Inhaling smoke can cause cancer and other illnesses.
Reefer breaks some ppl, gives them psychosis, can fuck your mind up, give you an early onstet of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.

Depersonalization, panic attacks, apathy, demotivation, these things can really impact someone's life and they can be side effets of reefer.

Not to mention that a dip mental clarity, loss of clear thinking and reaction speed causes people to have accidents. But then again, they shouldn't smoke if they have responsibilities.

Weed definitely fucked a lot of people up. My guess is that you like to get high so you point at something else to mark as the devil.

But what it comes down to is people. Society is not responsible enough, and plastering our hurt or stressed brains with external chemicals wether that be synthetic or organic is not the way forward in the long run.

The enemy is you, it's your mind, everyone's minds. There is no enemy, just bad choices and risky actions.

A gateway drug that makes unmotivated people not know how to get up from the couch. Huh? The only motivation is to move on to to more fun stuff like heroin, coke, or crystal meth. A complete waste of time in the eternal scheme of things. Find God or let God find you and repent and get real meaning in life 🙏. Jesus is real. Weed. Is. A. Waste. Of. Time.

@@oneoflokis all drugs should be legalised. That would take away the profit, murder, violence, etc endemic in the drugs trade. That said all substances ingested into the body are harmful in some respect. Ask your liver. It has to stop what it's doing to remove the crap from the bloodstream. Prohibited drugs in the UK are those used in medicine.Generally available on prescription that are issued to stop the misuse. Laws were introduced to control opiates and marijana. Like prohibition in the US on alcohol it was a failure. They should be freely available to all who require them. The stronger the better. Any resultent addiction,psychological or physical problems the responsibility of the consumer. At least it would be a quick death.

I was sentenced to 10 years federal prison time for growing marijuana in my garage at home. I had never been to jail. The DEA took all the valuables cars trucks motorcycles tools and equipment/everything. Then the looters came and took what was left. My home became a dump site it cost $10,000 in dump fees to clean up the trash. I served my sentence in prison/terminal island federal corrections. Prison will change you. Locked in a 10x10 cell will make you crazy as shit. My bunky was a bank robber 17 banks, I came out a jacked convict/animal. Im 64 now and still bench 300 lbs 10 times. I knew the penalty and did the crime anyway. The people in my neighborhood are afraid of me treat me like I am a gangster. I don't blame them. I see myself in the mirror and I look hard as a coffin nail. I still have a kind heart and I don't blame law enforcement.

@@timothymcintosh2932 Man, that breaks my heart. What a horrible, completely undeserved experience and detour in your life. You are an amazing person to have gone through all that and not have become embittered, and you certainly have my respect. I used to work in a state court system, and several of our judges advanced an alternative to incarceration on drug charges. It was considered unthinkable, controversial and was angrily challenged by many members of the public, but was supported by our police and DA's and these compassionate and great judges. It soon became obvious that it was working, and remains hugely successful today. I know it's not much solace in your case, but our Judges saw the disruption and destruction that incarceration on non-violent drug charges did to the convicts, and their families, and particularly how it messed up their kids lives. I frequently attended these regularly scheduled and very celebratory events, wherein we would have perhaps 50-60 people that had been arrested and convicted but were placed into this program instead of jail, and also with their family members in the audience. The would-have-been inmates were invited to this event at the time when they had completed one year of sobriety, A judge would introduce each one of them, and ask each to separately come up to the podium and address the crowd about their experience, and then show their one year old mugshot and a days old picture of themselves on a large monitor. The results were almost always dramatic and emotionally evocative, and sometimes absolutely shocking. Even the judges often shed tears of joy. Then everyone there would line up for a a generous serving of several huge birthday cakes, ice cream and a beverage. At that point all their charges had been dropped and their records cleared.
If nothing else, the experience that you and many others endured, demonstrated the very real need for compassion, understanding and an evolution of the justice system, and that has led us now to a proven approach that truly works, which has since spread across many US states. Thank you for your sacrifice that helped shed light on the unjust system we had before all this, and all the since never-convicted, their significant others and their kids whose lives are now valued and have been undisturbed as a result. You and the others like you are their unsung heroes. Take care, my friend

I'm 35, almost everyone I've met in my life, who uses/used weed for years, has very noticeable side effects! The addiction part is undeniable. Rather than spending their money on important things, they buy weed, even if they are really poor. They also seem to constantly forget things. They have a cocky attitude and claim to know it all. Most things they talk about are not very smart. They never achieve goals they set up or are slow at doing so. They become extremely offensive if u show medical journals proving weed is bad for ur brain, then they proceed to make false scientific claims without any proof to back them up.
And now my own gf is hooked too. Says things like "I will slow down/ or quit" but just like a smoker or an alcoholic, she does neither.

As a nurse who takes care of people who do all types of drugs, I can attest that alcohol is the worst. When people withdraw from it, it's violent, deadly and usually requires critical care.

No, no, no.
William Randolph Hearst saw hemp as a threat to his paper and lumber empire in the early 1900's. So he used his newspapers to spread misinformation about marijuana which led to the first laws prohibiting it.

