weeds not very addictive as far as drugs go. Nicotine and alcohol are both more addictive and weed helps people who are in withdrawal (from really harmful drugs) or people with chronic pain. Its definitely the safer dope of the two I know.

I know all that and I think it should be legalized for many reasons, I just don't like it when people think weed is all that good while it can also cause damages (not talking about health damage, haven't checked researches abt that since few years).
My point is that it has to be taken reasonably, like everything ofc, but with all that legalization movements people tend to worship some wizkhalifa stuff and end up fuking their studies or w/e you are supposed to do at a young age.
Everyone reacts differently to it, Ik some guy who used to smoke before going to the gym and it was almost acting like a preworkout for him (thing I would literally never do), but it tends to make you lazy in general. Being lazy is worse than smoking 15cig a day in my opinion (at least on a short term effect), especially when you consider the age when people begin to smoke/the importance this period plays on their future. If you add up the fact that when you are a teenager you tend to do everything in excess, smoking 7-8 joint a day most likely won't be a good thing to do.
Comparing to alcool, the impact it has on your life are I guess more obvious and less vicious than weed which would just make you chill all day long in your room.
nothing better than a good fire with some northern light + chill music tho :)

weed is not medically addictive, it will not make you have a dependency on it and you could live without it. However, people can become addicted mentally to the feeling it provides, and that can bring negativity into someone''s life in a similar way to my "addiction" to playing age of empires does, for example. I''m not saying this is a reason to not smoke, assuming it is legal, I am saying that just like other things there is a way to do it with care and some people may be better off without it.

Weed''s a drug that means you''re giving up long term growth for short term gain although even in the short term it makes you incompetent at everything that requires multitasking (like playing AoE). Seems to differ per person but I personally have incredible short term memory loss when high. It does make everything more fun though, which is why it''s a very long time ago that I last played AoE sober.

But the only real danger of weed is that it''s a gateway drug, especially in places where it''s not legal and access to it often means easier access to other drugs as well.
It also makes you dream less, which as a frequent lucid dreamer is my least favourite thing about it.

While an occasional smoke won't hurt you anymore than an occasional beer will, there are serious consequences to consider if you are a long-term weed user. Just like any other drug, moderation can be fun, but heavy use can ruin your life. The reason I don't use marijuana is the detrimental effect it has on your brain. Basically, after enough years of smoking it, you are reduced to a fat stupid slob with the brain capacity of an ape. As somebody who enjoys deep thought, I can think of nothing worse than becoming stupid because I chose to think of only the short-term effects of drug use.

However, as far as I am concerned, it is a matter of personal responsibility. If you know the consequences and choose to smoke it anyways, then fine. Just don't expect society to pick up the tab if you get sick from it.

I'm not sure if there is clinical proof that marijuana itself causes problem. If junkies mix shit in with it, it will of course be detrimental.

So coming from a person that smokes basically everyday, I'm totally for and against it. I mean with name of Kush Kush, I've got to be for it right? Yeah it's fun, but only if you can control it. I totally agree about the long term sacrifice for short term results, but weed hasn't turned me into brainless slob. It helps you out sometimes, especially during my school. I am an architecture major so I need new ideas all the time and if I come to a block in my project, usually a joint can help me rethink what I'm doing and get some creative results. Drawing, painting, and sculpting are all so fantastic when you're stoned. Bike rides too. The problem is you like the effect, you start combining it with other hobbies in life, and it just settles in.

Sure, I can live my life just fine without weed, I'm just not too grown up yet :) I'm only 20. So what if a little plant makes you forget? I'm human after all, I don't have much time here. I guess I would rather choose an active lifestyle with weed rather than binge watch Netflix or something cuz t.v and internet makes you stoopid too :) Except watching aoe of course

There are many other ways to chill out and get a better perspective than drug use' ways that do not require you to sacrifice cognitive function. If you an only have fun when you are stoned, you are having fun wrong.

I see what youre saying but youre making it a lot more serious sounding than it has to be. I am not having fun wrong dont worry. I like doing specific activities when Im stoned, and I know when I shouldnt be. Dont raise too much concern, Im doing just fine

I have a cousin that actually became mentally disabled due to weed usage. But its probably not that dangerous/unhealthy as people make you want to believe.

Agreed. But it is also not harmless, as some would like you to believe.
