Welcome to Gaia! ::

I recently started regularly smokking marijuana. I know alot of people don't like it and disagree with people using it. However it has helped my mental state and helped me become alot more calm and collected.

I don't understand why it isnt legal if not just as a medication. It could seriously help alot of people.

What do you think about marijuana?
Ever had it? What were the affects on you? positive or negative?

It's only illegal because you can grow it yourself. Government can't tax what you grow for your own personal use, right? neutral

I dont mind weed, really
But im not using it, perhaps once for the heck of it, but .. yea

Its legal in holland xD
so , ... yay us XD

Complete bullshit that it's not legal. Also bullshit that it's rated as just as bad as Heroin. The s**t's never killed someone directly, has fewer negative effects than smoking (since most people couldn't go through packs upon packs of joints in a day even if they tried) and alters your mind less than a good dose of Tequila.

Chalk it up as 18+ or whatever, tax the sales a reasonable amount and make it into a controlled substance. Problem solved.

Or at LEAST put some money into developing the pill form of THC (the active drug) which has been created, but not marketed, for medicinal uses.

I, personaly, don't really belive weed is any worse than alcohol or cigarettes. They have bars and laws against driving while intoxicated, just have areas/bars to smoke it in like they do with alcohol. I would never smoke it, because it does effect the short term memory, but alcohol isn't exactly great for you eather.

My major argement with people who smoke weed is that it IS an illegel substance in the United States. Do I think it should be legel? Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that it ISN'T legel. So stop bitching when you get busted for carrying it.

I personally don't have any grudges against weed. I've had friends that have used this substance and from my observation. The only side effects I see is hungry, happy, and sleepy. Lol, I'm no Doctor in anyway and don't know the ins and outs of how it effects certain parts of the body. But on a scale from 1 to 10 I would rate it a 4.

I've never used any kind of drug before, but I understand from what I've heard and seen what it does for some people. But with most things their is always a possibility for something negative. Depending on the person it could lead down the road to other actual harmful drugs.

So I don't know, smoke all you want I guess, Lol! When you see cigarettes causing cancer and irresponsible drinking causing car crashes. Weed doesn't look so bad in my book, but what is it like to be under the influence of this drug while, lets say, the workplace, driving, school, and etc...? How does it effect your daily task of the day?

I can't stand either. However, I recently found that I have a much more adverse reaction to weed than cigarettes. Cigarettes just make me cough while weed makes my eyes burn, nose drip, and violently cough at minute wisps. sad

You know what ? I personally do not care too much about if people choose to smoke marijuana, regularly or not. I truly think they should legalize it, so there will be so many troubles finally out of the way. ^_______^
