My outlook on weed and why people ASSUME its bad.

  1. Spread the wealth then!
     
  2. weed promotes non-competiveness, and in a capitalist society like ours, being competive is very important.
     
  3. ok, swapsies then?
     
  4. wait man i'm confused... so like, is turkey a drug??... cause it makes me sleepy..
     
  5. Its the triptiphan(or whatever the fuck its called) in turkey that yes is a drug... Guess that long thinker back fired...

    I do not see marijuana as a drug and yes thats just me... And yes I know it is a drug but going through probation and substance abuse classes for this plant.. I will tell you that I do not agree that it should be classified as a drug because of it's "effects"

    Lets just say I see it as a mind expander and not withholder(for me of course).. Like I said I know it is a drug. But I don't feel it is.. Fuck I've been tryin to quite cigs since I started 3 months ago and Man I can't.. Alcohol no easier.. Bud, any time I need or want to quite(and I smoke medically and religiously) This is simple. Caffeine, opium, heroin, Ibprofin, little more addictive ya know and other problems associated of course.. I just feel it is gods gift of health. Sorry I just can't put a negative label on my lady Jane
     
  6. That is an intriguing point you make. I suppose the medicine of the future will have to be "proven" to decrease the likelihood of cancer by reducing a cell's ability to mutate. Perhaps DNA-based medicine? But I digress...
     
  7. Its a drug. But who says drugs are bad?

    Everyone takes drugs, period. . .

    Whehter it is OTC or perscription or "controlled substances." Cough Syrup is a drug. Aspirin. Coffee. And we have no problem with these types.

    Drug is an umbrella term, and when people automatically hear "drug", they think about their negative counter-parts, while over looking that they are positive drugs out there. I remember when grampa use to say drugs are bad, but I see him popping viagra pills. lmao
     
  8. because it really is harmful on your lungs and development if you start young.
    it makes people lazier and you cannot deny that.

    Well, you can say very similar things about tobacco and alcohol. So where does the perception come from that weed is especially bad at any age level?
     
  10. People stay away from weed because it's illegal. In grade school they told us that smoking a joing was like smoking X number of cigarrettes, and that we shouldn't smoke weed. They told us alcohol made everything fun, and though it could cause car accidents, it's ok to drink responsibly.

    Doesn't make much sense.
     
  11. 1. weed doesnt cause cancer they did a test and they proved that the likelyhood of cancer decreased of a user of marijuana compared to a non user wtf. (thats pretty much what the scientists said)

    and 2. its my belief that its not that marijuana is a drug or that it has the perception of being harmful. its my belief that society is against feeling good aka the "high" people are against the high. if it gets you high. it must be bad.

    i think its less about scientific evidence and propaganda and more about peoples morals. is it bad to feel good? seems backwards.
    but thats just my take on it.
