pothead opinions

Heavy pot use makes people dumb, its a hard to argue fact.

 

Or are people dumb because they use cannabis so heavily? Everything in moderation, damnit...

 

No offense, but personal definitions don't really matter. By the denotation of drug, Drugs are chemicals which affect chemical processes in your body. By that definition THC is a very powerful drug.

Datura Doesn't require any synthesis, and is an extermly hallucinogen. Opium requires no synthesis and neither does tobacco.

Many people do think of cannibis negativly, and it's hard to blame them. Cannabis affects spcail reasoning, which impares operation of machinery, and one shouldn't drive while high. Driving while high cause many accidents, and marijuana can also leads to lung and throat cancer.

I'm not trying to talk anybody out of getting high. I'm just stating the fact that pot is a drug.

I don't have a problem with drugs. Drugs save millions of lives, and present countless hours of fun. But thers no reason to bullshit ourselves on the meaning of the word 'drug' right?

Throat cancer isn't good, thats why pot shouldn't be used constanly, right?

But if you decide to use it all the time, whatever. But it isn't any better then drinking or using meth habitually.

 

Yes, as well as a pickle... According to that definition, everything you ingest is a drug; so I don't use it.

I am aware of such things...

Driving high doesn't cause accidents; it varies too greatly between individual situations. Look, I'd argue about this actually, but it's 3:20 and I'm high...

 

Not the way I usually think; but it sounds nice right now...

 

Well yeah, food does alter the chemistry in your body, but food isn't considered a drug by current context, but ingredients in food, like caffine in soda, are considered drugs.

So You agree that THC is a very powerful chemical that acts on the brain, but you don't consider pot a drug?

I smoke pot, and it sounds to me like you're just trying to rid pot of the stigma associated with the term 'drugs'.

I understand it, but You gotta admit, pot is a drug by any sorta connentation of the word drug.

Driving high does cause accidents. I've known at least 10 people who have admited they got in accidents because they we're so high.

Theres nothing wrong with pot, but high people certainly shoudln't drive.

 

'Amen to that.

 

Fuck yeah dude I mean the way society and the govement project people who smoke the herb are the worst people in society and weed is the worst thing ever to fucking do, I mean unless its abused people should shut the fuck up!

 

I love the way the stoners defending weed make little to no sense in there arguements...

 

frist of all Im not a stoner, I smoke weed occsionaly nad second of all how is what I just said not make any sense all I need was read the post before me and quoted it because thats the way I feel.

 

Why isn't food considered a drug by context? It has many different chemical additives and what not; this is why I hate the textbook definition of "drugs."

I don't consider it to be a drug, no; science does, but I've learned to not rely on science. I consider cannabis to be a herb, as it doesn't have immediate side effects from moderated use.

Technically, yes, I do admit that. But I don't feel that way about it personally; self control is the way to go.

That's the point I was making... Driving under the influence of cannabis doesn't cause accidents; the decision to smoke cannabis and then drive increases the risk of accidents... Stupid people make stupid mistakes, which makes everyone assume stuff.

 

Dude, if I had the passion for it right now; it'd be different...

 

I just made a generalisation based on skim reading this thread. Skipping over the big posts

 

wow, that was amazing, im serious, Amen.

 

why did they make pot illegal in the first place?

 

Well it is a bit of a clusterfuck of a term.

How are you not relying on science e-friend?

Well as long as yopu keep things in perspective and don't go overboard, doesn't really matter what'cha call it.

You're right. Personal desicions are what cause accidents. Nothing wrong with kicking back and getting high after a long day. Just remember it's a very powerful chemical and don't go too crazy.

 

To help subsidize the cotton industry during the 30's. Cotton lobbyists forced through congress the marijuana tax act meaning that nobody could trade marijuana without a stamp.

And the stamp was never given out.

Hemp is superior to cotton for many industrial purposes. It's pschoactive effects weren't even mentioned much until the cotton industry tried to rally support behind the boycott by blaming crime waves *caused by alcohol prohibition* on stoned mexicans.

Kinda stupid, eh?

 

wow so then what music do you listen to? brittany spears? you obviously dont listen to good music or like good art or literature such as shakespeare or huxley or ginsberg or anyone good for that matter. and i suppose you hate george washington? people who use drugs for the right reasons are not a drain on society. people who hate people who use drugs are a drain on society. what do you care what i do with my body?

 

you are a hypocrite. shakespeare used substances to enhance creativity.
