[Fahrenheit1221]

Weed has a bad reputation due to governmental ad campaigns and what not. Sure it has health effects but no more so than a Big Mac or a Whopper.

It did

- make me feel tired all the time
- look like I was permanently exhausted
- make me pig out on snacks
- dull my reflexes
- make simple-minded tv and film seem inspired
- make me want to try out higher highs

and it was hard to quit as I had cravings for a while after I stopped.

As such, at the time when people accused it of these things, I had no real rebuttal. It just doesnt effect everyone in the same way, some can smoke it and not have any of these effects. I did though.

hey, you really cant complain about number 5. LOL. i know i dont!

Weed itself can be easily defended, the people that tend to use it cannot.

It all depends on the person, not everyone is the same, I have never had lost or damage to short term memory, Never felt lazy or anything like that.

Some people can take it others react different.

QFT, man. I use to be a 2 blunt a day smoker before probation, and honestly, I feel better than I have in the last 2 years.

You smoked ALOT that's why.

Defending, no. Smokin yes.

[DeathNTaxes]

I smoked, smoked A LOT OF weed, and drank a shit load, and then I graduated College and realized how juvenile it is.

Not to say weed smokers are bad people but EVERYONE who I know who smokes/met who smokes is considerably less mature then those who have outgrown that phase.

I'm going to tell you as an "educated" ex-pot head that it is a total waste of time and it has negative effects on everyone who uses it. Those who are productive on pot would be even more productive without it. Those who can barely get by w/o pot will be total losers if they smoke all the time. Pot absolutely hinders your potential in all aspects of life. If you find yourself defending it it means you are a pot head.
Now before your knee starts to jerk let me say Im not claiming it's worse than alcholol or its the devil. Im not sayin anything other than it is bad for you and childish. Everyone I know who smoked for years and quit laugh at the pot head life style they used to lead. Those who still smoke it defend it much like yourself. It's not a coincidence....it just means you are a pot head and defending it is the number 1 symptom.
Now if you are able to go thru life high then god bless you but most people snap out of it in their mid 20's at the latest. If you are younger than that then enjoy it while it lasts but dont get to caught up in it. Life looks a lot different when you're not looking thru smoke cloud glasses.

Just an update for everyone, I just stopped smoking once again this week and plan on taking a month or maybe a few months off. It's not bothering me at all and I honestly pretty much just feel the same.

Would this be the time to pimp up Kendall Grove and how pot smoking has helped him get smoked in the ring?
