The anti-weed people

[kev]

I enjoy smoking marijuana on occasion, mainly because I love the feeling and I think getting stoned with other people is a great way to 'bond'. However, a close frined of mine has a huge problem with me taking any marijuana at all. He shows me all these reports and papers that he has found that apparantly 'prove' how harmful the stuff is. And yet, from what I've read, occasional use causes no huge health problems and even frequent use causes lesser problems then frequent cigarette smoking or alcahol drinking. I have told him this and he is still insistant that I should stop taking weed alltogether. I was wandering what you people say to get this kind of person off your back?

my freind says weed is bad for you and all the time. and he is one that took my seeds and smoke them what a dumass he is.

weed is not bad for u. it has many medicinal uses plus hundreds of other uses. some people are just against it 100 %. and if that was me id tell my friend im smokin it because i enjoy n nothing u say will change my mind no matter how good of a friend they are but thts my take on it.

I would just let him know that if he wants to buy into all the propaganda that's his choice but tell him he should really get his facts straight before he starts talking about something he knows nothing about.

Let your friend know that you enjoy smoking and it's really none of his business weather you do it or not.

Alcohol and Smoking kill you 100 times faster than weed, shit if i get cancer from smoking, which YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT, then i'll keep smoking to ease the pain. People who say weed is bad for you and bring over papers to your house saying that is bad, IS NOT A FRIEND. THEY ARE STRANGERS. No just jokin but seriously what a fruit to say that. Have him puff a little then maybe he'll come around and as for you, you shouldn't just smoke occasionally but ALL THE TIME. No not really, I use to smoke all the time, but couldn't function when it came time to do my homework, so now I know how to handle my shit.

Peace,

I have found that the best way to deal with ignorant people (AKA sheep of society) is to suceed. I am a graduating Sr., graduating in a few weeks with a BA in Communication Studies, and made the Deans list last semester to boot (A shock to my mother, i assure you). I smoke pot FREQUENTLY, even more so since I became a legal medical user a month ago. I CHOOSE to smoke after my homework is done and i am free to relax. SOme people my age chose to drink alcohol. I chose to smoke pot instead. I have free will and live in a, supposedly, free country. If I chose to subject my lungs and my body to pot smoke (Much like many people enjoy the freedom to subject their lungs to ciggerette smoke) then thats MY f'ing business and no one elses. A person should judge me for who I am, not my personal habbits if my personal habbits affect only myself an no others. If your "friend" cant accept the fact that you like to smoke pot, then continue being who you are, suceed, and perhaps one day he will understand that its none of his damn business how you relax or what you do to your OWN body. I'd also point out that smoking addictive nicotine, drinking brain cell killing booze, and ingesting all sorts of cancerous, unhealthy products into our bodies is all acceptable behavior and sanctioned by our government. Perhaps he should be questioning why a harmless plant is being so oppressed by the gov when so much other "harmful" material is supported (and taxed....uh oh, someone is going to be forced to use their BRAIN!!!) rather than hasteling you over a personal choice on how you chose to relax your body and your mind.

Dude, just hand him a bong, tie him up, tell him hit this, then see what he says. Lol. That's what I say. TOKE TOGETHER! -Jen


(I agree with Purple Monkey here guys, just deal. You rock man, well said!)

Yeah, yeah, Ok, I've heard all this before, too. My best friend is always down on pot. Yet she and her husband get trashed almost every weekend and drive home from bars all fucked up. In fact, the last time they went out, her hubby got in a fight and broke some guy's jaw....real smart! It's ridiculous that is beer is legal for any dumb fuck out there but I can't smoke a joint.

I agree mary, I argue this with my husband all the time. How often do you hear about someone getting killed by a stoned driver--not at all unless they are stoned on some painkillers or some other pill and that still isn't happening like the deaths caused by DUI. Also, pot is a cheaper buzz than alcohol, doesn't make you puke and fight, doesn't have any calories (not counting the munchies), and is all natural. It should all be about personal choices.
