Isn't smoking weed cool?


Question:
I don't think there is anything wrong with smoking weed! If you people want to criticize someone then use alcohol as an example.. Someone said their grandfater died from smoking weed? I don;t think so. And for the person who said that smoking weed is addictive, you must be a weak *** person to say that. People need to worry about real problems and leave pot heads the hell alone

Answers:
Alright I have to get this out before I say anything else. The absolute idiot who goes by "mymansionisabox" should really start looking up what hes talking about. You do not lose any brain cells at all smoking pot. And as for this strange "heart attack" idea, let me show you why that isnt possible. The active ingredient in tobacco is nicotine. Nicotine tightens, hardens, and overall consticts your arteries and veins, making it more difficult for the blood to flow and raising your heart rate. Marijuana on the other hand is different. The active ingredient in pot is THC (TetraHydraCannabinol) which loosens, de-constricts, and softens your arteries and veins. It is impossible that a heart attack can be caused by marijuana.

Now, I'm a rather heavy pot smoker. And I completely agree with you. Heavy hard drugs such as crack and meth should be illegal and fought against. But pot, which causes no brain or body damage at all (except of course the smoking part to your lungs) shouldnt be illegal. If anyone would like to know why marijuana is really illegal, I'll put a link to very good article on it in the sources box. I encourage everyone here to read it and open their minds a bit.


Peace

It is illegal.

no it's groos and do start doing it because it is the gateway to trying other drugs!

my name is natalya and i am an addict. marijuana was my drug of choice for years, until probation told me i had to test clean. when i detoxed from marijuana, i experienced nausea, vomiting, convulsions, insomnia, headaches, etc. i couldn't enjoy life without mood-altering substances, so i turned to poisonous substances which don't show up on tests. i nearly killed myself. today i have two and a half years clean and have learned how to enjoy life instead of just endure it.

Actually, you are absolutly wrong. I have met someone whos grandmother died from smoking weed.
What weed does is raises your heart level. She died from a heart attack. Also, weed kills brain cells. The first time you smoke weed.. you loose 5 IQ points.
Weed also, in many cases world wide, causes sterillity.

Weed is not a good thin, why do you think they banned it so long ago.
It was LEGAL AT ONE POINT.
Look stuff up before you say that there are no real problems.

It's fine with me, but do realize that CRS (can't remember sh!t) is real! I smoked all through college and I still have problems almost 10 years later. It was really bad right after (grad. 1998) I got out of college. I forgot my boyfriend's birthday (now husband, he forgave me, twice!), our anniversary, and who knows what else (I can't remember. So, just be aware >;-)

Yeah you just keep thinking that.

You will start out with weed.. then you'll go to meth, get hooked on that. your teeth will fall out. you will look like your 70.. No job will hire you, because you'll look like crap.

But if you stay smoking weed, years down the road your body will be slow.. your reaction time will be very slow, and even with weed, years of smoking that will make you look old.

So yeah you just keep wasting your money on weed, and talking sh/t to the people who don't smoke it.. You will someday find out that it wasen't worth it.

I see your point, in that cigarettes and booze are 'acceptable' but weed isn't. I myself smoked it for a long time, and don't see it as majorly harmful, but only in comparison to other drugs. What happened to me, is that I just naturally grew out of it, and realised that actually, I had been wasting a lot of money on it for all those years! It makes you sleepy, a little bit dopey, and paranoid.. not really worth paying for that, is it?

well i will say that pot does have a lot of detrimental aspects above and beyond what is actually publicized. The big problem with it is that is really kills your ability to socialize. This does create issues in the work world, particularly if you smoke while youre out of school (not necessarily while youre working, but.).

i smoked pretty steadily thru college and this is how it's affected me. smoking weed is as addictive as smoking cigarettes -- you're excuse I'm sure is that you can quit whenever you want to, but the bottom line is that you quit when you don't have any.

smokin weed IS addictive (maybe not physically).

im "addicted"

The last time I smoked weed my heart beat really fast and I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

smokeing pot was a lot of fun but just like playing with toys was a lot of fun you eventually need to let it go. As long as you can do that and don't be stupid and get arrested over it I don't think its a big deal either. I'll even go as far to say its made me a better person in a lot of ways but I don't smoke really anymore. I don't smoke because I'm going to pharmacy school and theres a off chance I'll be drug tested. My goals in life are not worth jepordizeing over smokeing weed. Its all about priorites and moderation just like anything else in life

well actually it isnt good 4 u and u can die from it. there are better things to do then weed

You are not gonna think this way in a couple of years. Right now you just smoke pot to have fun, but if you continue smoking, it's gonna take your life. You better quit before you get down to reality.
