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?
-
Cause crack is better
-
I'm not, I believe it should be legalized with the same age restrictions attributed to alcohol. I actually would be alright with the legalization of most currently illegal drugs. If people want to wreck their bodies with the harsher ones, fine by me. I wouldn't touch any of the stuff, but i'm not bothered if others do.
-
Making something illegal only drives up the price

I don't give a shit, really. Smoke pot. It's your life. I've smoked my fair share. Did psychedelics as well. Who am I to judge? One thing I do find peculiar is that peeps still believe pot kills your brain cells. Cannabinoids interact with receptors in your brain, to be sure. But they don't 'kill' your brain cells. They do have minute to somewhat significant lasting effects on developing brains as with any substance that is psychoactive depending on how often they're used. Starving your brain of oxygen, however, will definitely kill brain cells. Which is what occurred in the most significant and memorable study to suggest that marijuana alone has that effect. (Those poor chimps) It's w/e. With time, and the rising acceptance of marijuana, more research will be conducted and people will become better informed.

It's breathing tar
-
Insufficient regulation
-
Waste of money. Quite possible that you would be getting something mixed in as well- can't really trust dealers
-
I'm against the recreational use of any substance that alters your state of mind. This includes alcohol as well. Marijauna has a medicinal use, so use it for that.

Im not and its almost 4:20 roll em up fellas

Edited by KiriOboeru: 4/8/2015 8:19:02 PMSome people like to lean on it when they're having a rough time. They make excuses to use. "I have anxiety" or "It helps with my anger problems" well work on them instead of using a drug! x) I know people also do the same with alcohol, but it's bad either way. Also it smells absolutely terrible and can ruin your chances of getting hired.

Anything that alters a state of mind and changes a person I'm not particularly fund of.

Gonna get high as a kite on 4/20

*assuming you are real*

I'm not. While it definitely has very bad side effects and causes permanent damage, it's really not much worse than smoking cigarettes in that aspect. If that's a sacrifice you are willing to make, then who is anybody to stop you? Driving while high is just as bad as driving while drunk, and alcohol is legal, so it's really the responsibility of the user to avoid that situation. The revenue and stimulation of the economy is a much better alternative to arresting pot smokers for non-violent drug violations. I think pot is very mild for an illegal drug, and in some aspects, it's not worse than substances that are already legal. I live in Colorado, so it doesn't really matter to me anyways :P
-
I'm pretty much always against weed, like it's either in my pocket or I'm holding it... No real reason for being against it all the time other than I have a few very reliable sources and all my friends smoke weed
-
It kills brain cells and hurts organs. That's why I don't like any other drugs, cigarettes or alcohol. But if u do it, I don't care. Just don't offer any to me please
-
I'm not. I've had horrible, unbearable obsessive anxiety since I was younger, made significantly worse by the near death of a close family member. Dabbling in marijuana once in a great while gets rid of it almost completely.
-
Because it's a gateway drug and leads people to harder worse drugs
-
I don't particularly care if people smoke weed or not. Personally I just don't like it.
-
I don't believe in smoking weed myself for religious reasons but I support your right to do whatever the hell you want to do as long as you are not infringing on the rights of anyone else. I believe in the non aggression axiom and find the war drugs to not only violate that but find it morally deplorable and counter effective.
-
I'm not against it, I'm just body checking it.
-
It makes me unproductive and ruins my diet. If I smoke it too often I get depression. Love being high, but I've had to give it up lately.
-
I'm not. But I've noticed my memory getting worse after smoking regularly haha
-
Because inhaling smoke is bad
-
Realistically people shouldn't smoke weed until they are 24. Up to around that point your brain us still developing and it will cause permanent irreversible changes in your brain. But realistically Marijuana is safer than alcohol and has so many medical applications it really baffles scientists. It's unlike anything else we have ever seen in western medicine.
