Pot is not as safe as some people think!

Well, to slipknots benefit, Pot is often exaggerated upon. Of course no drug is good for you aside from Acid. Marijuana is so bad, because it is illegal. The physical and psychological effects Marijuana has on the body are less than that of alcohol. I'm not trying to say Pot should be anymore accepted than alcohol, but it shows you the rationale the system has. Just like alcohol, pot is Just as addictive to impressionable minds, but no more than alcohol. As for being a gateway drug...Bullshit, it is Just the most common and accessible.

Pot blocks receptors in your brain from receiving certain signals. The bad thing is, after you quit smoking pot, the effects usually don't fully set in, for a few months down the road, and can last a year.

If you were studying for a big test and you wanted to retain as much information as possible. Your life depends on this test. Now you have awile to study for this test to retain the information. Now, knowing full well your life may depend on this test, would you choose to smoke weed continually while studying for the test and while taking it

would anybody like to answer the question?

What does that question have to do with anything? Most of the people who use pot, use it recreationally (free time), not when they are doing important tasks that require focus. Just like every other recreational activity.

people who know nothing at all about pot love to play 'expert' and describe its 'deadly' effect, armed with all the misinformation drilled into their heads in ther junior high school d.a.r.e. meetings.

and moviejunkie, i never said it was GOOD for you. please, dont put words in my mouth. it helps nothing and proves nothing 😬

and explain to me why it is ignorant to state there are numerous studies that link mental illness to pot.

i was strait edge through high school and squeaked by with a 2.3 g.p.a.
in college i was stoned most of the time and graduated with a 3.4.

this is not bullshit.

my point? did pot help? i dont think at all. but it certainly didnt hurt. when it came time for exams i laid off the bong and hit the books. failure to prioritise is not a result of a weed, but of the irresponsability of the individual. you dont need pot for that.

What in the hell?

Why do you take weed and put it into a completely one sided hypothetical?

Of course I wouldn't. Because I don't smoke weed. Would I take a substance? No. Because while they are harmless and do great things for your mind, they are substances in which case you should just sit back and enjoy it. When doing work, I don't like to sit back and enjoy.

Pointless hypothetical.

It's like saying reading books are bad, would you read while driving?

well apparently many people here would love to say 'no' for us, as they crack open a budweiser and toast to the death of the 'devil weed'

ridiculous sounding....but the exact same logic that some of these people put into their arguements.

It's true though. It's like the above hypothetical.

Weed is bad, to prove it, I'll place it into a situation in which, if used, weed will look bad.

*takes shot of tequilla*

HOW DARE YOU DO DRUGS

*chugs from beer bong*

YOU'RE JUST GONNA END UP RETARDED!!!!!

*beats wife and kids*

YOU'RE JUST GONNA END UP RETARDED!!!!!

well, bush chose alcohol and cocaine...and behold the effects

do you gusy realise that there are allot of teenagers that read these posts. They will read what you have to say and say, see there is really no harm in smoking weed, just like what finti, AC, PVS and Backfire said. How do you know weed isn't going to be the first step for harder drugs for them. How do you know they may be one of the people to experience difficulties because of the drug. But remember they were told by people that pot was harmless, pot was a safe drug. And its obvios there are not a shortage of people that are saying it here. People should know the risks before they do something. You all are making seem as innocent as watching a movie. Its a mind altering drug that is very potent. I for instance suffered severe paranoia when i smoked, some people are like that. Now shoudn't people be aware of the risk of that happening. I have had friends addicted to weed as well so please say its not addicting, you think you should be condoning a drug that could land someone in jail and prevent proper brain growth and cause problems in life as OK?

yes, blame a plant. it embeds subliminal messages into an otherwise normal brain which say 'hey....why not have a bit of heroine? a line of coke perhaps?' what a load of horseshit.

Just because you don't have a problem with the drug doesn't mean other people have not. And saying that weed is fine because weed is FINE FOR YOU gives people the impression its fine period. Facts is it has been very harmfull for many people and it doesn't help much when people tell them before they started smoking how harmless it was

Does drinking alcohol lead to taking smack? Does smoking lead to popping X? No. Don't try that 'Taking one illegal drug leads to the rest' BS.

If there are any teens reading this, don't dive into drugs unprepared or unresearched. Be responsible or suffer for your actions, don't **** it up for everyone.

Take mushrooms.

You are telling me that it is not uncommon for most people that do harder drugs that they started off with weed? there are many people that needed something more potent after weed for awile so they moved on to something more potent. Its a gate way drug, don't play denial
