The excessive consumption of it does--it's literally a poison the way we consume it. More than you can imagine. It makes bud look utterly harmless.

And I guarantee that marijuana smoking won't be performed everywhere but rather in designated areas in public places like cigarettes. I agree with you that non-users shouldn't be able to have to be exposed to the smoke.

But that would be self harming, weed effects others aswell

The only problem I have is that it sounds like you're COMPLETELY saying science has disproved every side effect of "overuse" of cannabis.

Cannabis does had bad implications and you can't argue against it. There is a reason it was banned before (and still is). Now you can argue to what extent these implications are severe but nevertheless there are implications.

Knowing a friend who suffers from Schizophrenia because he used cannabis.

You are operating under the assumption that the decision to make pot illegal was based on scientific research on the causes and effects of using pot. If you look at the history of cannabis you'll learn that is not the case at all.

Also all these health hazards presented in this thread are only associated with SMOKING pot. There are other ways to do it - such as ingesting it in food. Where are the harmful effects in that?

So what? Your ignorance about it is what makes it a generalization.

Glad I could educate you.

Someone else actually did in a more educated and mature post.

Also, it's not ignorance if I was misinformed about something. Please resort your flawfree self to a dictionary.

"It would seem logical to deduce". Right. Real studies reinforce their deductions with facts and statistics.

Keep in mind that bogus studies that claim pot is bad for you are met with studies that show the opposite and demonstrate health BENEFITS from pot smoking. Cannabis has been used for its medicinal properties for generations...

Except that's not what it said.

Um yes? How do you think studies reach breakthroughs without logic? Yes, it's used medically for people with AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis, people who are already very ill and need some relief from pain. I have 0 problem with medical usage (although I'm still apprehensive). But that's not what we're talking about here. And even still, research is in preliminary stages, seeing as there's not been that many people ON cannabis/medical cannabis for an extended amount of time. We're all still guinea pigs, basically. Which goes back to me saying this is all giving me vintage pro-smoking advert teas.

I think we're past that counter-argument but you seem to be constantly bringing it up.

because its the only thing you potheads have to say why it should be legal

I'm not trying to say two wrongs should make a right but who are you to tell me how to control my health? And Just as you did, I can easily pull out 50 articles stating the benefits of weed and I'm sure MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS themselves can as well.

I respect your stance but to ban it because it harms your health is narrow-minded especially when there are more "poisonous" substances we consume everyday. Think of a better argument.

Edit: And I'll stop equating car smoke with weed smoke when you stop equating weed with HEROINE. Two totally different monsters with one of them being for complete idiots.

these poisonous things you go on about are more of a elf harm tho seeing as they do the harm to yourself, smoking weed in public effect OTHERS

[Eaten By Lions]

But I can understand the "overuse" argument but I don't think it should be used as a foundation to criminalize pot because any and everything can be harmful in excess and ANYTHING can be psychologically addicting. I mean for goodness sakes there are TV shows out right now that feature people addicted to inflatable pool toys.

Sorry, I don't consider your sources to be breakthroughs. If there were REAL breakthroughs that were reinforced by the actual drug itself, it would be permeated in society the way harmful effects of other recreational drugs are.

Weed is disgusting, that's all I'm going to say.

Are you sure??

And I'm only saying that to show you how silly you sound, and it's clear you realise how silly it sounds. You said car smoke = weed first, not me.

Edit: And funny you consider weed (something you want readily able to buy) a "monster"

I never said mine were. Stop rushing to reply to me and actually read what I'm writing/linking.

I said how do you expect any sort of medical breakthrough without logic, or scientists deducing the problems/facts? You're basically closed off to anything challenging what you believe, and as such I find this conversation frugal and pointless. So I'll stop here.

this, there is literally no argument to prove that weed is good. It's just disgusting.

[Eaten By Lions]

I replied to you b/c your arguments are the only ones that weren't like "omg it smells" I don't think I'm closed off I thought I was responding to your arguments in a logical way.

It's just...if there really were problems to uncover I think they would have been unearthed by now. Obviously everyone can have their own opinion on pot but I hate it when the government regulates **** and people don't speak up. It's indicative of a bigger problem. That's just the way I see it.

Legalising a drug does not a free country make.

Unless weed being illegal is now a human rights violation??? America is a "free" country, but it has much bigger social obstacles than getting people high.
