Why do you smoke marijuana?

I am just curious to know.

Why is marijuana considered bad and not alcohol or tobacco? I never thought about this before, but marijuana's bad is showed down everyone is throat. Why?

 

It's The Man, man. The Man is keeping us dooooown.

 

Why would the man want to keep you down? What danger does marijuana present to the man?

In answer to the header question, I smoke it because I like it. I started because I was extremely curious as to what could possibly be so bad that it is constantly shoved down our throats to avoid. And I like it.

Why? Because it makes me feel a way I can't feel any other way. Sure, this may seem little bad, I suppose, but I love the way it makes me feel.

No, I'm not addicted in any way.

Yes, I am slightly defensive.

No, I don't know why I am.

And, Finally, I have no clue why marijuana is considered so bad. Something historically useful, i would assume... By historically useful, I mean to say something important to historians. And to those of us who utilize marijuana...

Yeah, I'm gonna stop now.

 

I really don't anymore...

makes me feel stupid... inarticulate.... blank.......

but every so often, as long as it is the danks.........i'll toke with you.

 

If you want to find out why pot was made illegal (in the 1930's), read The Emperor Wears No Clothes by Jack Herer.

The reason it remains illegal is that gov't & industry make so much $$ by keeping it that way.

 

I guess the "feel" depends on the user.

Back, in high school every kid that smoked marijuana was an idiot. is there any research leading Marijuana to idiocy and brainless people?

 

I smoke it because it makes me feel gooooooooood ... yeeeaaaahhh

I mean, have you ever kissed your girlfriend while high? It feels goooooood

 

^
Sooo true!

 

yeah, and if kissing feels THAT GOOD I wonder how sex feels high ... hmmm

 

because its like a very very mild very very mild psychedelic and i feel great

 

You have no idea

 

i shall know shortly

 

i smoke it cos like most people, it feels good but also i smoke it for an unknown reason that i will only discover while smoking ..

 

cooloner,

It doesn't seem like you are brainless, I guess the popular assumption does not hold.

 

Being brought up in a culture that demands that I define myself through useless products and shallow social roles makes marijuana a valuable resource when my body and mind have been taxed to the point where I can't exert much of a physical or mental effort to replace the void created by ignoring so much of what surrounds me.

Even still, I don't understand why people feel that being able to smoke marijuana is so damn important; if activists would devote their efforts to creating something of inherent meaning to them rather than fighting a law that truthfully is not hard at all to evade, a lot of them could probably be doing some really great things - or at the very least be persuing endeavors whose value exceeds the end result of marijuana being legalized.

 

Well I smoke it because I can look at the world (and other things) in a different perspective. I just see it as a different way to live and think. Sobriety is one way, and being high is another. I just see it as door #2 I guess.

 

I guess I smoke as a way to sort out all the thoughts I have in my mind. I've got so much shit going on in my life right now, and smoking helps me sort out and organize my thoughts so I can come up with good answers for my own problems. It doesn't make the decisions for me, but it helps me make them on my own in a much more relaxed, enjoyable environment rather than trying to go about it sober. Plus, getting high is fun, so why not?

 

for recreation. and to think.
