BF2S Forums Pot? Weed? Your take.

no.

its not worse for you than alcohol. if not better. alcohol is shit for your brain, liver, and other shit. weed is just for your brain, and helps you relax. it kills brain cells... yeah, but also dead brain cell connections helping free up new ones.

weed>alcohol. 100%

it should be legal in the US

in TS u are such a stoner.

As recreation it does more harm than good. If it is given medically, under the supervision of a Doctor it can help relieve the pain of something like cancer. I am for medical use but against non-medical use.

My bro's mate smokd too much weed, he is now in a mental instution.
Despite what people say, i also know it is addictive, ask anyone thats trying to give it up. You just have to look at people who need it to have fun

its "mentally" addictive; yes. physically like narcotics and meth? no.

but its all the same, people still get withdrawal symptons and 'believe' they need it. The different style of addiction is not really important

I haven't smoked it and probably won't very much but who are you to tell them what they can or can't do? Let them smoke if they want to.

I think it should be legal, but it probably isn't particularly good for you.

In the US, pot is illegal, but alcohol isn't.  How does that make sense?

In order of drugs that should be banned. (Of the lesser kind)

1. Cigarettes (addictiveness over time + ingredients)
2. Alcohol.
3. Marijuana.

weed should come last. no doubt.


And ive never cheefed in my life. Ive been Drunk, and i have smoked cigars....

Alcohol is good for you in small doses.  If you have something like a beer a week, it actually prevents heart attacks.  Weed has no benefit at all.  If you think it does your obviously high.  Just never try it, unless your on your death-bed.  If you don't know what your missing, you won't care to.

Weed has no benefits at all?

That's bollocks. Weed is very, very good for lots of things - many more than alcohol. Do you want links? I can give you hundreds and hundreds of quality reliable links to articles showing the benefits of smoking weed.

On the negative side weed decreases your resistance to mental illness and cannaboid based smoke is about 50% more carcinogenic than nicotine based smoke - that said there has never been a reported case of cannabis use causing lung cancer (although it does cause throat cancer - this could be to do with the added weight of the carcinogenic particulates in cannaboid smoke).

Most seriously effective medical studies involving cannaboids do not involve people smoking pot though. They involve extracting the relevant cannaboid from the cannabis, isolating and refining it to be better.
Much like the difference between chewing willow bark and taking an Asprin.

No, it's bad for you.

Like most things, in modest doses, it has positive effects. The negative effects are much less compared to Alcohol and Tobacco.
