just ended up falling asleep in an hour anyway. So while it was minorly fun, I disliked the coughing (I didn't know how to smoke) and like alcohol, was too much an innebriation. I didn't smoke again for like a year.colies97~240sx wrote:This brings up an interesting question. Why does someone feel the need/want to smoke marijuana? I can understand it if you are a cancer patient etc. but why would a healthy human being need to smoke it? Is it to make you feel better? To be happy? Shouldn't people be able to feel good without the aid of drugs/alcohol and if you can't then don't you think you should look for what it is that makes you unhappy instead of lighting one up. I don't smoke and drink occasionally, and I can't understand the reasons why someone would need to smoke marijuana. I guess the same question can go for the use of alcohol and even cigarettes.
I had a similar discussion with my brother and he said something about doing it because it was wrong so he could "change" the system into making it right. It didn't make sense to me and I still don't understand why. Why do people need to alter the way they normally feel with drugs?
Agreed. It's inconvenient at times, but no different than most other drugs...Jesda wrote:One thing I hate about marijuana is that you cant as easily control the high. Youre just stuck with it until it wears off.
