I drink but don't smoke weed. I am not anti weed but the weed smokers I do know are basically losers with no job prospects at all. Its sad, but I don't blame the weed for them being losers, I just equate losers smoking a lot of weed. Not that you fine ATOT weed smokers are losers, its just the ones I know personally who just happen to be losers and smoke weed. I honestly know only one alcoholic and he died falling from the 14th floor while drunk. I know of no weed smokers who have died from weed. They just basically dont even move when wasted.

The thing to remember is that MOST of the people that smoke pot don't openly talk about it. You're only seeing the liberal ones who don't care and are open about it. For everyone of those you see, there's probably 20 people that wouldn't admit it in public.

Basically, the smart ones are hush and you don't realize they are smokers.

"Like a Bad Dancer blames bad dancing on his balls"....

There's a worse addiction - an alcohol....

"I'm still doing pretty good".....

Isn't it?

Poll just show, how marijuana is BAD - none of users don't want to ADMIT IT....A PROBLEM...

Just like an alcoholic does NOT admit that he/she is an alcoholic....

Same with this Tread/Poll....

DENYING POT ADDICTION is like Geoege Bush telling that he's not an alcoholic....

GOOD...You just prove what it means to be a pothead...

For example, I like George Carlin, not only he say's The Truth, but ENTERTAINS...

And I DO KNOW, WHAT HE SAYS - to feel "entertained" unlike you:

"I do get entertained by people, who I DO NOT know what they're trying to say"...I do get entertained by a band who do play music I DO NOT KNOW what they're playing...
I do get entertained by reading a book, while I DON'T KNOW what book is all about?"

What a wonderful, entertaining life is it? Isn't it so?

Actually modern science has proven that marijuana smoke, even heavy smoking, doesn't impair lung function in the short term nor long term.

At most, you get a sore throat, which is far less 'harmful' that your everyday hangover.

Pot smoke does have carcinogens, you are burning a plant and inhaling the smoke. That said, with today's higher grade's of pot a few tokes is all it takes, there's simply no need to smoke a lot of it anymore.

Quit trolling. Trying to tell a bunch of smart people that pot is bad is going to get you laughed at. It's far less harmful than alcohol and people are better of using a little weed at the end of their day than drinking a little wine. You certainly can't argue it's any worse unless you want to make up facts and make an ass out of yourself.

Not many carcinogens, and it's been proven that they are mitigated by the THC.

So reality is it's a rather harmless smoke unless you over do it. Still far less harmful than say.... drinking a 12 pack of mountain dew in a short amount of time.

Another great post! :thumbsup:


But you may have accused me of being a pothead in it, which I most assuredly am not.
 
is mj or alcohol more harmful than what? Noticed a lot of these polls lately, where people are forgetting to mention what a particular disjunctive is supposed to be applied to.
 
all the people that think weed makes you stupid have clearly never seen a pothead instantly turn into an engineer when they don't have anything to smoke out of...

you could literally give them a cheese, a clock, and a sock and they would craft the most ingenious smoking device out of it.

Usually you just head to the kitchen find an apple, orange, watermelon, etc. cut a few holes, maybe use some tinfoil and bam, a tasty smoking device.

I don't think weed causes mental health problems but might trigger what haven't yet manifested. I'm not an expert but I remember seeing a study years ago, that found that there usually was some form of history of mental health problems in the patient or family.

but yeah it can definitely exacerbate some conditions, which I guess is what it's doing when it triggers them.

Alcohol can also trigger mental health conditions with some people; believe me I've seen it first hand.

Nice try, but mental health problems aren't directly linked to Cannabis use. Correlation does not equal causation, and given how therapuetic cannabis is, many people with existing mental problems use it to cope. So just because you see someone with mental problems using it, don't think cannabis is the cause. It's a coping mechanism.
