Weed is not drugs!
Educate yozrself
Weed is a gift from god.
There is a dokumentary on YOUTUBE, why and how weed got illegal.
Its pretty interessing if someone is interessted

Um...just because it's helping some people doesn't invalidate the people it's hurting. It's not like "who cares about all the kids who are dropping out of school because they're smoking weed, getting lazy and losing interest in things they used to try at, because it's giving cancer patients an appetite and is helping them with their nausea!"

Most people know about the health benefits of marijuana. But long-term abuse can also cause schizophrenia in people with a genetic, biological predisposition to schizophrenia. It just depends on how your brain is wired. Some people can smoke it every day for their whole lives and be completely fine. Others can smoke it every day for a couple of years and develop permanent brain damage.

Everything in moderation .

Do people think others do drugs to fit in? People get curious of a drug, and try it. Friends may recommend it, and try it. I don't think I've ever met anyone who did it to "fit in" or seem cool (of course, this doesn't mean it hasn't happened).

I'm just baffled that there are people who only view drug use as a way to fit in. Not everyone does it to fit in, hell, I'm sure the percentage who do it to fit in is extremely small.

Medical marijuana and normal pot are two completely different things. Although judging from your comment, your friends mum is not taking the medical stuff.

I don't get this topic. So basically you have to try a DRUG first before giving an opinion on it ?
I guess I'll have to try out the deadly crocodile drug first too !

Never used drugs in my life(not even smoked or drinked in my life). I don't mind if my friends do it(I tell them to stop, that's what real friends do) but please don't force it on me.

Just because I dislike weed and never tried it doesn't mean that I am ignorant.

LOL, and people are trying to rationalise with someone who believes this nonsense. Goodbye

This is not the same.
Why r u people starting to bring hardcore drugs in this?

But an example
Would u buy someones single without hearing it?

The post was saying it's always bad to smoke weed, which is untrue. For some people it might be hurting them negatively, but that's more dependent on the person, rather than weed itself. There's no need for generalizations.

I don't even smoke weed as I have asthma and the smell does nothing for me but even I know how it can help people.

Everything in moderation people.

I can't compare a drug to a hardcore drug but you can compare it to a song ?

Yes, I witnessed it first hand at my school. Kids feeling the need to smoke in order to be apart of the 'cool' group. It's really sad

If you're not caving into peer pressure or a recommendation from your friends, I'm baffled why you started doing drugs in the first place

it's not bad when you only try it once, i's not addictive

So it's no more dangerous than alcohol. Thanks for clearing that up.

It is addictive (not that much physically, but mentally yes) when you do it everyday. Basically ANY taken subustance which affect your brain cells through their receptors is addictive. The receptors after a while of taking are becoming less sensitive and enlarge their number in brain. When you stop taking the psychoactive substance, the concentration of a drug rapidly drops and the receptors which were used to stimulation (and provoke good feelings through them) are not stimulated anymore and you feel bad, lazy, upset etc.

Weed is not really highly addictive drug. When you smoke it occassionaly, its hard to grow addiction. But it doesnt mean you cant get addicted. The general mechanism of the development of addiction with psychoactive substances is the same.
