The cannabis debate

[version]

but people are sometimes generally ok or unaware of that right? like potheads always have had that rep of being "lazy" and weed characterizes people as that in the slow speaking way, and its shown in film.... or do you mean that people try to get addicts unaddicted because they are lazy? so its usually others trying to stop someone's addiction rather than a person wanting to stop their own addcition?

Yeah, some people can function fine. It varies from person. You just asked what the potential downsides were, so I told you.

As for the other question/questions, again, it varies. Some people realise it's doing them no good and decide they don't want to do it anymore, others have people around them who have to point it out to them. Whether they stop or continue after that's down to them.

money prob is an issue... because if you smoke a lot of weed, and you arent doing anything then you prob arent making more money to buy more weed

Some get around this by making their money selling weed.

i went through a phase of those. the one i had was reusable, a vape pen, you get these little thc cartridges and that's the bit you need to replace, not the pen itself. dunno if they're all like this coz these cartridges were from a dispensary but one or two puffs was enough. the number of people i'd give it to and say 'this is pretty strong don't smoke too much', who then immediately took a massive toke and then threw up or had to go home, was.....well idk. about three people. i had a lovely time for about a year smoking those in the bath. it did make my day to day less stable though. it's not that compatible with keeping your head screwed on tight. which is either the downside or the point depending. a lot of ways of life don't need you to have your head screwed on tight.

passed a homeless man in dc with a sign that said "sativa and coffee, my only escape"... our society is in shambles

Version's totally right, who wants to be a vegetable? And even if you've stopped after using it for a long time and come out of it relatively OK, or if you still continue to use it but 'function' on a day-to-day basis, who knows what more you could have been if you'd never touched it in the first place? I can't see any real upside to it in the long term.

Has anyone ever become more intelligent, enlightened, interesting, healthier, active, sociable or attractive from smoking weed?

 

[Benny Bunter]

But at least weed doesn't give you a baggy bumhole

 

[Benny Bunter]

OUTED!

all the "baggy bumble" tags are down to @Benny Bunter

Nope, not guilty your honour, though I'd love to take the credit. Hadn't even seen that tag till about half an hour ago.

Has anyone ever become more intelligent, enlightened, interesting, healthier, active, sociable or attractive from smoking cigarettes and downing multiple alcohol-laden beverages?

i think that whole vaping thing will turn out to be much more dangereous as regular smoking it just looks and feels so weird and superficial. i am also hearing more and more stories of toxic chemicals in vapes or it being spiked with other drugs. see for example: https://www.theguardian.com/society...ed-at-english-schools-spiked-with-zombie-drug

in the name of harm reduction, if people are vaping random unregulated carts with grim carrying agents then, yes, any number of issues may arise

fortunately, the finest convection current vapourisers are near you with no carrier agent muck just low heat and air
