How bad can it be?

So in a thread I read this morning one of our GC patrons mentioned that his doctor told him that smoking weed ruins his focus on life and damages his lungs and blah blah blah, and that shit pisses me off. Why? Because there are a LOT WORSE THINGS in this world man. Before I started smoking weed, you know what I did? I graduated high school, got into World of Warcraft, and became addicted to it for over two years. I played on average 10-15 hours a day man. Seven days a week. I dropped out of college, I literally stopped all communication with friends from high school. Just to throw on to the pile of degradation, it also reduced my lung capacity because of sitting motionless for hours on end. Talk about focus on life, all the idiots in the world are so worried about a plant that grows in the ground? People think that weed is addicting? I'm sorry but none of the tokers I know have yet to drop out of college (I mean not drop classes, full on bail halfway through the first semester), none of them spend 10-15 hours a day focused solely on getting high, and none of them have quit their jobs, stopped talking to friends, or anything like that.

When I was introduced to weed as a lifestyle it was just the beginning of this year, and I have never felt the same cravings when I'm dry as I did when I wasn't playing WoW. I in fact made more friends, and I am doing better in school now than I ever did. I enjoy class, I have a job, I enjoy social interaction, I enjoy life now. Every day in my life now is an inspiration, I am always motivated to pursue life to the fullest, I don't want to just settle for the next feel good. I'm not saying weed is the only/main reason behind it, but it certainly has done more good than bad.

So if we're looking at terms such as addiction, health problems, an lifestyle, a goddamn videogame has more narcotic symptoms that weed.
Until a couple important friends in my life literally pulled me out of my room, I had what I considered no life. No future. Now I have a bigger future than I ever planned on having, and that good ol' herb isn't leaving my side anytime soon.

"TL;DR" In my opinion, videogames are more dangerous to your health than weed. People are more dangerous than weed. Asymmetric information produced by the government and media is more dangerous. The next person who tells me weed is bad will suffer the biggest earful of facts I've memorized and experienced, as well as my entire length of opinion on the matter. Falsified, asymmetric information on weed is my enemy, and I will go great lengths to destroy every strand of bullshit propaganda until America, and the world, realizes that this plant was put on the world the same time we were, and neither of us are going away anytime soon.

If you survived this long into the post tell me your thoughts about anything, even if it's about how long this post is : P Yeah man.
