Often? I can't say I've ever seen anyone ruin their lives over pot, but I know people that smoke it far more than has got to be healthy.Macbeth wrote:

Be careful, someone's gonna accuse you of lying or say something like "omg it wasn't the pot"Macbeth wrote:
I have seen in my day many people who had ruined themselves by choosing to smoke pot over work or school. I have seen people do highly irrational things while on the stuff. I have seen many people do irrational things for it. I have seen people jump from pot to other things. Personally I hate pot but my views on personal freedom stop me from calling for the death of all users.
Just because some idiots abuse it does not mean that the millions of sensible ppl should be denied it. Some idiot killed someone who pissed them off in WOW. Should we ban it? Someone drunk drives over a young child and his mother, should we ban booze? It goes on and on..........Macbeth wrote:

guis, don't smoke marijuana. it will jeopardize your future of having sexMYTH: There are no long-term consequences to marijuana use.
FACT: Research shows that kids who smoke marijuana engage in risky behavior that can jeopardize their futures, like having sex, getting in trouble with the law, or losing scholarship money. Marijuana can also hurt academic achievement and puts kids at risk for depression and anxiety.

The biggest problem I have with that is that you can drink alcohol in the same room as me without affecting me, but if you smoke it does. My residence at university this year reeked of weed the entire year and I hated it. I really see no point in making it legal.DeathBecomesYu wrote:
I know that it can be said about almost anything taken in excess, maybe it should be treated like alcohol. Legal to use but don't drive under the influence or have it exposed publicly or laws similar to alcohol. I have seen people mess up their lives with alcohol, with pot, with prescription drugs, with adultery, with video game addiction, so I understand both sides of the argument.
I wonder how much weed he smoked during training. Have a safe ride home.Pubic wrote:

Look at my next paragraph after the one quoted above....I totally agree with you. Some people in here claim if it is done in the privacy, behind their own doors that it is their business. I agree to a point, but if you have family then you do affect much more than yourself. I was lucky that I didn't have college room mates like yours. I'm on the fence on making it legal or not. Personally, I am against it but I can see both sides. Personally it has done so much damage to people I personally know that I would not make it legal but I am not in a position to do much about it except warn others of what could happen.Winston_Churchill wrote:
