It'll be legal in Canada next year, and I plan to smoke up. Seems like it would be great for anxiety and winding down.
How would you know if you never tried though?
I haven't tried it either, I also rejected cigarettes quite often from people in the past(smoking is common nature along with getting drunk on the weekends where I live). Other than cigarettes that don't have these crazy side effects I am a bit curious about Cannabis. However I lack sources from where I could get cannabis from but if someone would offer me some I'd probably try it out of curiosity.
I suppose, and I can't fault people if it is a cultural thing (even though the science doesn't back it up, meaning they are wrong). I get not liking weed, I just don't know why people would be so strongly opinionated about something they won't try.
No, but it's not rare for people to smoke up and beat a couple bags of chips though.Yeah, the amount of Reefer Madness fearmongering surprises me. People need to examine what has been normalized for them by culture, such as alcohol (which can kill you quickly overnight, or slowly through liver failure) and cigarettes, the only vice that can harm people who don't even consume it directly.
To borrow a phrase from legalization activists, you never hear the story of a guy who smokes too much weed, then goes home and beats his wife.
yuh. just picked up last night!
we had scout cookie just a couple weeks ago <3
it's like we're family now
It's not a catch all for anxiety, but I hope it helps you. It may also cause nausea. I once thought it was a wonder drug, but it isn't. Having said that, it is far less harmful than alcohol and should not be illegal. It should still be somewhat regulated by age so minors do not have access though.It'll be legal in Canada next year, and I plan to smoke up. Seems like it would be great for anxiety and winding down.
Haha, this mentality from boomers primarily is the reason why it's illegal and there is so much drug crime. Marijuana is way less physically addictive and harmful compared to alcohol.
Besides any gateway aspect is because black market dealers have drugs like heroine. If weed is sold at Walgreens that option is removed.
Actually it's been my experience heroin is usually pushed by addicts onto people they know because more addicts means more people to provide money so everyone gets their fix. It's why addicts usually come in groups.
I think you got me wrong. I was replying to the gateway thing bolstering your point that the gate way thing is bunk.Weed users are far less addicted to weed than alcoholics are to alcohol. So by your statement are drinkers peddling heroin?
I smoked a lot in college. I drank a lot too.
I gave up smoking entirely and nearly all drinking (I still have a glass of wine maybe once every two weeks). It messed way too much with my productivity. I mean, I can still entirely function high (or even a little drunk for that matter) but... I know I'm definitely not at even close to 100%. And that's a lot of the problem I have with the people I still know who smoke. They always bring up the 'harmless drug' rhetoric but I've known all of them completely sober and they're way faster, sharper, more energetic, etc. when they aren't high half the day. And I've yet to meet this average weed smoker who only does it on the weekends to relax sometimes. Everyone I know who smokes does so almost every single day. It just seems like a waste, of both time and money.
I love it. But give me tips to stop eating so much every time.
If pot were to displace alcohol it's not a stretch to say that it could save tens of thousands of lives.Moral reasons. Not even because of my religious beliefs, I was just raised and grew up under programs like D.A.R.E and such. Even though it's been a decade, and I'm an adult and I know the benefits of marijuana, both in a personal sense and financial sense for the country, I still cannot bring myself to like it.
I have friends who smoke, and I don't care enough to care if they do it or not, but I won't partake in it and I'll leave whenever they start smoking.
I recently took a trip to downtown San Francisco last week, and it was my first time smelling marijuana and it just... made me irrationally sad. The smell was repulsive, and the fact that it's so socially acceptable to smoke in the city in front of hundreds, and people will join in and act like it's no big deal, just really made me upset.
I'll just say no matter how beneficial legalizing it nationwide would be, I'm so happy that Utah is a "dinosaur" and people are frowned upon for doing it, and doing it, although very common here, isn't the norm and isn't widely accepted.
TL:DR, if you smoke, I don't care. Live your life and do what you want, it's not unhealthy and if it makes you happy, you do you. I will look down on you for it, and don't want it legalized. As irrational as it sounds, I don't like pot, don't want it to be "normalized" like Alcohol is.
Fuuuuuuck this is me. I need to figure out how to not eat or i'm gonna have to stop smoking
Also to everyone in the thread saying pot makes people lazy: yes and no. If you're a lazy boy on your own, weed isn't gonna help. If you're active and creative and all that jazz, it can help.
Weed doesn't make losers, it highlights them.
No. I only tried once and it didn't do anything. Better just to live life without extra stuff in it.
I hope you subsist on a sludge that provides all daily requirements and sit in an empty room all day, otherwise you're being hypocritical
