What is your view on cannabis?

[Soy]

Thing is with weed, is i have no problem with the health benefits of it (to a certain extent) and understand it alot more than the average joe who has never smoked it properly in his life.

I will tell you that how you react with weed is heavily based on your personality. I've seen alot of peoples lives completely change from smoking pot, for the good and the better. I don't believe it is a drug for everyone.. I've witnessed lots of people get addicted to it (including me at one point) and saying that is not addictive nor habbit forming is ignorant, i believe this certain outcome of the drug is subjective and conceptual.

That being said, i think because of the shift in view of the contemporary teenager that in the future i can almost garauntee the decriminalisation of the drug in the country and many others (its practically legal now in the US).

Health benefits wise, i'm still able to compete at university level rugby and i occasionally smoke it (maybe once a week/ every other week). At the point when i was smoking every day i personally felt a lot less happier in general life, but alot of people can be happy smoking pot, im not denying that. As for me, it's not the life i choose to live: Feelings of no ambition, depression and anxiety all felt a bit harsher when being a weed addict.


Just my two cents, tried to be non biased.

Im actually high right now. :afro:

The natural vs manmade argument I don't like because arsenic is natural and aluminium is manmade but I know which I'd rather line my baking tray with. That said I totally agree that banning certain compounds or chemical families only makes the situation worse - a pretty huge point here is mephedrone which had one reported death from someone who took it in a cocktail of other drugs (and therefore the death shouldn't be attributed to just the one chemical), and since its ban the "alternatives" and "new" versions of it have been catastrophically dangerous

say whaaaa

and did you really just compare 2 completely unrelated elements to 2 chemicals which act on the same receptor :L you could have atleast said something like you'd rather have a glass window instead of a bag of sand

[FlyingJesus]

The point was that natural products aren't necessarily better/safer than synthetics, not that arsenic and aluminium do the same job as obv they don't. Was more in response to Liam's post than yours where he said that all man-made chemicals should be banned

If we want to get deep here, about weed being natural.. the body is supposed to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon monoxide, with that being said breathing in high amounts of tar, thc, carbon monoxide and other compounds is relatively un-natural.

[CrazyColaist]

my point is its a living thing, it has its life and serves its purpose. There are carbon monoxide emissions in every car, so think twice when you complain about smoking giving off carbon, smoked or not its just as natural as coffee.

I've been told to try it nearly every day for the last couple of months, and didn't. It ruins people's lives.
If you wanna try it, go right ahead. I don't care.

Cannabis would be better legalized than many other things in the world... It can't even kill you, alcohol results in more deaths. It also isn't addictive (as far as I'm aware). If alcohol is legal, why not cannabis?

As far as I'm aware, the only effects are mental long-term effects if you take TOO MUCH.

I'm not saying it should be legal. But we have much more harmful things legalized, so why not marijuana? (THIS IS BASED OFF MY KNOWLEDGE, APOLOGIES IF WRONG.)

Well it's not physiologically addictive but there has been evidence to suggest that it's psychologically addictive, which I guess would make sense. Also I'm pretty sure most people mix their cannabis with tobacco otherwise it doesn't burn properly, so there's also nicotine addiction involved.

Would love to have this debate if the original post was worded half decently...

But personally I wouldn't smoke it, and I fail to see the need to legalise it (although anyone against any state intervention will obviously think otherwise.

Look at me! I'm DJ-Dominator and I think I'm better than everyone because I can spell properly!

Oh, don't worry - I am elitist. I believe strongly in social classes, and consider myself above many people (and below others). This is something I shall stand by, whatever a cute troll like yourself says
