I’ll vote no just because of the choices. For me I personally don’t like to be high and had plenty of experience when I was younger. but who am I do judge others who do. There are so many different reasons why people use Cannabis. Some use for recreation, some for meds and some for no reason at all.
I think stereotyping any group is wrong and unfair. Imagine if the Local Drinking population was treated and judged the same. Just because a couple has a few cocktails a day, I would never think them to be alcoholics and assume they Beat their spouses or dumber then those who don’t drink. That’s how a lot of these views on Cannabis sound and again I say a bit “archaic” Last edited by Dionysos; 10-06-2019 at 02:25 PM. |

My good friend has lip cancer from smoking cigars. It all has risks obviously. I enjoy a good cigar and scotch from time to time but accept that is has some consequences. We are no different then some who enjoys a joint and a beer.

Nope. Much prefer a glass of good wine.

I too had a friend that enjoyed "safe" cigars, he ended up with tongue cancer at 42 and it was so painful he took his life. No one knows what pesticides are used on those cigars, remembering paraquat.

I would use it if legal. But probably not smoke it. I would prefer to use it orally, topically or some other method. I just don't care for the smell of want the smoke in my lungs.

I completely agree.

As school administrator seen way too many potentially bright engaged students loose all interest in building a career, going to college or trade school, and eventually just "drifted" through life, contributed nothing to family and community. A few "woke up" along the way, but so many did go on to other drugs and greater risk. Just say "no" really never worked, those who wish of experience altered states are free to do so, including alcohol. To each their own. Many alcoholics and other drug classification addicts, have become wildly successful. It's a gamble and a matter of personal choice. I am also sorry to see cell phone use while driving so seldom enforced, and add MJ to an already out of control driving under the influence problem, we'll never see relief in auto insurance rates with the never ending rise of accidents and deaths.

I would divide them as lotus eaters or perhaps wanna be lotus eaters versus responsible, hard working, achieving folks.

Sounds like you are describing meth heads or crack users. I have quite a few friends who use cannabis and they are highly successful. One a CEO of a Fortune 500 company and a couple who’s net worth is quite large. So putting them in a non “achieving” category is just plain ignorant. I am sure there are 1000’s of examples that would prove you wrong. Don't Judge Someone Just Because They Sin Differently Than You Do!

Some people are predisposed to becoming addicted, which often effects their lives in a negative way. Curious as to why you quit? |