The first laws regulating weed were tax laws. You couldn't possess it without a tax stamp. But then you'd get busted at the tax office because you brought your weed to the tax office without a tax stamp.

More and more people forget things, they sure do, I am 71 and I've noticed it very much. And people usually don't start using something that is much stronger than pot, they use pot and then try something else. Pot after so many years for many results in people losing their drive and losing their edge. Sure it can help with some pain and for kids having seizure, but it also is something that allows a person to be satisfied with low ambition, I have observed this since the 1970's.

The story about the issue of making marijuana illegal as told to me by a college professor who taught a course about drug use and marijuana was that Mexicans were bringing marijuana into the states and they and Americans were using it in lieu of alcohol. About 1935, Liquor store owners were incensed over this development and mounted a campaign to pressure politicians to pass laws to make marijuana illegal. Politicians liked this idea because liquor sales were easily taxable. I could write another big paragraph describing the terrible consequences to the public and judicial systems from enforcing those marijuana laws.

Prohibition doesn’t work, whether it’s alcohol or cocaine that’s the substance in question. Ask any ex-drug trafficker & they’ll tell you that the responsible thing for all governments to do is to legalise, manufacture & heavily tax all recreational drugs. It would bring in an enormous amount of revenue for all countries & cut out the criminal element associated with drugs. Almost ALL organised crime is related to drug trafficking these days. Giving people what they want ie recreational drugs whilst slashing the crime associated with it is common sense. One day our governments will see this, as the revenue is not in the multimillions per annum, it’s multibillions per annum, depending upon the country in question. But as things stand, recreational use of all drugs here in the Uk is prohibited except for alcohol & tobacco. I’ve never known anyone die directly from using any illegal recreational drug other than heroin. Alcohol & tobacco kills millions every year, but that’s ok because ‘the law’ allows the use of these substances.

Now I'm not saying there isn't some people who don't have addictive personalities and will get addicted to anything the overuse, like smartphones and social media etc. Look at TikTok users but anyone suggesting cannabis is chemically addictive flat out lying or misinformed. In fact, I recently stopped for 3 weeks because I had a bad cold, no side effects at all. Oh and one other thing, not everyone buys weed, some of us grow it where it's legal and everyone I know could afford to buy it if it weren't legal to grow. Speaking of "cocky" and "claim to know it all" What are you doing?

As someone who started smoking marijuana at 15 and I am now 59 I got to say all of this is irrelevant to me. I don't care if they make it legal or illegal I'm going to be doing the same thing I've been doing since I was 15. I guess I should point out the fact that I've never been caught with so much as a roach. That's right folks 45 years of smoking marijuana whenever the hell I want and no cop has ever arrested me. I don't drive around with it in my car I don't walk around outside with it in my pocket. I don't hang out with broke people that can't afford weed so when I go to their house all of my friends have it. Only idiots get caught with marijuana.

Some people struggle with common sense. That's one of the reasons the jails are so full. Not only have I never been arrested for marijuana but I've also never had a DUI in my 59 years of life. I used to drink like a fish. I just never did something as stupid as getting behind the wheel of a car after I drank. This is simple. Everyone just needs to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. If you want to walk around with marijuana because you're so addicted that you can't stand being without it... I think the Rolling Stones said it best... You Can't Always Get What You want but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need. Basic folks. God can't help stupid.

Most everything vice wise is not actually great for your body (i.e. smoking, drinking, skydiving etc.). Cannabis at least has the benefit of having SOME medicinal uses (anxiety, ptsd, hunger stimulant for cancer patients, nausea, etc.). Also, not sure your social circles, but damn near all my friends use cannabis to some degree and in some form. One is currently a doctor, another runs a very successful restaurant, I am currently in school after leaving a well paying job albeit very stressful. Cannabis is not the issue, it is the personality of the person who is using it. Lazy person? They will be lazy with cannabis as well. Addictive personality? Addicted with cannabis as well (although I'd be grateful they weren't introduced into heroin, meth, or coke). Personally I get quite a lot accomplished after a good smoke session. For instance skirting on my house and metal roof last year. Drainage in my driveway, crusher run after the drainage was finished. IF your motivated your motivated and if your prerogative is to sit inside all day and be lazy (speaking to all the people you know) cannabis isn't going to fix that. So should your girlfriend back off a bit? Probably. Ideally we should all be on the straight and narrow, but life is messy and stressful.

Marijuana rub is wonderful for arthritis pain. Give it a couple of days to kick into effect. This is made not from the bud, but from the leaves, which you could smoke, but it is harsh, so why not use it for something practical and pain relieving? You can turn the sticks into a spray, which also relieves pain, if you don`t put them into your compost or wood stove., you ay as well do something helpful with them. Most of us have waited 50 years for the legality of marijuana. It`s about time. Some of us don`t even smoke the stuff anymore, we just rub it on our aches and pains.

I haven't smoked in many years, but believe it acts as a preventative for many who do, yet remain ignorant of it's medical benefits and I'd sooner see it legalised above alcohol among young men, as it would lead to a drop in prison populations for possession, but, more importantly, less crimes of violence.
