Is it normal to hate people who lie about weed?

When i was in school we used to have anti drug presentations and everytime someone talked about marijuana 80% percent of the stuff that comes out are lies and i always felt like standing up and yelling: bullshit! I mean if you smoked weed and you heard this; "weed has caused millions of deaths, too much to count". What would you feel like? So is it normal to hate people that lie about weed?

  • I smoked weed every day for years and most of the stuff they say is true believe it or not. Fuck it made me unhealthy both mentally and physically, it just takes long term use.

    Wrong. You are assuming that statistically it is being recorded directly as a death due to marijuana use which it's probably not, meaning that generally speaking the crime figures stats are being manipulated because they're not being recorded correctly in the first place. What proof do you have that no-one has died as a result of indulgent marijuana use? You don't. You're just following sheep rhetoric and jumping on the bandwagon and basing a statement on really, an ineligible claim. Perhaps the direct death of marijuana use is being listed as heart attacks or episodes of paranoid psychosis, which means its not to say people don't die from marijuana, but the claim is based on an event as a result of marijuana use, giving it almost a two-tiered perception.

      I'm sure that deaths from pot are not nearly so dramatic as the media proclaims it to be, nonetheless I would not use "nobody has died from pot" as a pro-marijuanna argument.

      Not to mention, it is difficult to judge whether there are more pot-related deaths or alcohol-related deaths consdering alcohol is much more widely used then marijuanna.

      But, it's all the same to me. I still think alcohol is more dangerous in general.

    Its a bad policy to lie to young people about the effects of substances. When they get older and inevitably try drugs for themselves they realise they have been lied to about the risks and dismis any thought about the dangers as properganda. It also makes them loose trust in their peers.

    I'm very pro cannabis but it can have the potential to slow you down. No one really knows how it will effect you in the long run. I just noticed today that I've been high about a third of my life, pretty much everyday. I'm only 21 years old. I have been pot free the past few weeks. My brain is trying to adjust to life without cannabis, and while it's not very hard it is debilitating in someways. I can't concentrate very well, and am depressed quite often now. My mind became somewhat dependent on using cannabis to study and think, that when deprived of the drug my brain feels slow and empty. Because marijuana doesn't impair your ability to function can actually be somewhat of a problem. When I began smoking I got high, but eventually it came to the point where I would smoke just to keep from being depressed and hungry enough to eat. So, I just want to say while pot is great and all and relatively safe, you should be cautious if you use it. It really can be bad for your brain. Please trust me, I wouldn't be typing this if I wasn't sure it had some type of negative effect. Though I can't say how much is actually the fault of the drug or my poor decisions. Just know that if you indulge moderation is the key. That is very important.

    Weed has caused millions of deaths, not directly but indirectly. They call it the gateway drug, because a lot of people smoke it for awhile then get bored of the high and want to try different highs, which in many cases leads people to much more lethal drug habits.

    Of course this isn't the case for all people, but it is for many. I was one of them. Fortunately I never got hooked on any hard drugs but I have tried most of them with the exception of heroin. I even smoked crack rocks once just to see what the high was like. And I'm no crack head.

    Nowadays I'm pretty much anti-drugs. With age comes wisdom.

    Teenagers and the like don't know any better although they think "they know it all."

    The drug trade, and drug lifestyle itself certainly causes death. Maybe that's what they're talking about? If so, then they're being hypocrites though, because it's mostly due to it being illegal that makes it deadly.

    First off, I want to say I smoke Weed whenver I hang out with one of my Bros. Which is like once or less a week.

    Now, I don't mean the dieing part...but how do you know that in the long run it's ok for you? To be honest I don't think it's good for you, or that horribly bad for you. It DOES slow you down, based on my own observations.

    It pisses me off when those people talk bs I once red a pamphlet that said MJ leads to harder drugs.. But the truth is If you do hard drugs you would of done them wether you smoked weed or not. That's a fact. people just say stupid crap about weed cause they think it going to destroy our world but actually we wouldn't have as many technological advancements if it wasnt for weed. It's a problem solver!

    I'm not really into smoking, but from what I've read, weed doesn't have major health risks. Cigs actually cause more health problems, such as cancer.

    i just got out of high school we had those too it is a shit load of lies if weed really does kill people where the hell is the proof. it doesn't kill people the ones who can't hold it are some pussies. people do a lot of dumass shit when high. you can't say the weed killed them if they died while high. its their own problem if they get hurt or do something stupid not the weed. and for anybody who thinks different shut the fuck up what hell do you know away.

    The problem with weed is the dangers are very real. Go on, google it quickly, it can cause mental health problems. Some say the problems have to be underlying, but how are you to know you have somthing underlying. Not only has it brought out schizophrenia it also causes, anxiety, depression etc....

    People (even me at first) belive this is bullshit. Its not.

    Weed gave me problems.

    I'm not one to smoke it, but I don't go around bashing it. Kids should be able to come to that place where drugs are a no-no, with real information. What they tend to use is called misleading statistics, and its nothing but munipulation.

    Pro marijuana here. just as peanuts or pineapples
    There are people that are allergic. I have seen no proof for or against allergic reactions to the substance. I have not looked. So it is possible that some have died from use. As many as stated I think not .though it would seem you may be over exaggerating their claims which does not help your argument.

    It's a sad indication that education is becoming politicized in so many ways. Special interest groups try to influence education more and more. I'd think parent groups are partially responsible as well because the world will completely end if a kid comes and tells his parent that smoking dope is less harmful that cigarettes or alcohol.

    That said, is it any different to the people who say it's completely harmless as well when that's obviously not true either?

    It can cause health problems but that doesn't concern most people.
