[QUOTE=Mumblecrust;19736974]rofl[/QUOTE] Weeeelllll maaaaan, it gets you sooooo highhhhh maaaaaaan. Not a good reason to use it. I want a legitimate reason for recreational use (medical use is understandable) that isn't a typical stoner's answer.
[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;19736927]I want to ask one question: why is Facepunch so pro-weed?[B]its awesome[/B] There are no benefits to it [B]you get high and everything is 10x [/B] better, theorized disadvantages, [B]like what? killing cancer cells?[/B] and it's a waste of money. [B]a quarter ($35) will last me a month sometimes [/B] Really doesn't have anything positive going for it.[B] besides being fun as shit[/B][/QUOTE] It's a good way to socialize with friends. I don't need it to socialize but when I party, I'll usually smoke so I'm less timid and can meet people.
Illegal as shit also. It may have the potential to kill cancer cells, but I mean recreational use, not medical use. For example, many say marijuana can cause lung damage. I have several health sites I can source this information with. If you claim it does not cause damage, I'd like at least 2 legitimate sources, not fansites or the like, but professional, legitimate sources.
Who cares if it's illegal. It only matters if you're caught. And that's actually a good thing. Now I get to deal weed and make money, as it's illegal.

Of course cannabis causes lung damage. You inhale smoke. If you vaporize it, no more lung damage. Or you can eat it. I'm not worried about lung damage so I just smoke.

I figure I spend about a $1 per high. Not bad right? I don't smoke often enough to damage my lungs permanently sorry. The high lasts about 4 hours. Everything is temporary anyway.
[QUOTE=Loompa Lord;19737155]College.[/QUOTE] So because some idiot stoners in a college who probably won't be successful in life stone themselves out of their minds mean you should too?
[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;19737176]So because some idiot stoners in a college who probably won't be successful in life stone themselves out of their minds mean you should too?[/QUOTE] 90% of collegians smoke weed. You saying 90% of collegians will ultimately fail? After attending college? Many college professors smoke weed.

Perhaps if you got high once every 5 months your lungs wouldn't suffer too greatly, but think of how often you smoke. Whether or not the effects (such as euphoria) are temporary or not does not change the damage it causes. [editline]11:23PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Aaronn;19737201]90% of collegians smoke weed.

[/QUOTE] It's legal risks are exactly why it should be legalized. And there aren't any physical risks. If you don't want smoke damage, you eat it or get a vaporizer. There are admittedly, some mental risks. People with a high risk of psychosis, shouldn't smoke bud
[QUOTE=Mumblecrust;19737297]He's defending what good ol' Officer Johnny told him in D.A.R.E. yesterday.[/QUOTE] You know this kind of comments start a shitstorm. Taunting is bad and this is why you make yourself look bad
[QUOTE=Mumblecrust;19737297]He's defending what good ol' Officer Johnny told him in D.A.R.E. yesterday.[/QUOTE] I'm sure weed will become more and more decriminalized within the next few years. Medicinal Marijuana is spreading like wild fire, like beautiful roses blooming in the sun. Anyway, did you know that Medicinal whiskey was given out during the prohibition, just before it's legalization? Interesting little fact. You'd be surprised what kind of people smoke weed and do other types of drugs. I'm talking average joe people including police officers, ambulance drivers(one of them on FP), and fire fighters. Around 3 million Americans smoke pot on a regular/every day basis. (this number doesn't include occasional smokers.)

Dude, you smoke weed, good, but when I come with an argument don't go batshit insane becuase is anti-weed. Can't you accept some facts? Yes, I do recognize cannabis as a medicinal plant, that's why it has been legalised in some countries/states [editline]11:37PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Aaronn;19737453]You filled up the thread with pointless spam yesterday sillywilly :3:[/QUOTE] Okay....

[editline]11:29PM[/editline] What a moronic excuse for an insult.[/QUOTE] I don't know if you know this yet, but there are risks for just about everything. Driving has both physical and legal risks, you could get in a wreck and injure yourself or get a speeding ticket. Eating has risks, you can get fat, and your general health depends on what you eat. I can go on forever. Just because something has some health risks doesn't mean it's such a horrible thing. Let people enjoy what they want, your constant repetition of the same argument is not changing anyone's minds. Coming from your attitude, you must not like taking any kind of risks, sitting around being a "law abiding model citizen" usually won't get you far. (No, not risks as in drugs, risks as in everyday life kind of risks, investment risks, protesting for your rights, etc.)
everybody knows that if you smoke marijuana you get to have conversations with your dog, let your friends dress you and sink into the couch. above the influence commercials said so.
Gmod_fan77, what are you doing? You've never smoked weed before yet you're coming in here and preaching about it, I don't go into the furry forum and claim fucking dogs is bad for your health, because I've never tried it. I couldn't care less about the [I]minor[/I] health issues it [I]MIGHT[/I] cause in my medium use of it, I do it because I enjoy it, and like it or not it will be legal in our lifetime, by then hopefully you'll realize what a tart you were, go fight something worth fighting. You sound like such a child using the old "hey if I spell like a moron in reference to the other side's argument, i'll look smarter!" seriously, grow up and smell the herb, nobody gives a fuck, we'll all die one day and I for one plan on enjoying it with whatever minor drugs I can.
