Is it normal to dislike the idea of smoking marijuana?

82% Normal
25 Comments

I've battled this for years, now, but I just have no desire. It seems like everyone around me does it casually, but to me that's a turn-off. To me, our minds are capable of so much without it. I'm not anti-fun, I love much about this life but drugs are one thing I've never understood. I've been given this body and mind for a purpose, why mess with it like that? Perhaps I'm just not a rebel in that sense? I like things working how they should, when it comes to my body. It took a long time for me to accept and drink alcohol, too, and I still wish it weren't "standard."

    So take it from me,dont listen to these un-educated children.Cannabis (weed) has many benefits.
    It expands creativity,and softens the ego.It increased performance of sex.Helps you sleep better,shows,music and other events are far more interesting and abstract,espically music.The plant itself is used for rope and clothing.And it sure as hell doesnt cause brain damage.The worst that happens while high is you might get a little sick and faint but for gods sake energy drinks do 100x worse and there legal.
    Dotn fight something that has already been wrongly accused.
    LEGALIZE IT!

    Haha, marijuana doesn't cause brain damage. XD

    But it's cool if you don't want it, just dont judge people who do it

      Yes, it does. Ask any medical professional in the world, or the people I know who have destroyed themselves with it.

        The study that claimed that gassed monkeys for 5 or more minutes with constant cannabis smoke. The monkeys got brain damage from oxygen deprivation, not from the weed.

          The effect of normal human recreational marijuana use has been studied and documented for decades. I've also seen it first hand many, many times. I have never even heard of the incident you mentioned.

              I did my own study. It's called real life. Everybody I know Who has smoked marijuana for a number of years has developed the same distinctive "slowness". Their memories are poor, they can't seem to really retain any new information, they are sluggish and unmotivated ALL the time, and their reflexes are terrible, to name just a few symptoms.

              What I said before is true: No respected medical professional in the world will tell you that marijuana does not cause brain damage.

    You don't have to be a rebel to like smoking marijuana.

    So, you don't like altering your consciousness, big deal. Just don't look down your nose at others who do like to do it and you'll be fine.

    It's normal to feel this way, but I don't feel that I am any less capable of reaching goals and staying ambitious because I smoke weed every day. Everyone is who they are I guess, and you just like sobriety. More power to you for not feeling the need to take a break from reality.

    Maskedgunman is either a troll or 12 so don't feed him.

    And yes god gave us our bodies and minds for a reason, but s/he must have also put marijuana on this earth for a reason too. Cause no harm, do what ye will.

      By that logic, maybe we should eat poison dart frogs as well. God put them on the earth, didn't he?

          If there was any specific reason God put marijuana on the earth, it probably has something to do with the fact that it produces hemp, which is the strongest vegetable fiber in the world.

          Wild marijuana could not even really get you high; it has been bred to do this. So in a way, man mad marijuana, not God.

    We have a receptor in our brain that only activates when "THC" from marijuana is in our system. Now if we didn't have that receptor im not at all against people who are disgusted by weed. But knowing this just opens up doors for what our mind and body is capable of.

    Smoking weed was probably the best decision ive made in my entire life..... seriously. It isn't something that should be looked down upon, you've been programmed from a young age to be against it. I've smoked MASSIVE amounts and never had negative side effects. Just quit being scared of everything in life and try it out. Nothing bad will happen to you because you smoked some marijuana unless you are getting drug tested for something.

    You guys we are ALL individuals! Stop trying to get it through other peoples mind that it is okay to smoke Marijuana. So some people don't like smoking it, and are totally against it; okay that's fine. Some people might try to get their hands on it daily, or smoke it with their friends on some sort of basis.
    I personally find weed to be something to do if I'm with a few friends or something and one of them happens to have weed, sure! I'll smoke some of it.

    You sound just like me. I have no plans to ever smoke or drink anything with alcohol in it. It's definitely a turn-off for me, too..it'd take a LOT for me to date a girl who regularly smokes marijuana.

    Marijuana = brain damage. People who smoke marijuana are between humans and animals.
