Who said the point was changing his mind?

We're not just up against this guy here, we're up against our own fucking government.

It doesn't matter if one person out of the millions who smoke finds himself regretting it and under the addictive pull of a mood-altering chemical.

WE all know it's effects, WE all know that marijuana does much more than Impair, that used properly and with respect to one's life, it can elevate almost all aspects of the human expirience.
We also know that the physical addiction of marijuana is slightly disputed, even with the scientific data. I myself find my stomach to be painful in a day of withdrawal, but this is so meaningless to me that I usually drink some water and forget about it.

Personally, I think the withdrawal effects stem from things like binge eating, lowered metabolism from a less active lifestyle (only for those who choose to smoke indica and relax, which is what indica feels best at), and of course in the mind. Sure, the brainchemistry might not be altered enough to cause a normal withdrawal, but I don't think anyone here can argue with the basic concept of Excessive pleasure leading to a decrease of pleasure, and then leveling out. This decrease of pleasure, if only a perceptual thing becuase it's not chemically based, will obviously have psychosomatic effects in someone who's been smoking daily and stops.
Inferius Reviewed by Inferius on . Marijuana is bad Let's be honest.... marijuana robs us of our ambition. marijuana impairs short-term memory and therefore learning. This would not be such a big deal if not for the fact that it is so forgiving that half the people who use it do so all day every day to the extent that it has a profound effect on the quality of life and our potential to be successful. Marijuana is addictive. Not just psychologically. I have been addicted physically numerous times, and it is rough. I've been warned about Rating: 5
