I don't really want to risk that. Would you?

They're the same things insomniacs deal with every night. I'm an insomniac and instead of taking sleeping pills that make me feel drowsy and sick when I wake up, I smoke before I go to bed. My inability to sleep or subsequent restlessness doesn't stem from Marijuana use.

You're arguing against it to a point where people seem to believe that, though.

And it's not physically addictive like cigarettes. If you become psychologically dependent on it, that's a personal issue, not one related to the drug itself.

Well, I don't see a good reason to use marijuana when there are all of the risks and side effects I've pointed out, unless it is for medical purposes. That's all.

Whether or not it should be illegal is a totally different argument. Personally, I believe that the government will continue to waste millions of dollars and countless amounts of time if it continues to try and crack down on marijuana use, and that marijuana users aren't necessarily bad people who should be thrown in jail. Thus, I support marijuana legalization. But that's a different topic.

Because it is bad...
Why do people think it's good just because it's not as bad as cigs or alcohol

It's enjoyable, and boasts positive health effects at the same time. It's not like we're talking about crack or heroin where the person gets high and ****s their body over at the same time.

Why do you think it is bad?

Most people dont even know why they think weed is bad. just brainwashed by the media and government (who made tobacco and alcohol legal). Weed isnt bad, peopleactually have to use it for medical reasons

There are lots of other activities that are enjoyable, boast positive health effects at the same time, and don't carry with them the risks and side effects that marijuana carries.

Okay...? Then do them.

The "risks" aren't exactly worrying because they all have a minute risk.

[KingJay]

Because since we were young in elementary they have brainwashed us to believe that. Now people are living thinking that Weed is one of the worst drugs out there, when in reality it is not.

I used to be one of those sheeps that hated anything to do with weed and I disliked being around people that did it. Now that I am informed and did my research I wish I would have never been that way. Weed is awesome. I do believe that any one under the age of 18 should not be allowed to smoke it.

Another thing is that society believes that weed makes you lazy. Nope you were already lazy. I don't ever want to be considered to be a stereotypical pot head... The ones that have no job and stay at home being bums, or the dumb little annoying immature kids acting stupid on the streets while high.

I know many people that are very successful and they smoke weed. Many of them use it as a "reward" after a long and stressful day at work or what ever. I'm pretty much that way too. I work, pay my bills, own my own car etc etc... but I do smoke, and I'm happy doing so

Also like many have said, if you feel like it's "unhealthy" to smoke it then there is millions of other ways to use weed. Vape, edibles, oils etc etc.....

[St. Charles]

I hate when people use "alcohol and cigs are much worse" to say that weed isn't bad.

Neither of the three are very good. Can we move on? Alcohol is put in so many things and consumed by so many that it would only cause an uproar of people in the U.S. It didn't even work in the 1920's, so you know that it wouldn't work now.

Cigarettes are on the way out. People aren't really smoking them nearly as much as they used to. The baby boomers who had gotten addicted to them are all now dying of lung cancer, so cigarettes are already seeing a massive decline. They could be made illegal with relatively little backlash, though. I'll give you that.

It's kinda pointless to legalize weed. If you see that companies are already getting rich off of the by exploiting the addictions of others and profiting from what is essentially the suffering of others, why risk having the same thing happen all over again with weed? Of course it wouldn't be as bad as cigarettes or alcohol, but it still isn't good. However, why would you want to integrate something negative at all to society? Also, weed isn't hard to get and it isn't hard to find. Jails are already overcrowded, so I doubt cops are scavenging for weed-smokers. Those who already smoke weed will probably continue to smoke it and nothing will happen to them. So let's leave it at that.

[Kkamjong]

It's disgusting drug and I will never date anyone who smokes. Ever. I honestly don't even like having pot heads as friends.

You keep saying "risks" as if they're actual risks.

Looks like all those anti-drug campaigns in the 90s worked This thread is a mess

This too, the media plays a huge role in demonizing weed. Anytime there is news related to drugs even when it has nothing to do with weed they will bring it into the equation lol.

[GreasyBruce]

Puritanical values that restrict any enjoyment in people's lives.

People are afraid of things that produce pleasure and satisfaction, and they're also afraid of letting people choose what they do with their own bodies.

[Shaliydah88]

The only bad thing is the smell/ the fact that it attracts roaches. I don't smoke weed so idc anyways

[keerbyriri]

People would hold the same views towards alcohol if it happened to be illegal in this time we live in. People living in the probation probably had the same moral conflicts with one another over the fear held towards the drug, just as how weed is bringing up these arguments now because it happens to be illegal at this point in time.
