And my speelin may be off due to thee touch screen tABLet i am using. Lets tone it dowwn beefore this becomees an argument. My ddrink of choice was absinthe. Any1 else?
That's what I'm talkin about.beer and pizza then roll a joint and call.it a night
"I am a regular pot smoker and drinker, but I can see this from both sides of the fence.
It's all about balance. I smoke pot, but not so much that if I have to go a few weeks without I 'can't cope', same way I drink but have never been drunk. It's when you do things in excess that it becomes a problem. I have a lot of self control for a teenager, and I don't care if my friends think I spoil the fun.
To be honest, alcohol is a lot more problematic than cannabis- it is a depressant and a diuretic. It kills your liver and I've seen people do FAR MORE crazy stupid things under the influence of booze than whilst high.
Cannabis has been used for its beneficial properties for like 1000 years or something (trying to answer this post without touching google) It is a powerful analgesic and is used to treat everything from depression to impotence. Probably why you can get medical marijuana, or medication with active ingredients derived from cannabis. I personally use it because I chill out or feel giggly when I'm high, it helps me sleep (different strains have different effects) helps with my chronic joint pain and pms etc... I also enjoy the taste, smell and ritual of smoking it. Well, it's better than smoking tobacco. I do smoke tobacco to de-stress, mostly because it's actually legal for me to do so. Most people do get addicted to tobacco, whereas cannabis is not addictive.
You hear cannabis being described as a gateway drug, but in total honesty I can say most of my friends and I are quite happy smoking weed. Really I think alcohol messes people up far worse. Maybe if cannabis was legalized we would have less drug-related crime. More people would would light up one joint and feel happy rather than spending an entire night drowning their sorrows. More people would stay at home and smoke a bowl privately rather than go binge drinking as a social thing and end up drink-driving? Less people would smoke tobacco (which they often do as a marijuana replacement). Cigarettes are full of nasty chemicals. I still feel that even hand-rolled cigarettes have more 'dirty crap' in them than pure marijuana.

Not really kid. This is an age old topic, you're just old enough to notice. Almost everyone knows and agrees that cannabis is good for you, and alcohol is bad. I don't know who your trying to convince, I think everyone will agree that cannabis should be legal since alcohol is. But neither were a gateway for me, although I use both frequently. I have control tho.every one post your opinions this is a very controversial topic
