why that was nice

I dont smoke weed but i hate when everyone calls it a gateway drug. Of course someone is going to most likely try weed first, its cheap safe and 100% harmless.
Who do you know that has ever shot up some heroin or snorted a line the first time the tried anything?

Most of the people that I know that tried harder stuff after trying weed were mainly doing it because they got in trouble for weed and the other shit gets out of your system quicker.......

Also, why isn't alcohol considered the gateway drug? I am not saying that alcohol is any better or worse than weed, but I know alot of people that drink almost every night and it shows more of a loss of productivity. I once watched a show that was on how bad weed is for you. One guy that was interviewed was in jail and he said he had been an alcoholic since he was 14 and started smoking weed when he was 15. He then proceeded to say that he wished he would have never done weed and that it was the gateway.......

---------------------------------------------------

I have smoked green off and on since like 8th grade when I first tried it. By no means is it physically addictive. I didn't smoke for a couple years when I first started college. Only other thing I have tried is mushrooms........

I don't feel that my life is that "held back" from smoking green. I am 23, have a bachelors degree, working in IT as a support tech...trying to keep up on school loan payments and hoping to move up slowly while I go for network+ and mcse........

Either way.....who cares

faulkton just likes getting you guys riled up

I love when people say it is 100% harmless.

Inhaling any type of smoke causes damage to your respiratory system. It may not have as many dangerous chemicals in it, but it still does harm to your body.

For example, it still kills the cilia of the pseudostratified tissue that lines your throat. This gets rid of you body's ability to remove the dust and crap without coughing it up.

Thats just one example...

That may be true but after how much use? I would be willing to be the average weed smoker inhales a 1/10 of the smoke an average smoker does if even that..

It actually happens suprisingly fast. And it also doesnt repair itself if you do stop smoking

I agree completely about the physical effects from using it....

BUT The original post wasn't even about it's physical effects, it was more about the mental effects and how it affects the society as a whole.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Faulkton was smoking a J now and laughing at us try to question if what we do is wrong or not.

Honestly i do not know why this is discussed so much, weed is alreadly legal for medical use in 13 states, as time passes all be probably go this route, therefore the ignorant americans will have to get over it.

you knew that alcohol was illegal back in the old days right? but then it created "gangs" and corrupted people. When the prohibition was lifted, the damage was already done, but then it was realized that alcohol wasn't as bad as it was assumed to be.

maybe weed being illegal is just causing more harm than its worth.

Also, if the government did legalize it and distribute it, they would make a huge profit and it would take the business away from other countries.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif:greedy:

Weed is oviously harmless. What other drugs are even slightly considered about being legalized besides weed?
