Second of all, weed is a depressant, same as alcohol so it slows the brain down. The "mellow" effect is basically akin to being somewhat drunk so what do you think is going to happen of somebody high on weed tries to do something that requires precision and concentration like driving? Look, all I'm saying is a drug is a drug. Drugs by definition will have some sort of unnatural effect on the body and mind and that unnatural effect can easily disrupt what is natural. |

That was the original reason I turned down anti-depressants though, I suppose after being told I had it my mind fabricated it. So yeah. Quote:
I have stated that I don't believe in smoking and driving though, so I'll agree with the rest of your post. |

But I know around ten people who have been smoking daily for like 50 years and haven't accumulated any health problems as a result of it. Quote:
Maybe YOU shouldn't drive. |
That's borderline impossible.
Smoking anything will definitely have negative effects on your lungs. |

Distorted, while your passion for marijuana is appreciated, I think you're speaking with your heart instead of your brain. If marijuana was such a good thing, it would've been legalized by now, no? Please stop trying to convince us that marijuana causes no mental or physical health problems and doesn't lead to things like depression, car crashes, or lung cancer, because it does.
And also, really with the suicide joke? You can't expect for people to take you seriously in a discussion if you are talking like a middle schooler. Please try and listen to people's opinions rather than just trying to convince them that you are completely right and that they are completely wrong. |
Didn't say it would necessarily cause cancer but the effects of bad lung health will definitely be there.
Not every cigarette smoker gets cancer but the chances are there. |

Not sure which joke you're referring to. |

"Is marijuana addictive? Contrary to common belief, marijuana can be addictive. Research suggests that about 1 in 11 users becomes addicted to marijuana (Anthony, 1994; Lopez-Quintero 2011).This number increases among those who start as teens (to about 17 percent, or 1 in 6) (Anthony, 2006) and among people who use marijuana daily (to 25-50 percent) (Hall & Pacula, 2003)." Why didn't you reply to this :( Also, he is referring to your "I wouldn't intentionally hurt myself" "Apparently it's in your genes' |

Explain that. Quote:
Like we discussed above though, it's not a physical dependence. People enjoy it so much they become dependent on it, something that can be avoided by simply not doing it if you don't want to consistently continue it. |

You may not see it, you may not feel it but its there. Those who start smoking don't immediately feel the effects and even after some time they may get used to it and not even notice. |
Quote:
I'm guessing the reason cigarette smoke is different is because of all the chemicals. Might be wrong, but I don't think weed smoke causes lung damage. |

Also my doctor actually prescribed it to me. Quote:

I do believe the effects take longer to develop since people who smoke weed don't smoke it as much or as consistently as people who smoke cigarettes do.

Just know nothing has "no negative effects". If there was do you think weed would even be illegal to begin with? |
Chong is 77 years old and has been smoking his entire life.
Also has lived a full life. Please explain his huge medical problems to me. |

There is evidence that depression is not only genetic, but an evolutionary phenomena as well, hence why it occurs roughly at the same age for younger individuals, but recurring for some, simply because genes aren't exactly perfect, when considering epigenetics, etc. The best way to deal with depression isn't to inhale chemicals to somehow "compensate" for the chemical imbalance associated with depression by providing a temporary satisfaction, and the same goes for antidepressants. If it is in fact evolutionary, therefore genetic, then it's a phenomena that has likely been going for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, most likely when religion started playing a role in understanding of the universe (probably around 30-40 thousand years ago), also when neanderthals and our own species were in conflict, or the novel theory that we were banging each other resulting in our own dna being scarred with a bit of neanderthal dna. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is typically thought of as physical, but could it perhaps be a mental process as well? It would be an evolutionary advantage to not only understand how the universe works (depression is associated with the need to understand and results in some sort of acceptance), but to also survive, if you will, the state of being depressed. In conclusion, the best way to "treat" depression would be to receive communicative help, but I'm not a social psychologist or neurologist, and I don't think you are either. Then again, this is a philosophical discussion, after all. |

I know your counterargument: "that's my point, they prescribe what has been proven to work." Is that why they prescribe a highly addictive methamphetamine to ADHD patients? |
Something that needs to be addressed more directly is the weed itself. Weed is a mental drug, it affects every person differently. And, weed is group into three categories, sativa (makes you more alert and possibly more focused, for example Chemdawg and Haze), indica (relaxes your body, basically a depressant, such as Grandaddy Purp and Northern Lights), and Hybrid (basically in between the other two but can lean to one side more, you're not full of energy but you're not tired either, an example is O.G. Kush). Now within those 3 gruops, all of those strains will have a different effect on you, even if they're in the same groups because the vary in strength. With that being said, and thr fact that its a psychological drug, which affects you mentally, physically, and emotionally, some people can handle a certain strain while others can't. All that needs to be taken into consideration when legalizing it, for example, driving while high usually isn't a good idea, but if you get high off a strain you haven't done before then try to drive, you're taking a major risk. When I used to smoke, I made that mistake one time, and as someone who only smoked sativa and hybrid strains (i don't like indica) and only smoked the best kush (I considered myself a cannibus connoisseur), Haze kicked my butt, made me really disoriented and I still had to drive home, made it back safely tho. But, with all that being said, I haven't even mentioned what someone would use to get high; joints, blunts, pipes, bongs, edibles, vapes all will change how the strain you have affects you. I'm for legalization, but i think having a license for it is a considerable option.
