I don't drink, smoke or take an alchohol. I dislike the image, the actual products, what it does to you and how it's affected my uncle. And i'm hopefully never going to try them.
Hmm... this creates an interesting situation- I agree with you on every point but I myself am a smoker, and unapologetic about it.Phlakes said:[sub]Shh... Don't tell them, they don't like it when you use the medical facts...[/sub]
But really. If you don't sugar-coat your opinion, someone will flame you. I've said that multiple times on here and always gotten someone going "Well that's just propaganda, smoking isn't that bad, I haven't had any negative effects, you're being controlled by the government," which I wanted to avoid this time. What I really meant was "There's no way in hell I'm wasting my money and health to feel nice and get addicted."
Eh your half right there- theres alot of conflicting evidence about the negative effects of weed, and ultimately its no more harmful then alcohol, but there is a vast amount of what amounts to little more then scare tactics and propaganda which heavily overstates the negative.Mimsofthedawg said:And then you tell people they have an addiction problem and they say, "Nah! Marijuana isn't addicting!"
Well then why don't you stop using it for a month? "Because man, I need it for a good time [and/or insert bogus claim here]."
ANY psychologist will tell you that it's possible to get addicted to ANYthing that alters the chemical composition of the brain in certain ways.
And then you tell them that, even list endless sources that warn about the negative effects of such a drug, and they respond "Oh, that's a government website." or something like that.
Ung... You can't win with these people. At any rate, I don't do drugs, and like the person above, I find them a total waste.
