It's not about drugs, it's about moderation. If you're **** at moderating yourself or have an addictive personality, stay the hell away from drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.

Agreed.
If you aren't responsible enough to know when you may be taking things too far (AKA said examples Crono has listed), you must be pretty naive.

I don't consider weed a drug. It's a great thing for exploring oneself.
It's very hard to explain, but you just notice things about yourself you haven't before.
I learned that my roomate is much more assertive and ends conversations quicker than I do. I've learned that, at the time, I would always say "Just kidding" after everything I joked about (a lot), and learned to stop.
I also noticed I talk higher pitched than my roomate, and though I can do nothing about it; it's just an example of the small details you notice.

It's also pretty cool for imagination. I've had tons of ideas for writing books and programming games. Especially while listening to music, I always imagine darkness fighting the light (and vice-versa). Per musical tone change determines who is winning, the darkness or the light (sounds weird, but it's absolutely amazing).
Sometimes you get so drawn into these things, you make up an entire story in your mind and believe it's all true, until a simple interruption (I.E bang on the wall or door closes) snaps you back to reality.
It has given me so many ideas I'd like to interpret into Graal3D, as well as mentioned above: making a book. Even writing songs would be great.

Sorry for the long post, but if you're so against something truly unique and an exciting experience, you're definitely missing out.
Not bad for you > Entertainment > Increases productivity > Explores the mind.
You'd be crazy to deny such fun.

+rep for this.

The only time it's ever dangerous, is when the user is ****ing ******ed.

+rep, completely true.

But then again, there are the people who can moderate themselves but won't due to them considering it "cool."

I would say ciggs and alcohol are worse than hardcore drugs(if you're talking about deaths). You didn't really clarify what you meant.

Lmao if you actually think half the people here who smoke weed will ever do heroin you are seriously misinformed. You can pull as many sources as you want from websites, but at the end of day its your decision to do what you want with your life just dont bash others on how they live theres.

I'm not bashing on anybody. I just think any type of drug is dumb to be honest.

If someone is doing drugs now, you can only assume they will continue doing drugs in the future, and they may possibly partake in worse drugs.

That's like saying if you like to spend money shopping, you'll be homeless soon because you'll keep spending.
There are some people out there who are stupid and get involved with heroin, cocaine, etc. Yes, I totally agree.
However, it's bad practice to think everyone will follow those footsteps. I'd say the majority of people realize how terrible a lot of drugs are, and don't do them.

Give a man a gun for hunting, he'll bring home food. Give the wrong man a gun, he'll bring home his murder victim.

Agree with you guys. What I was trying to say was that weed is the least harmful to the user(personal opinion), but that could have been interpreted many ways.

Of course, it's a drug. It just doesn't **** you up like some others do.

Also, with all biases aside, if you're interested in finding out how different drugs affect you on the neurological level (pro-drug or not), I suggest taking a look at this link called Mouse Party.

Very interesting link. I experimented with them all, and learned a lot.
Thank you!

If someone is doing drugs now, you can only assume they will continue doing drugs in the future, and they may possibly partake in worse drugs.

So basically you're saying it's a gateway drug.

Now, many people do classify it as that, but it's only a gateway drug when you're ****ing ******ed.

Think about it this way; music influences many, many people to do drugs, but do you call it Gateway Music?
