I'm interested as to whether you'd apply the same perspective to other drugs. This guy is an alcoholic. Aaah, stop blaming alcohol, your just lazy and insecure. This guy loves coke. Leave coke alone, it was his decision.

If your in denial that weed can cause harm to you, then you won't get far in life. It's a little thing called responsibility. I seriously doubt that the best advice you could give this guy in the linked forum is "relax and smoke another joint". The first thing i'd tell him is stop smoking it if he knows it's screwing him. It's a very narrow minded mentality to look down on those that admit they have a problem as 'losers'. Start by thanking your lucky stars weed does not have that effect on you. Is weed the safest substance on earth? If you can logically say 'no', then that proves my point.

I don't deem this standpoint as offensive or out of the question. If anything it's something everyone on this site should be thinking about. I still love it, but this past month has shown me the ugly side of marijuana use and has definitely made me take a step back. I would advise you to do the same if you ever feel the negative effects we are all aware of.

In the meantime, keep toking and don't be a dopehead :thumbsup:


That's not true. I wake up in the morning and light up a joint, but i dont feel i HAVE too. I dont HAVE too. I choose to as it helps with my ailments. But that doesnt mean im addicted.

You can smoke as much as you like, but it doesnt mean your addicted. It's only a problem when it controls you, but if you can control it, it's not a problem.

I pay the bills, tax, insurance and everything else i need to live comfortably before i buy weed. Weed comes last.

Anyway, i dont belive weed is addictive at all. I'll accept habbit forming, but not addictive.

It's not hard to quit weed, anyone can do it, no matter how much they think they need it. It's just another excuse, like saying weed makes people lazy - it doesnt. It doesnt strip them of all their energy, they just cant be bothered to use their energy.

They're not addicted, they're just idiots using it as an excuse, and making it out to be bad, when it's done nothing wrong.
