Poop What is Chiefsplanet's take on marijuana? - Page 20

KCChiefsMan · 03-06-2010, 07:01 PM

This is purely out of curiosity. I'm just wandering what the majority here think about marijuana.

Do you think it's good or bad for adults to smoke it?

Do you think it's harmful in our society?

Do you think it should be illegal?

If you think it should be kept illegal, what are your reasons for that?

What reasons do you think it is currently illegal for?

poll coming

Because they don't have a tolerance for alcohol.

No, they weren't. One of them was me.

I've heard this. That's why I just use a medium size trash can to fix my drink in so that I limit it to one a day.

You simply can't compare the two as they also have different effects. Pot makes most peaceful and happy while booze may make people hot-headed and depressed.

Of course it boils down to consumption I agree.

The bottomline is, they both take you out of your sober state of mind no matter the differences in effects.

Look at some of you guys man, it took me 4 or 5 joints before I got high. YAY! LOL

Why do people do it to begin with? One of the reasons I believe is because they get a kick out of it. Ever see those people who laugh at everything that comes there way when they smoke up? Thats the weed doing its work. Thats the brains way of interpreting stuff a lot differently than when sober..simply put chemical reactions are taking place in the body which in turn alter your state of mind. That appies to interpretation of things and how you think.

Guess what? In a FREE SOCIETY, people should have CHOICES. You could still choose to say no, even if was decriminalized. Just because something is legalized doesn't mean you have to partake. Who are you to DICTATE to OTHERS, what THEY CHOOSE for themselves? Live your life, let others do the same.

Look at big Pharma, then get back to me. I'm sure none of their synthetic drugs have chemical reactions, do they?

You're reaching because you have no concept of freedom or the way big pharma and alcohol helped pass legislature, to look out for their own interests.

Yes. Some people have greater mental capacity than others. That's what I said.

I still have no idea what point you're trying to make here though. You're talking in circles.

I think his point is that pot get you high.

Well from a health standpoint.

Alcochol - causes liver damage,leads to stroke/heart attacks, leads to diabetes and hurts your immune system

Cigarettes - causes lung damage, cancer, strokes, heart disease and other respiratory problems.

Marijuana - may cause some respiratory issues, but other than that, this drug is pretty much harmless to the body.

Yet the first 2 are legal and causes thousands more deaths per year. And to be honest I dont know of too many instances where smoking too much pot can kill you....unlike the first 2.

Brock · 03-08-2010, 02:21 PM

You can eat pot or vaporize it and you don't even have the smoking issue to contend with.

Guys like you and me grow things in the garden and like doing it, so it isn't "work" to us. Some people are simply lazy and will go to the store for anything. Sort of like canning. It is easy to can tomatoes for the winter, but most people dont because they can buy them at the store.

I see your point. Makin what you consume just seems 2nd nature to me.

Country boys can survive doesnt apply to everyone.

I need to get out more.

Im not dictating what others should choose for themselves, Im just stating one of the reasons why I believe some people do it.

The point Im trying to make is that when I smoke the drug I get paranoid. When I don't smoke the drug, not so much. Why is that?

You have difficulties dealing with anxiety and fear. The MJ is simply a catalyst for this feeling, not the cause.
