Weed

[Glen Coco]

bob marley smoked weed and he was really successful

give me proof that it's not true

give me proof that it is true.

there are SO many factors that comes into the equation when it comes to individuals managing a legal/illegal lifestyle. just assuming that that taking weed affects the family and society is preposterous. individuals manage their drug-use extremely differently depending upon their social/economic standings, health/mental status, how frequent the said drug is being used, what drug, whether it's light or heavy usage, etc. so you can't just say that the said individuals family and country would suffer when it comes to basic weed consumption (lmao).

read nigel south's "managing work, hedonism and 'the borderline'" in addiction research and theory which basically expands everything i just said. had to do a presentation based upon it last month it's all so very true.

i gave u my proof and basically, you're talking about addiction. yes it depends on different factors but that doesn't mean it won't affect family and country. you are risking your health when someone smokes near you. and i'll check that out.

i suppose i worded/constructed my previous post poorly (which i apologise for and now slightly backtracking lmao). i kinda see what you mean by taking weed (and any other drug for that matter) can affect the family and society, but the extent to which you argue is preposterous (if that makes more sense). you seem to argue that weed = the failure of the family unit and society as we know it - when that isn't the case. as i initially said, individuals handle drug-use differently depending upon various factors (that i mentioned in the previous post). because of those factors, you can't just assume that smoking weed is detrimental to the family and society (because those who dabble in drugs aren't identical).

nevertheless, in your edit, you mentioned something about china. the majority of the population don't smoke weed, so i still don't get how you believe it will be the downfall. most use it recreationally and in their spare time. the effects of alcohol can be just as bad (and even worse) than recreational weed use, but nevertheless - what individuals do in their spare them is up to them, and whatever consequences arise from their actions is essentially their doing - and it's frankly impossible to completely ban something in our society when everything (legal or illegal) is so readily available and everyone will always find a way of getting what they want.

but anyway kinda rambled on and should be writing paragraphs for my portfolio (which ironically is partly on drug-use) and not this, so yeah.

[FlyingJesus]

it is no different to someone being dependent on alcohol.

Very different actually, alcohol is far FAR more destructive in just about every way

i gave u my proof

What where

that's why I said we shouldn't smoke weed/drugs and they should be controlled substances because if they abused, consequences which I mentioned earlier will arise.

The majority of the population smoked opium or whatev a century ago and that was how british could use opium as a weapon to cause war. The whole country collapsed. However, weed/drugs are controlled substances now at china. So, the country's steadily climbing back up.

have fun with ya portfolio btw

What where

I'm not too bothered about it. I see it all the time but I'm never involved. People are free to do as they wish in this day and age.

oh effect wise, of course. i worded it poorly cuz it's like 3am haha. i was simply stating that you have no one else to blame for the addiction but YOU. should alcohol be banned because people become alcoholics? no. marijuana is no different. you can't blame marijuana for "society's deterioration" or whatever that chick said.

that's why I said we shouldn't smoke weed/drugs and they should be controlled substances because if they abused, consequences which I mentioned earlier will arise.

a controlled substance like alcohol? i'm not sure what you're getting at. marijuana is illegal and i can still get it from atleast 10 different people whenever i want. do you want it to be distributed by the government? o.O

imo the only time when weed and other drugs will be legalised is when all these no nothing old government **** are dead
