Hon, your parents have been brainwashed! Amotivational syndrome was disproved way back in the 70's (when scientists were expected to find nothing but bad about cannabis). Here's a couple of oldies to show them. It is actually hard to find new studies about amotivational syndrome now because the scientists all know it's a myth and won't bother with useless research!

Well.. It makes those blacks and mexicans rape white women. So id personally stay away from the stuff.
ive never heard that, ive only ever heard of LSD and other psychedelics causing ego death, and ego death is literally to forget yourself. which isnnt necessarily a bad thing, when you forget yourself, you can embrace the world. I dont mean like you completely forget who you are forever, but during the trip, you lose your sense of self.
My mom spews the same shit. The worse part is her logic "if the government says its illegal its immoral, Therefore you just dont do it"
Read Carl Sagans "Mr X." Here he correctly points out how cannabis gives insights and higher perceptions that are otherwise not available through the indoctrination of our society...and a whole lot of other details related to the experience. A quote: "The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world." Smoking marijuana does not make you dumb, or a bad person.
Does it make you a bad person? No. Does it make you a good person? No. If somebody is a bad person then they are a bad person regardless of how much reefer they toke.
Absolutely. I use it so much I now have to inject a crude marijuana concoction. It seems my brain has been reprogrammed; I'm insane, a sadist, psychopath etc. All thanks to marijuana! I've been hospitalized 96 times. Sometimes having convulsions so extreme I broke the 6 point restraints. I have to take some serious drugs just to stay 'normal.' Also to stop withdrawals. If you use marijuana, you are a fucking monster. *In case you're mentally retarded, 12, or just stupid enough to believe everything you read on the internet; marijuana most likely will not cause any of the things mentioned above.
you should be condemned for a blasphemous action such as smoking marijuana; your body should be captured, depleated of any life, then be exposed in public for being the despicable stoner parasite you once were
Drugs are bad... you shouldnt do drugs. If you do them you're bad because drugs are bad mmkay. its a bad thing todo drugs so dont be bad by doin drugs mmkay cuz drugs are bad.....
