Marijuana and you...

Personally, and without much evidence to support my view, I believe marijuana has the same capability to ruin someone's life as Xbox. It is possible, but takes a good deal of carelessness and irresponsibility.

Good point but those 2 things go together so well.Get a few ppl together,blaze a quarter and play Mario Kart. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/idea.gif.5acb6a39a9b92425414c316dda202bad.gif

I hate to be annoyingly precise but marijuana and Xbox have no more ruined anyone's life than a .38 special has taken someone's life, a pencil has answered wrong on someone's math test or, a fork has forced one into obesity.

People ruin people's lives. Some people do it with drugs, some with guns, some with cards or dice, some with prostitutes and/or dangerous ****** encounters.

Anything and everything can be the tool one uses to destroy himself but no thing can do the job.

i have grown up around marijuana and many other drugs. after knowing hundreds of smokers nd with swim using it since 11 years old. i can tell you pot it how you take it, it can ruin your life and I've seen it many times, but if used correctly it can enhance your life. pot is a gateway drug due to the illegal market only.

To me this subject is about freedom of choice and being able to decide for yourself.

The first time I saw an M.S. Patient with severe uncontrollable tremors get high and watched his tremors subside to the point where he could write his name in perfect cursive and hold a glass to his lips and take a drink without help and without spilling a drop I was simply amazed and from that point I knew it was medicine.....

It hurts me to know that this relief he can only find through cannabis is denied to him..

He's just told to keep taking the pharmaceuticals that don't help him and live with the pain and loss of motor control when there is a medicine that works great for him.

All laws violate freedom of choice

I guess I will just address certain interesting points. To the person that said it only helps you sleep, or with severe anxiety, perhaps try different strains. Even the same strain can affect a person differently. I have only recently gotten into keeping up with strains I have used, but have found what to use for the appropriate situation. As far as having to be extremely self controlled, I believe that goes for any type of medical product. Whether it be pain pills, marijuana, or even vitamin K. Too many vitamins will kill you a lot faster than too much marijuana. Though, I see the point when it comes to smoking before work or being active. At that point, one must use judgement and common sense.
I personally would love to see it legalized as people like myself can stop feeling like criminals when we are simply trying to improve our quality of life. I personally have several things that cannabis helps with: ADD(as contraversial as it may be, it actually helps me focus after smoking small quantities), back pain, frequent headaches as well as occasional anxiety.

Just like anything in life, though it takes self restraint and control. Just go to McDon's and people watch, you can eat the same **** *** food twice a day for 10 years swell up, and die if you have no self control and ****, it's all the same imo. I also think that having any sort of reason or need to do any sort of intoxicant, weather it be OTC/prescription drugs, alcohol, or them budz. I smoke because I enjoy it and I am at a place in my life where I can burn and it doesn't directly affect my daily life, such as carry fake **** around cause of random drug tests. I know plenty of people who do that ish though.

If cig's and alch are legal, there's no way Marijuana shouldn't be. A lot of people are just ******* retarded and believe all the **** they've been told and blindly follow along with what they're told is right.

That is what I was getting at with my statement. It is not the tool, but the one taking action. On the topic of firearms, that is another thing I feel strongly about. I guess it is just further proof that I am pro Libertarian.

maybe lol, but you cannot deny what is clear to my eye. i was only speaking on pot, as stated many things can ruin and/or enhance your life. its all on the own individual, how you were raised, who you hang with, where you grew up. every little encounter you have on a day to day basis has the oppurtunity to screw ya up or help you out.

i come from a family of smokers. dad, mom, uncles, and aunts. neither side grandparents have ever smoked but yet they say they would rather be around 100 stoners rather than 1 drunk. i was raised to question everything whether it may be true or not always ask questions, my parents taught me about marijuana when i was 10 although they never smoked around me till later teen years i have turned out pretty well.Working 40+ hours doing what im going to school for, im 2 classes away from my associates degree, graduated high school with a scholarship, played football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer, got my first legit job when i 14, longest ive went inbetween jobs is 2 weeks at the most. and ive been a smoker since i was 13, grant it i didnt smoke like i do now but still, im a very productive person. i mean no harm to anyone unless you mess with me first. for our government to classify marijuana a class 1 narcotic is ridiculous and is nothing more than them protecting big wig companies like your pharmaceutical companies or building material companies, why do you think moonshine is illegal?? because YOU can make it in your yard or barn and there is no way for the government to track and make their billions of profits off of it, same reason why mary is illegal i can grow that **** in my yard, house **** anywhere! you cant make mother nature illegal! but our government is surly trying their hardest! ive never once been smoking mary jane and said hey lets go smoke some meth or crack, for people to say it is a gateway drug are also very very weak people, like previously stated addiction starts with the person not the object or thing.
