>I don't really know anyone who's against the legalization of marijuana.
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
SMOK WEEB EVERYDYY

I wonder if I'm missing out for not getting baked, I just don't see the appeal in drugs. To combat pain yeah.
yeah. it's a fun party drug but lifestyle pot smokers are the biggest losers. it has so many negative effects on the mind and body that i don't know if it's worth it even if you're in pain. most potheads are chronic users, so they don't notice.

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.
@fluffy @Sighs @Mr_NutterButter @beardalaxy that statistic likely skews a lot by state. fwiw I'm aware of negative cognitive effects but not any significant negative physical effects at sane quantities (other than those from regular smoke inhalation if you go that route)

but also even the negative cognitive effects seem to vary a surprising degree from person to person. a few of the smartest and most diligent workers I've known were high almost 24/7 which really surprised me when I found out. I realize that's not the norm though

as with other drugs I suspect that most people who exhibit severe addiction and dysfunctional behavior likely have other problems in their life that are fueling the abuse

@roboneko @Sighs @Mr_NutterButter @fluffy i've got a friend who doesn't smoke very much at a time but he does a few times a week (he'll make $100 of weed last an entire year). it's kind of remarkable to see the difference in his performance in pretty much everything. he's a ball of anxiety otherwise and can't keep focused.
