i know i've probably made too many topics already...but this is a really good one
i just found out that 4 of my friends have either smoked weed, or smoke it currently..
i know some ppl smoke it for medical reasons, or to deal with personal problems, but i'm starting to get REALLY pissed at ppl who do it becuz other ppl do it, or for no reason at all! i'm sure sum1 will prove me wrong, probably solid, he does that too often, but i do have the right to an opinion...i'm sorry 4 wasting ur time, but i had to get that off my chest, becuz i'm starting to get pissed...
so u ppl can post ur arguements here, and any other things u wanna put silver ------------------

er... smoking pot feels pretty damn good, dude. That's why people do it. So a more interesting questions is why are you so against it?

well u know,
ppl do it to 'feel good', when its slowly killing them, i don't wanna be a nerd about this.... "yadda yadda, facts facts facts"..
i don't think ppl should be doing it, i mean, they get addicted, and then their lives get totally messed up.. yes i know that doesn't happen very often..
but not doing pot shows self respect, self responsiblity and self disipline. maybe i should just forget it all, and keep my trap shut.silver ------------------

Ok, here I go..Exactly.
Aside from that a lot of other things can make you feel really great. I haven't smoked pot and I don't know how it feels, but on the other hand- I wouldn't need to feel that great at all- my life is fine- and if it's not I MAKE it feel good. If you get the sense of self (3 things), and you like your life and are content- and you really don't want to get the least bit involved with the legal issues around the subject (no matter how small) - then you realy don't need to be smoking pot at all. And let's not forget how some peoples' faces get a little bit deformed after a few trips, and a lot after a good year of trips, and the examples I already told you of before. Some people smoke it for social acceptance and I believe that to be the most pathetic of all. That's just the worst. Those people want to be in the crowd or something, or really feel bigger than they are, or for them, it's a form of "instant maturity". And then again, for some, like damien said, just really feels that great. </lecture? who knows>

Everything is slowly killing people; BREATHING in this rat-hole of a city that I live in is slowly killing me. If you really want to attack something then go after something like cigarettes, because the additive power of nicotine is second only to HEROIN (or so I’ve heard. Also, please don’t go after cigarettes, because many people use them and that’s their choice, not anyone else’s.). Pot is no different then alcohol, except that where one is legal the other is not. BTW, please don’t attack alcohol, as you very well may become the first person whom I get in a flame war with out of my 200+ posts. Basically what I am trying to say is “why does it matter??” Should these people no longer be your friends because they smoke pot? Nothing has changed about them since before you knew; the only thing that has changed is your knowledge. I respect the fact that you don’t want to do drugs, but I don’t think you should look down on other people for doing them.

no. and for the people who DO get messed up, it would've been something else... i'd go so far as to say in a lot of cases pot keeps people from doing something even MORE destructive. I know that's true in my case. I would've killed myself by now if I didn't have the release marijuana give me. As for being "no worse" than alcohol, actually, imho alcohol is a lot worse. Marijuana relaxes you and allows your mind to wander off into weird spaces you wouldn't usually explore. Alcohol just shuts your brain off  (no, blain, I am NOT attacking alcohol... I enjoy it also, in moderation. At the moment I have REAL, distilled absinthe... that should provide my street cred :^) ) quote:

you have have those three and still smoke pot, my friend!!! Smoking pot is not a license to absolve yourself of all responsibility. It's just a way of relaxing for a few hours, and trust me - people NEED to relax to be responsible, and quite often at that. If you disagree, think about how IRRESPONSIBLE people are when they have a mental breakdown! <flame retardant>all I mean by "people are irresponsible when they have a mental breakdown" is that when you break down, you can't fulfill your RESPONSIBILITIES. It is in no way meant to be a perjorative statement. Thank you.</flame retardant> edit : sprayed some flame retardant on this thing.
