[quote][quote]Things worse than death? So are you saying that addiction is worse than death? Well I've never seen anyone addicted to marijuana. Again old antiquated thinking. If someone uses marijuana and gets addicted to something else you guys love to call it a "gateway" drug. I love this one. If you have addictive personality you will have problems with anything you get your hands on. You people just make marijuana out to be the one that started it all for them When in fact it could be anything from booze to Dr. Prescribed opiates.[/quote] You love speaking for others dont you? I have not said a single damn thing you are trying to argue against. Pot only does 2 negative things. 1. It changes your personality: you can tell within 5 minutes of talking to someone if they are a pothead. I will not go into the details but a lack of motivation to do anything is one common thing. There is also a difference between being a pothead and sometimes doing pot its all in the amount. 2. It kills brain cells: this reduces your IQ, attention span, and memory. Not by a whole lot but it does happen. These are the facts. Weigh the risks and rewards and decide for yourself if getting high for no reason is worth it. And If you want to get into a morality discussion "getting high or doing anything to feel pleasure for pleasures sake" is wrong by definition (thats fact but you can easily argue that morality doesnt matter) but lets not get into that here. Seriously though dont bother commenting on that I am not getting into that discussion. Anything that changes who you are is worse than death parkinsons disease is one example. Is pot that bad? No, I never said it was. You are just taking things other people say and assuming I will say them as well instead of actually reading my words. EDIT and pot is far more addictive than alcohol.[/quote] That's all propaganda and you can read about this frankly anywhere. I'm not gonna sit here writing essays on things widely accepted by scientists worldwide[spoiler]and not politicians, imagine that! [/spoiler]. Of course it changes people? If I smoke I could be thrown into a dungeon and ruin my entire life, so to enjoy it smokers hide away. That's your faulty system and propaganda working, not the pot itself- for instance you could replace pot with anything there and achieve the same effects. Your argument is extremely outdated and ignorant.

Yes pot is more of a mental issue. But its very hard to actually become an alcoholic (again thats a loose definition but I hope you understand the basic idea of what I am trying to say) It takes more alcohol to become addicted physically or mentally than it takes somebody to become addicted to pot whether physically or mentally. If you think otherwise feel free to say but I doubt you will convince me otherwise based on what I have read and heard in various places. However again alcohols effects are far more pronounced.

Then you are not a pothead and have done just enough to not have noticable issues. I dont think you are in the majority. But if you do it everyday it can cause issues. Its all in the amount. And some people have more willpower than others in regards to being able to quit.
