Just because a person is against something doesn't make them and idiot. There are anti-* people everywhere and I wouldn't just group them all together as mental defects.
and :laugh: at your closed-minded comment!
I'm sure people can get mentally addicted to it and i have seen that. I myself smoke a couple times a week, am I lazy? no more than I would be if I didn't smoke. Do I see any side effects? Nothing that affects me in any serious way. The biggest downside I have from smoking is sometimes it messes with my throat ( no more than smoking a cigarette, hookah, cigar, etc..)
For what it's worth I own my own place, consider myself academically accomplished, make a good living, am very physically active (lift weights 4-5 times a week, mountain bike, scuba dive, etc...) have a great gf who does not smoke....
Having said that, I can definetely see a downside to friends I have that smoke everyday ALL day. I only smoke when I know I have some downtime to relax and kick back. Weed has been amazing in opening my mind and making me think about things I never would have otherwise. And it has been a hell of a help in putting on extra calories for my bulk.
I honestly cannot see how anyone can say alcohol is better for the body/mind than weed.
Well done! It's nice to see someone who doesn't argue something, but rather points the OP towards information on it!
I also agree with the statements that the smoke is bad for your lungs (but that's why you need a vaporizer
) and that it can lead to problems for some people.Me, I'm an active, functional pothead. I smoke, go running, discing, fishing, climbing, kayaking, pretty much everything. Only a few times (mostly late at night) does smoking make me feel lethargic and lazy.
I stopped smoking for about eight months over last winter / spring, and when I started up, my grades didn't suffer at all.
I spent a month in Sydney taking history classes, and I drank and smoked very heavily, all day every day, and I still ended up leading all the study groups we had and answering everyone's questions about the materials we were covering.
In short: I am a functional pothead. I know people who aren't, who have pretty much ruined their lives, but none of them ruined their lives with weed, always something else.
http://www.medicalmarijuanaprocon.org/ <---- Good source of information on weed. It has all the studies done on weed in a nice easy to understand format.
I'm sorry, but that story is ridiculous. People running into concrete walls because they smoked marijuana? WTF. This sounds like an isolated case; people generally don't hurt themselves when they're stoned from weed. It's not like alcohol or PCP.
Marijuana also makes you want to punch babies and jump off skyscrapers. It causes grown men to get into bloody fistfights in dark alleys. Smoke it on a Saturday afternoon while listening to Grateful Dead and you will want to invade Poland. Oh noez - Godwin's law.

Wow. Very scientific. "MJ artificially cause the release of these chemicals". What chemicals? If you enjoy a chocolate bar because it has chemicals that causes an explosion of flavor in your mouth, that's construed as artificial, too?
You don't need MJ, that's fine. Much like I don't need to drink a 6-pack of mountain dew everyday when others do. Unfortunately, your stance is grounded purely in ignorance and naivete.
