Why are drugs bad? Is Marijuana killing me slowly? (whatever goes)

[AndrewBUD]

Marijuana might be killing me slowly but so is breathing the air in this shitty gas/chem producing town....


All drugs can be bad for your health but so can cheeseburgers and pancakes if you overdo it....




Marijuana can be used daily without ill affect if you live a healthy life, eating right and exercise.... People are uninformed....

[malevolent]

Anything can be bad if you overdo it.

[AndrewBUD]

Some opinions around here are based on total Anti drug propaganda.........


People should try the drug their bashing before crapping on it


I will say that Marijuana and Cocaine have milder side affect compared to prescription drugs like: Prosom, Viagra, Rogaine. <-- All these are 100% legal RX drugs should they not be 100% safe?




Rogaine turns men in to woman.........Yes use rogaine and you will grow boobies and hips ....

Anything can be bad if you overdo it.

Even chastity?

It's bad because they say so.
Most narcotics can fuck you up, new weed included,
but natural weed seems to have been a victim of pharmaceutical lobbying in the US back at the start of the 20th century.
And of course, if America does it, it most be right, so we all followed suit.

There is little evidence it causes serious health problems, though there is plenty evidence it srews with your head.
Cocaine on the other hand will mess you up in time, there's now escaping that.
It once was used in everything they could possibly put it in, Coca-cola was developed during prohibition if I remember right, seeing as he couldn't put alcohal in it he used cocaine instead and it took off. It was also Sherlock Holmes drug of choice, the later stories didn't mention it though after it was shown to cause serious psychosis. Now there's a Holmes story I'd like to read.

Weed makes me tired... That's my whole reason for smoking it.... I am a very light sleeper.... and I don't drink alcohol very often, stuff makes me feel sick....


Marijuana helps me get a good night sleep... My doctor prescribed me numerous different sleep aids... One made my mouth taste like I was sucking on pennies all night.... One made me a zombie 3 days at a time.... the other just did nothing...



Now I use pot daily and everything is great..... MUCH cheaper then the RX drugs..

I think so. Sexual abstinence is not natural and sex (with STD-free) partner(s) is healthy.

The US Surgeon General does not approve this message.

Yes, marijuana is killing you slowly.

I have no respect for alcoholics, tobacco smokers, or marijuana addicts, unless it is a medicinal use. This goes for people on other unnecessary drugs. I have negative respect for smokers of anything who do it in public and announce their fumes to every innocent person nearby. Smoke on your property and ensure no fumes reach others, and I won't complain (I'll still denounce you though).

I don't approve of restriction of drugs, but banning of public pollution is absolutely necessary.

[AndrewBUD]

Well.. I do agree with you in a way.... I use marijuana for medical reasons and get my marijuana from a 100% legal marijuana grow operation I replaced shitty sleep aids with weed... have been doing so for years


I do not smoke indoors, EVER....... I do not smoke near people unless their smoking with me..... Only smoke on my property, unless I go on a long ass bike ride where the whole point was to bike 100+km and chill with a doob for a few hours then bike back....

To say marijuana can be used everyday without ill effects is just foolish. I'm not here to say smoke or not, I'm strongly in belief of legalization and regulation but proper drug education first and foremost. Ill effects? Paranoia, anxiety, short term memory loss etc are all ill effects, temporary or otherwise. Putting smoke in your lungs is never good but can be mitigated by eating or vaporizing. Recent studies suggest smoking under 18 leaves lasting mental deficits. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/08/120827152039.htm

I'm not here to argue for against marijuana or drugs, and make a debate on positive vs negative effects, but if you choose to use them, use them responsibly and don't fool people into thinking it's perfect. Education is key, and I laugh at the thought of rogaine having more ill effects than cocaine.

[AndrewBUD]

Well.. I have not got paranoid from smoking a joint in 10 years... Umm short term memory what? I forget!




and yes... better regulation would be the way to go... Government are wasting tax payer money on imprisoning people for growing/using a plant....... but most hard drugs are plants... Opium and cocaine originate as plants

Do you also complain about barbecues? That creates magnitudes more pollution than a tobacco or pot smoker.

I complain about barbeques. I'm expected to cook meat on them. Bah! An anachronistic contraption fit for savages.

All those effects you listed are completely mental.  You don't get anxious because you smoke weed, you get anxious because you get anxious.  Only you can control the way you feel, not anyone else, not an inanimate object.

Weed doesn't damage your brain, it lets you use the other side of your brain and realize that everything you were taught is bullshit.

What I don't think is good is young people getting chronic before their physiology is fully developed.

Adult smoking whenever they feel like it; fine.

15 year old wake and baking = tard in the making.

[swissmate]

It shouldn't be illegal.

But I really think it causes an addiction for those who just want to smoke. Not a physical addiction, a mental.

Many of my friends now only want to smoke weed. They don't enjoy anymore hanging out without smoking weed. And that's sad.

[SysRun]

Do you know about your respiratory system? Stratified epithelial cells?

Smoking aint healthy dingus.

I doubt smoking marijuana once in a while trumps other western diseases though... so don't worry, you'll die of one of those metabolic syndrome complications instead of unhealthy lungs.

Yeah I agree with this... if Marijuana was regulated they could control it like Alcohol.... Kids should not be smoking weed 24/7 and at school....

Our city is full of pollution, it's a very humid smoggy area.... Sucks.... My plan is to move my family way up north Quebec (Chicoutimi) area in the near future.....

Concerning the illegal status on Marijuana i have read sometime ago it was in relation with the chem´/syntetics industry, have read the name dupond some time ago.

However, Marijuana compared to alcohol tells the whole story, i mean look at people who drink everyday and then look at somebody who smokes everyday...
I havent heared or read about a single person who suffered serious injuries because of marijuana - how much people are suffering because of extensive alcohol usage.
