Props for this, I quit smoking three months ago to try to find a job and I personally can't wait to have some stability in my life so I can spark up again  | ||

Nature made us the way we are because we work. and to the people that say 'Its not as bad as some other drugs,' you are stupid dumb asses. buying marijuana means that you are in contact with a drug dealers. you will always be constantly pressured to try newer harder drugs and if you are high at the time you 'dont really care,' so you might buy them. i really thought the world of orb, i listened to him casting the korean weekly for the semis and the finals (including the mute game :/) and when he said he had made his 5000th post i was genually excited as i thought it was going to be something with great substance to it. however i come to find that it is a blog about weed. TL.net is THE goto place for starcraft news and everything that is starcraft. having a post that is seen on the side saying "Cannabis and you! A newbies guide" it is NOT acceptable. now i understand that my view is going to be seen as an ignorant asshole that has never done anything and to you i say, stfu i can say what i want. User was warned for this post | ||

Now ever time I get the urge to start again I think that I wont and do it again, but then it happens!.... Anyone else had this problem or what I can do to get over it? Usually you get paranoid when you're really high, but it's totally reversible. I'm never paranoid during working hours. | ||

I find it absolutely comical that people are worried about me promoting a drug that is (relatively speaking) safe because kids might see it. Have you people never watched TV? There are beer (and used to be tobacco too) commercials all the time.. How is this any worse? To everyone who posted a response that wasn't straight propaganda/hearsay based bashing, thank you <3 It was relatively disingenuous to list a comparison between cannibis and other drugs First I feel some perspective on things needs to be added. Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine(tobacco), and over-the-counter medications are all drugs. The government might not label them as scheduled/dangerous drugs due to lobbyists/etc, but they are just as much drugs as cannabis is. Most are actually much more addictive and dangerous than cannabis. If you already use one or more of the drugs listed, yet you have a negative stigma towards cannabis due to it being labeled by the government as a dangerous drug, I'd advise you drop any negative attitude about cannabis, forget everything you learned about it in school, and research it on the internet with an open mind. and not drop one word about the illegality of owning some (being caught with certain number of grams on it) or of using it publically. Or at least, no mention of relative odds about getting caught and possible consequences. Say what you want about Caffeine (I am a recreational drug user when it comes to that), but it will rarely land you in trouble with law enforcement. Call it all due to lobbyists pressure. Call it non dangerous. Label others as negative nancies. But don't omit the possible negative result of something on your record and jail time. Make a day of it and list all the reasons you aren't in trouble with law enforcement (Medical Marijuana in your state? Laws limiting prosecution? So many people do it that the odds are on your side?). Just see a one-sided discussion of cannibis vs caffeine, alcohol etc in a post that purports to discuss the negative as well as the positive. EDIT: Grammar | ||

Regardless, I get the impression from daily users that it can easily become quite a problem. I do think it should be legalised (along with a lot of other "drugs"). I know this chart is probably bandied around everywhere, but it's quite useful to get the big picture: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.atomiclemon.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/drug-chart.gif) PS, MDMA is amazing! | ||

Yeah, I`ve been smoking weed for several years now on daily basis, but just few days ago was the first time I overdosed (if you can say such thing about weed) and became so paranoid, that I threw away a month supply of weed in the toilet, because I was sure cops are coming to get me :D | ||

What the fuck even is this? Half of your sentences don't even make any sense, 'Nature made us the way we are because we work' what!? I have never had a dealer try and pressure me into doing anything that I didn't want to do, infact almost all of the ones I have spoken to have been genuinely nice people. Most people who deal marijuana only deal marijuana because to anyone who has experienced it or people on it it seems like the most benign substance imaginable. You haven't actually suggested any downsides to it, only that you'll be pressured into harder drugs. So you're basically saying Marijuana is fine if you're intelligent enough to make your own decisions about what you want to do and don't cave in to non-existant pressure from the big scary 'drug dealers' 'Drugs are not good for you in any way possible' did you even read the post? everything we see as normal like alcohol and paracetamol and aspirine is a fucking drug it's just labeled legal or illegal and you have based your opinion off of that not from actual information. And why isn't this acceptable, all orb has done is set out some of the information necessary for you to make your own decision. This is the most ignorant post I have seen on TL so far, you clearly don't know anything about the subject matter so I don't know why you bothered posting. | ||

Im not pointing fingers at anyone here, and im not one to lob shit at a fan, but i feel like alot of burnouts would still be burnouts without weed. i think alot of people blame their problems on weed instead of realizing fault in themselves. that being said theres a difference between drug use and drug abuse. if you smoke an ounce a day, you will damage yourself. its really that simple. if you eat Mcdonalds 3 times a day, you will get fat and die.strangely enough, i dont see anyone whining about the ills of fast food....and fast food is praised plenty on TL and elsewhere on the internet. i mean who doesn't like onion rings. anyways, when it comes down to it, everyone needs to use their own discretion. Even kids. everyone whos saying that kids dont already have access to worse shit than this on the internet is either deluded, lying, or simply ignorant of 4chan. Ps: i feel that if there is some kind of problem with kids having access to this kind of information, that the parents of that kid have the responsibility to withhold access to it. This seems a bit more logical than asking the big bad information to go away. that feels a little too Stalinesque for me. PPS: regarding the illegality issue: Of course you must be aware of the consequences your actions may have. this is true of anything. If you dont feel like the risk is worth the gain, then more power too you, no one can question a decision like that. at the same time , if one studies the risks, weighs them against what they stand to gain, and decide to take the leap, then no one can blame them for coming to that conclusion. PPPS: forgive me for my wordiness. its just how i get things out | ||
