Being arrested and treated like a criminal





Those are pretty much the only cons, in my opinion.
Funny enough, both of which are a direct result of it being unjustly illegal.

I don't find any faults with it really, as the addiction is purely a mental/psychological one IME, and any dependency and abuse of it is my own fault...
And like everything in life, moderation is key. You abuse anything to an extreme and it's not going to be "smooth".
That, and it's proven through thousands of years of use to be one of the safest drugs (plants) on the planet Earth. I take far greater risks eating a cheeseburger, or something.
The medical and psychological benefits I gain from pot far outweigh any potential cons.
Thus the greatest cons to smoking pot is the fact that it's illegal.
Which makes it expensive and makes me a criminal for doing what the fuck I choose to do to my body without hurting anyone.

Really?

I used to get the munchies when I first started smoking but after a while it started to have the opposite effect and I lost a bunch of weight. It was probably because I didn't want to eat while high because it ruined the buzz and I was high all of the time. :lol:




Yeah, smoking pot all the time makes more people lose weight than gain weight, at least among the chronic stoners I know.  I don't know if it's the weed effecting appetite, metabolism, or both. :shrug2:

Same with me, when I first started smoking i'd get the munchies then after a while it would stunt my appetite quite a bit. It seems to work that way with most other people I know. Except for one fat bastard who can eat anything, anytime and anywhere regardless of how much hes smoked or snorted.

What I mostly didn't like about smoking pot, is how it made me feel stupid. Really did nothing but stared at the tv, not understanding it at all, and shoving massive amounts of food down my throat.

Everyone is different though. I don't have anything against pot, I just personally do not like it.

Just wicked hypochondria when I'm stoned.

Oh, and I get really bad short term memory lapses; again, only when stoned.

I don't see why not liking cannabis would make us..."haters."

Drugs effect people differently.

for those of you that get bad anxiety when you smoke, just don't smoke as much as you normally do, and do it in comfortable situations.

Especially if you have your own house/apartment.

Just smoke in your bathroom and then chill on the couch, its hard for me to get paranoid in that situation.

That really is key.

I often find I prefer smoking just a bowl to getting completely stoned out of my mind.
