I am simply curious as to what the more popular reasons are for people who are against the use of cannabis.
So if you are against it, what is your reason?
-
Because I am a forklift. And I cannot smoke it
-
I am not (ps I am a pastors kid) I think it could have beneficial used in medicine
-
I'm not looking to join in the argument, just answering the question Personally I think the entire debate is -Blam-ing stupid because people on both sides will bring forth all kinds of stupid unfounded claims like fake statistics and crap to support their side. All I can say for sure is that I've know people who smoke to escape their crappy reality because "I had to".
-
It's a gateway drug, and that is unarguable.
-
We already have dangerous drugs already legal. Nicotine, alcohol and caffeine. We don't need a gateway drug added.
-
Medicinal cannibals can help in several ways and tends to be safe for use. Weed is a very mild halocinagen and really just gives a really good feeling to its user, downside is that it raises your heart rate a lot and can cause long lasting damage because of that. So as for if it should be illegal I would say for medicinal use yes, for recreational use no.
-
Weed makes life more illusive/unreal. At a higher consciousness, life is already more detached so, weed makes it feel even more disconnected to the physical realm, one should stay grounded instead of high, grounding to earth is much more relaxing. Anyway the plant should be legal tho, it can have many uses like paper, furniture, etc..
-
Ever try and have a meaningful conversation with a burnout? Don't get me wrong, I love my pothead friends, but they can't finish a sentence without asking me what they were just talking about.

Edited by DarthBrando: 10/17/2015 1:55:05 PMOk first here; This is why weed is illegal; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_history_of_cannabis_in_the_United_States https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=criminalization+of+marijuana&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ved=0CBoQgQMwAGoVChMI29SLysPJyAIVxVU-Ch3MwgKV http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/dope/etc/cron.html http://www.drugpolicy.org/blog/how-did-marijuana-become-illegal-first-place http://www.drugwarrant.com/articles/why-is-marijuana-illegal/ That should cover [b][i][u]every angle[/u][/i][/b] It has [b][i][u]nothing to do with smoking it[/u][/i][/b] It was first made illegal in 1930s-1940s due to the fact a few monopolies and the [b][i][u]entire oil industry[/u][/i][/b] feared the plant's natural and freely available and easily obtainable resource uses; Would threaten their products use and necessities and that marijuana would then replace their products uses in our industrialized world. So they ran a smear campaign of propaganda and lobbied congress to get the plant criminalized and prohibited. This worked so well that almost 85+ years later [b][i][u]people still believe it is illegal due to it being an addictive controlled intoxicant[/u][/i][/b] Yes it gets you high; Guess what; [b][i][u]unlike the reporting of the federal commission on the war on drugs; it is NOT ADDICTIVE and has nearly no negative side effects when consumed properly; you CANT even overdose on it! [/u][/i][/b] Also the plant has a [b][i][u]multitude[/u][/i][/b] of functional [b][i][u]industrial USES[/u][/i][/b] original post says [b][i][u]USE[/u][/i][/b] not [b][i][u]Smoking[/u][/i][/b] Stop being sheep believing in lies told for 80 [b][i][u]DAMN YEARS[/u][/i][/b] by the monopolies, the oil industry, the commission started by president Ronald Regan of The War Against Drugs! [b][i][u]ITS ALL PROPAGANDA AND SPINN[/u][/i][/b] FURTHERMORE; [b][i][u]nearly every single Rx prescription drug [/u][/i][/b] is [b][i][u]addictive[/u][/i][/b] and has [b][i][u]severely bad side effects[/u][/i][/b] and [b][i][u]you can overdose and die from most of them[/u][/i][/b] So please; Stop thinking weed means 420 and Smoke or cancer medicine only Fact is [b][i][u]from your clothes to paper to the fuel AND lubricants in any piece of heavy machinery[/u][/i][/b]---> all of those can be made from or run on by a cheap as F*ck plant [b][i][u]ANY ONE[/u][/i][/b] could grow in their back yard! (Also the declaration of independence and US constitution are written on [b][i][u]HEMP PAPER![/u][/i][/b]) Edit; People who smoke weed and turn into lazy stupid dumb scumbags do that because of their lifestyle and life choices; its not due to weed; they would end up listening to junk music and being lazy scrubs even with out the weed; Stop blaming weed for that pls

Edited by Jurassic_Wow: 10/17/2015 11:38:44 PMIt can be addicting. Addiction in any form is never good. It sucks to be addicted to anything. It becomes a mental need. It hooks you really quickly too.
-
Cuz i injected five marijuanas and my dick fell off.
-
It becomes a dominant factor of people's lives.
-
Because meth is better.
-
I'm against it because it's scientifically proven that long term use will dull your mind and make you stupid. Also short time use causes 65% of car crashes.
-
I'm not. Becuz I'm mlg
-
Medical standards are on their way to including study of the endocannibinoid system. We need cannibinoids for our health.
-
People just need to get with the times. It should be federally legal, and whichever state wants it to be illegal should have a vote to [i]illegalize[/i] it.
-
Because I'm not twelve.
-
Have I been here before?
-
Cause it's narsty

Edited by DarthBrando: 10/17/2015 4:08:02 PM[quote]Bump; [b][i][u]for the love of all that is good; Please READ the linked resources here BEFORE posting either way about weed being good or bad; The resources detail why its illegal and the google scholarly articles explain the MYTHS surrounding it; and what is myth vs what is fact [/u][/i][/b][/quote] (Regarding this post and links in it; https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/163762781/0/0/1 ) Here is a link to a medical journal containing references to a few DOZEN medical publications; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/pdf/1477-7517-2-21.pdf

I think it is just as damaging as alcohol if overused. That said, why the -blam!- is it illegal if its as damaging as something that is legal? Why the -blam!- are we throwing guys in prison over it? It's not like we're doing that because we're concerned for their health. Because we're basically throwing them to the wolves to be harmed and abused by the inmates who really deserve to be locked up.
-
IT KILLS YOU IF YOU USE IT TO MUCH, and it's sad to see a person slowly destroy themselves by Overusing it. :(.... That's All.
-
I'm against tomato ketchup
-
My friend injected 3 marijuanas and died instantly :(
-
Your lungs would be better off without it.
