people are always gonna do what they want...thats fine as long as they don't hurt others and people provide them the oppurtunity to know the risks i am happy with free choice 😄
It's funny cause in health class we are studying why pot is the worst thing in the world, and my teacher talks about how it makes people lazy and all these weak arguments, and then she says she's never even seen it in person.
I guess they're pretty much forced to tell us that weed is bad cause they're the school and everything, but sometimes I wonder if even they believe what they are telling us. I mean she didn't list any real medical reasons not to smoke, it was all subjective.
Anyway, I definitely don't think her lecture will change anyone's choice to smoke or not, and if it does then they are pretty easily persuaded.

thats why i wish it was made legal in some ways afro, that way the risks could be made clear right on the package.

yea but at least then they don't have an excuse. Now people can say oh pot is fine yata yata yata, but if its made legal they have to put the warnings of everything that could potentailly go wrong. Plus the weed can be controlled so it not tampered or laced with stuff by drug dealers and other such issues that comes with an illegal drug. Also the extreme high amounts of THC they put in weed now, its NOT a natural drug anymore, its as much as a lab experiment as anything else. If legalized they could put regulations on that and also at the same time when selling the product state the health warnings in big fat red ink so people can't ignore the potential risk. I think people are funny like that, if you see it in writing suddenly it comes true
People grow their own pure weed, MJ. There is no dealer in that case.
Stop clinging to threads. You're wrong.
You are chasing the small and invalid point that the risks need to be advertised. Ok, so they get advertised, what then? What are you hoping to achieve by trying to argue with us? Pot's negative effects are barely worth noting. We all know they are there, but they're nothing.

Stop making it personal and tellin' him to shut up, he's made his point, you've made yours, and that's all that needs to be said.
He hasn't said something beyond stupid like some posters do and he hasn't attacked anyone so take it easy. Take the enlightened high road that you so often try to abide by.

We don't put you on it, you do that yourself, and if you can't figure out that telling an idividual to shut up is not personal, then you are either playing the fool, or so self centered that it would be useless to try and explain.
A) No, no I don't. I've said many times that I don't and you INSIST that I do. So either you want to, just to have something to say, or you're imagining things. So now I have admitted yet again, that I do not, you can stop referring to it and we can move on.
B) Shut up is a blunt way of saying be quiet. It's not personal, I'm not attacking the man's mother.
Chill out man. Every time you try to make something that isn't there. Just relax.
Let it go.

actually, 'shut up' is an insult.
'be quiet' is an insult
...depending on the circumstance
if you're in a theater and the movie is starting, it is necessary to ask them to be quiet, or if you have an important call and people in the room are talking loud and carrying on.
however, in a conversation, its very rude.
not a sarcastic "SHUUUUUT UUUUUUUP!!!!" as in "WOW"
but 'shut up' as in 'you have nothing useful to say so shut your mouth'.
we all do it, but at least acknowledge that its rude.
I think, browsing the past posts of MJ, my saying shut up is extremely polite given how he's acting.
You haven't told him to "stfu" recently then, I'm assuming?
I'm not about to derail this thread, I said what everyone has been wanting to say. Because the man has nothing useful to say. All he is doing is repeating the same thing page after page and abusing, needlessly and outright (you included) those who are even remotely pro-pot.
So no, on this occasion I don't believe it to be rude.
Now, if we can move on...
