Why though? Why do you object to people using it for recreational purpose that could turn into addiction? It's absolutely none of your business and it doesn't affect you one bit. Smoking is used for that purpose, you're not complaining. Yet, it does more damage than ANY illegal drug. Fact.
Yes, people WILL use drugs irresponsibly, so they'll suffer for it. But that goes for anything, not just drugs. People are always gonna be irresponsible with many things, it doesn't make those things wrong just because the people are irresponsible. No, weed isn't dangerous. Nor are Mushrooms, nor are many drugs. You're either going by what you read, hear or see, or you're just extremely naive. There are very dangerous drugs but weed is not one of them and for you to claim it's bullshit to say getting high is ok, is bullshit itself.

Exactly. Weed doesn't even damage the person smoking it, it's second hand smoke is next to nothing. You are quite uninformed.

A) I don't.
B) So are mine, well whoopty do.
Tell me your facts then. Come on, I'm sure they'll be a fascinating read. Because I've actually gave you fact and the only reason you can come up with to go against it is "Because it can become addiction." Which has f*ck all to do with you anyway.
So by all means throw out some facts that show us why all drugs are absolutely terrifyingly dangerous and should never ever be used. Because I've got facts and experience, personal and otherwise, to prove you wrong.
You've got, "Because it becomes addiction."
Yeah, surely a concrete debate.

The "harmful" side is barely harmful. It's so incredibly minute. Proof? Again, Pot has never ever killed. Ever. It HAS, however, proven to have great qualities. You obviously think you can convince people not to use weed based on wish washy claims of harm.

As for recomending hallucinigans i can't belive you have the gaul to do that, if weed has the potential to cause people problems mushrooms has infinite more of a chance. You are playing russian roulette with drugs like that, and you are recomeninding them?
And you base the information in the above quote, on? On what? What are you basing it on? Because I can speak from the perspective of someone who's used them. It's one of the most mind expanding experiences you can achieve. It makes you realise and see many things that the human brain isn't otherwise capable of seeing. I'm no addict, I'm not damaged and my life is fine.
So show me proof that Mushrooms have 'infinite' more chance to do harm than weed. I'm sure it'll be good. Or dumb. One of the two.

Earler when i asked if you smoked too much pot i was asking that because i thought i was picking up some drug damage from you, no offense. And i am sorry if i was asking it in a insulting manor. Now your telling me you do mushrooms!!! Mushrooms is infinatley more harmfull to your brain than weed!!!!!!!!!! I am glad you have a great sense of well being and health, there are people that had head injuries that have a great sense of well being and health as well but i am not going to go and run out damage my head, no thanks.
Weed doesn't even cause harm. What are you not getting about this? Why are you not picking this up? The "harm" side (if you can call it that) is SO incredibly minute that it's actually harmless. WEED doesn't cause those effects, the method in which you USE the weed does. Smoking. If you put weed in a cake, you're not gonna get those harmful effects because you're not taking smoke into your lungs. The fact that it's weed smoke makes no difference, it's the procedure, not the substance.
How are Mushrooms infinitely more harmful? Ever taken them? Or are you going by guess games again? Because you're wrong, by a long long long way. Just because someone takes something and gets a bad end of it, doesn't mean the drug is bad. I could get in a car and drive it into a wall, it doesn't mean driving is bad, it just means I had a bad experience. There's a difference and you fail to recognise it in your pitiful crusade of shouting out speculatory comments.
