. i smoke marijuana, but why does everyone...?

Greetings. I'm Zukes.
Allow me to finish up the question.
"I smoke marijuana, but why does everyone criticize it, even if they've never tried it?"

-My side of the story-
I didn't start smoking from peer pressure. However, I knew marijuana was a drug.
When I started, I've felt pretty good after the effects kicked in.
If you don't know what the effects are, allow me to explain.
The Marijuana effects ARE controllable!
Your vision gets slow, and your sense of humor becomes superior. Marijuana mocks hormones to trigger your "Hungry/Thirsty" feeling, and that's where The Munchies come in. Are you following me? The crazy thing is.. Marijuana doesn't kill you, but it does little damage to your lungs, but you can't die from it.
Things like Caffeine and Cigarettes can kill you; So why is that Legal?

Anyway, My question is; Why does everyone criticize such an unharmful thing?

And as for addiction. It depends on the type of person. You can easily quit smoking marijuana.

So is it Normal?
I I N?

    I can't even handle it when people call marijuana a gateway drug. You want the the real "gateway" drug? It's fucking alcohol! Alcohol causes so many problems in our society, but we blindly ignore it. Why? Thats a hard question that I don't think has one solid answer, but It doesn't take much brain power to think about all of the problems our country has because of alcohol. Weed saved me from the destruction of alcohol. And while I still drink socially I am a much healthier and have so many less problems in my life.

    People criticize weed because they are socially and culturally conditioned to do so. No one seems to take into account that alcohol's effects are much more serious and dangerous than those of pot. People also don't seem to realize that up until very recently in history did weed become socially taboo and illegal. People have been doing it for ages, for goodness sake humans even have "cannabis receptors" in our brains. That's right, we were BORN to smoke weed. So everyone just toke up and CALM DOWN

    i think most people who criticize are either control freaks or have had a bad experience in the past with the stuff and they just want to warn you about it. also they say that pot is the "gateway" to harder drugs. everyone starts on weed then move up to harder and harder drugs. not everyone does this though which is hard for some people to understand. i figure if you have been educated about the drug then you should know what you are doing. you have your own mind.

    Not harmful? Read the research on this. I mean not just from one medical source but many. It affects the brain, the thought pattern and behaviour of the user and it is the mere start to all manner of brain disorders, that will descend upon you like a tonne of bricks and when it does, it is far to late to do anything about it.
    Wake up to yourself! If you so wish to get high, then simply get high on life itself and what it can offer, if you have the intelligence to really open your eyes and take notice of what beauty and wonder is all about you ... naturally.

  • I don't smoke. I don't however have a problem with people who do. I could care less what someone chooses to do especially when it affects me in no way.

    You sound as if you are way past the point where you can "easily quit" The longer you smoke weed the more your tollerence builds, and the more you have to smoke to get your buzz on. One day you'll graduate to something with more of a kick to it: Cocaine for one. A diabolical ass kicker that can and may destroy you. Heroine awaits. No? Well there are a variety of pills and potions sitting on a dealers shelf somewhere just waiting for you dumb addicted ass to come by wanting. How do I know this? Ha! I'll give you three guesses and two of them don't count. I'm an addict in recovery you dumb fuck. I started out just like you: rolling those "harmless" joints on a piece of cardboard to get those troublesome seeds out. SO STOP AND LISTEN TO ME YOU STUPID FUCKING POT HEAD! I was once the same stupid fuck weed head as you are now. Peace and love brother. Please stop smoking weed while you still can. Please. :-D

    From what I've learn the reason it's illegal is because unlike other drugs like lung cancer "tobacco" it targets the brain and from what I hear it can really fuck you up.

    MARIJUANA IS AN HERB.. NOT A DRUG. I trust mother nature more than the governments that classified it as such. if it naturally grows out of the earth, that's good enough for me.

    Is what normal dude?

    I haven't heard anyone criticising the herb. If they do, I guess it would be through ignorance.

    They dont know its relatively harmless. They still believe the reefer madness propaganda and don't do the research to have an informed decision.

    I know someone who just had a little marijuana here and little there (maybe got high once every two weeks) and thought it was no big deal. He died in his late forties or early fifties and the verdict of his death was that he damaged a couple of his organs (not sure which ones as I was too young to ask at the time and no one remembers now) from using too much marijuana. Marijuana IS OK IF it is prescribed by the doctor (which it can be) and if you stick to the amount your doctor says and only use it for as long as your doctor says to.

    Oh yea and of course its easy to quit. You dont become addicted to pot. Its only a mere crave

    Pot is still easily acessable to the public. People will always feel uncomfortable with the unknown so thats why they criticize.
    Also cigarets and cafine have become a business, thats why they are still around(fast food kills you too but its a business as well)

    sadly its normal, we're told from a young age weed is bad, say no to drugs yada yada ... some of us grow up, research things, explore things, and make our own decisions, others just continue to follow society, beleive what they hear and do as their told.

    I think people critize b/c they feel like okay I want to belong to a certain group. Lets say its the conservative group. So then they try to think what they think that group would think. I love love love weed. Its harmless.

    They have made marijuana an illegal drug. So when people think about it they say " marijuana, oh it's illegal, therefore it's bad" I smoked weed in high school a lot, I quit for a few years and now I do it maybe once or twice a month. It isn't harmful, it doesn't make you stupid. I'm on my to being an electrical engineer. Marijuana has a big history behind it (which I Wong get into), but it wasn't made illegal for it's effects, there's a story of politics, racism and greedy people. For those of you that think this is such a "bad drug" go look that up.

    I just quit smoking. But my friends cant get out of bed without a bong, or sleeping without a bong. They don't realize how antisocial they are, and it may feel good, but I've seen the extreme sides from friends who do really nothing but smoke up. Since I quit, I cant enjoy my time with them any longer, so I can see why non-smokers would rather have their friend than a stoner. :3

    But yes I do believe pot should be legal. I lost all my good friends to drugs, and all my friends were junkies or dealers. I wasn't a junkie but my friends wanted nothing to do with me, but can a non-smoker emphasize on this topic, because I'd like to hear it from a fun Nazi.
