lmfao omg your mindset it hilarious

not everything is black and white

What's wrong with thinking people don't need to be smoking crap that isn't oxygen? I'm not saying they can't smoke, I'm just saying it shouldn't be encouraged. Yes there are people out there that can smoke weed and be perfectly fine, make good grades, not get into heavier drugs... but like i said, it doesn't mean it's a good thing. It's still smoke, it's still probably bad for your teeth and lungs, people would still be better off without it. Yeah it's fun and makes you momentarily happy. Woop-dee-doo so do a lot of other things that won't potentially screw you up.

If you're someone that gets along great with only weed, congrats. But don't go around talking like there are 0 downsides and like it's the best thing on the planet. It's still a bad habit to get into nonetheless.

pretty much the reason why i stopped smoking. Only few hours of happiness and then back to normal. I use to just waste my tip money on weed. Now I've saved over a thousand dollars being off it. woot woot  

The only that I smoke is life cause it is literally also slowing killing me

And candy and junk food and plenty of other stuff are bad for your health, should we get rid of those too? It's our life, we should be able to do what WE want involving our own health

Both of you make some pretty good points.

Basically the rules are simple, do whatever you want but show restraint.

Too much of anything is bad and that's the truth.  

smok wed everyday xd

When did Coco say she wanted to get rid of marijuana? She's just saying it's ignorant to pretend it isn't harmful to your health.

Do whatever you want to yourself, it's not my body. Never said to get rid of it, just don't encourage it and act like it's good for you.  

Second hand smoke tho

Nobody told anyone to quit, we are all just dicussing REAL concerns and possible health issues.

This discussion is not about you personally Nanner or other weed smokers so stop treating it that way, we are pointing out the negatives that can come with legalizing it in a general sense. There are real health and mental issues as well as some others that can come with legalizing it and you need to stop acting like just because it is good for you then it will be good for everyone.

If someone is doing something harmful to their health then the "its my life let me worry about my health" argument is voided, we as a society should not just let people harm them selves mentally/physcially we should be preventing it and helping them.  

I never said or implied weed was the best thing in the world. I can totally respect someone's decision to not smoke it. And Colin your argument of preventing society from harming themselves mentally and physically is voided since cigarettes and alcohol are a thing..  

What I meant by that was, yes, they are free to use whatever substance they want whether it be smoking or drinking because it is their life and smoking, getting high, and drinking can be done with no harmful short-term affects if done in moderation and if that person can react to it well.

But, if somebody is addicted to these things or their body can not handle it physically/mentally and it is causing them noticeable problems then we should not let them try to say it's ok because it's their health and their life because if we don't help them they wont help them selves.

I brought this point up not as a means that we shouldn't legalize it but to what Nanner said about how it is their health and we shouldn't care how they choose to treat it.

I didn't say it was an irrational decision.

Then the correlation you mentioned between unintelligent people and smoking is a mere coincidence? I don't understand what your point is with that.

:thumbup:

Some people say it's natural selection, those people say it's good for the rest of us, like how those people say gay marriage is natural selection as they can never reproduce, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't prevent or discourage the use of marijuana.

Oh you wanna smoke weed? Okay go ahead, but you should know the adverse effect of using it. Oh you're going to rob a bank? Go ahead, and don't get caught, but you should know what is going to happen if you're caught. That's discouraging, but how about preventing it? Nothing can prevent it, saying the law prohibits it won't stop people from it, it'll only discourage them, people just don't care
