Legal marijuana - good or bad? Any personal experience?

The lulz of you thinking that's what he said.

Can you read? Because he definitely said that.

"Anyway, my beef is that because of marijuana's place and perception in society, it has elevated its debate on its effectiveness to such a level that is significantly out of proportion with its application and benefits, but I don't think that's a very real discussion that's able to be had because it too easily falls back on a moral dichotomy."

That paragraph is essentially him calling it overvalued.
 
Anyone who is against legalizing marijuana is a clown. You may not like it, but people shouldnt be able to regulate people's personal choices to such a far reaching extent. If someone wants to use it for medical purposes and they think it helps them, then who is anyone to call it overvalued? If that person thinks it helps them get through their day, that value is solely up to them.

I think he is saying that the debate is out of proportion with the issue and that the medical benefits are being blown out of proportion in order to justify legalization and wide spread use. To listen to the pro-marajuana community this is some sort of wonder drug and the world would be changed for the better if only it was more readily available and more widely used. IMO most people are better off without pot, even though there are some people who it could/does benefit.

I'm not at all surprised that pot smokers don't agree with this thinking. I wouldn't have agreed with it back when I smoked pot. In retrospect, quitting was a very good decision for me.

This.
If I’m watching a jazz game on my couch smoking some pot why would anyone be against that or care at all?
I don’t get it.

I agree that people are probably better off not smoking pot. Or drinking alcohol. Or coffee. Or eating unhealthy food. Or having high risk hobbies (mtn biking, wind surfing, mountain climbing, hunting, rafting, skateboarding etc). Or having unprotected sex. Watching too much porn And lots of other stuff.

Life is full of things that can be bad for you/hurt you. Probably shouldn’t make it all illegal though.

Imo most pot smokers just want to come home from work and smoke a bit and relax. Some people it really helps with real issues.


Legalize it.
 
Those complaining about the smell...... I hate the smell of coffee. I hate that it stains everything. I hate that it’s addicting and people are in bad moods if they don’t get their coffee. I hate all the coffee mugs being left all over at work. The sugar and cream packets. Dirty spoons.
We should make coffee illegal.

I’m just kidding. It’s ridiculous to have one of your reasons to want something to be illegal be because you don’t like the smell.
 
I hope my daughter never smokes pot. I hope she never needs it to have a good time or to feel better mentally (anxiety, depression) or needs it to alleviate physical pain.
I hope she never drinks alcohol. I hope she never feels the need to do anything that might not be the most healthy. This includes her diet, the relationships she gets into with friends or partners, and everything else.

If she decides she wants to smoke pot and enjoys it or if she believes that it helps her with pain, physically or mentally, then I hope the law don’t **** with her when she makes that choice. Cause that is lame

Not true. These pot heads do not show you the real research proving exactly the opposite of their claims that it is not addictive, gateway, or amplifies opioid use.

I don’t need research. I smoked pot for about 10 years on a regular basis. Had no problems from it at all. Enjoyed it immensely.
Then I had a job interview for a job I really wanted and they required a drug test about 3 weeks from my interview. So I quit using marijuana then and there. It was really easy. No withdrawal symptoms. No sign of any addiction. I just stopped.

I missed it no doubt (still do) but it was not addictive at all for me.

The fact that its illegal is what makes it a gateway drug. How did I get pot? From a drug dealer. Drug dealers have other drugs too. I’m already breaking the law by using weed so why not try some other ****.

Legalize it and it’s no longer a gateway drug. Or less of one anyway.

It was much easier to get In High school than alcohol. But alcohol is legal. Interesting. Maybe legalizing it would make it harder for kids to obtain.


Then there is all the money to be made from weed.

Then there is all the money (and goods) to be made from hemp.

Weed being illegal is incredibly dumb.

The above is probably the most dramatic example of how one of weed's active ingredients, cannabidiol (CBD), has medicinal value.

A member of my extended family had Huntington's Disease. As the symptoms of that always fatal disease grow worse, angry outbursts become a real problem, something that is hard for other family members/loved ones to live with. Eventually, he made the decision to enter hospice, but, before he did, he obtained a medical marijuana license and he smoked weed daily, because it simply improved his mood. He was easier to be around. He was happier, and if you've ever known anyone with Huntington's, who can really argue with that?

This review of 10,000 marijuana studies disagrees with you.

@Ron Mexico you always talk about suicide and mental health issues. Guess what pot causes? Both. And it is linked to higher vehicle crashes.
