i've seen it ruin the lives of plenty of people
i wouldn't support legalization unless it was preceded by a substantial education campaign and a ban on depictions in the media glamorizing it as a lifestyle
I wonder if I'm missing out for not getting baked, I just don't see the appeal in drugs. To combat pain yeah.
also, most potheads are neck deep in cope too. look at this thread, where people are telling each other that all doctors (they know) support legalization. meanwhile in reality, half of doctors want it banned from use of ANY sort, even with medical prescription.
Like, is tobacco that much worse?
It's still inhaling smoke.
@Sighs @Mr_NutterButter @fluffy if you're smoking straight tobacco you're much better off than if you're smoking cigarettes. they put so much shit inside those things and that's really where the carcinogens come from.
smoking weed isn't really that great for your lungs either, though. i've never smoked it, just eaten it. you get a better high that way too in my opinion. smoking hits you quick and then it's gone, but if you eat it the high takes a bit to settle in and it lasts a lot longer, it's more mellow and just satisfying instead of coughing your lungs out and feeling like shit.
@Sighs @Mr_NutterButter @fluffy at least you know yourself enough to realize that! medicinal marijuana usually has a very low amount of THC though so it isn't any more addicting than like, ibuprofen is or whatever lol. it's not as much getting addicted to the drug as it is getting addicted to not feeling whatever the drug helps you with. you aren't gonna' have some CBD and then go into a panic attack if you don't have it for a while, you might just feel more pain than usual or get anxious again or whatever and want to take it again. a lot of people don't even experience withdrawals from normal weed lol.
i don't really have an addictive personality, i'll take a couple of shots if i'm celebrating with friends or just need to unwind a little bit but that's like twice a month max. i've got bottles of alcohol in my cupboard from like 2 years ago and i just threw out some hard lemonade because it was taking up too much room in our fridge and nobody was drinking it lol.
