I hate the things that are associated with the act of smoking refer. One of my biggest pet peeves is when motherfuckers squirt a big ass piss stream, twice, with the dam Visine. DROPS god dammit! If you read the directions you would know. Its not a one time use tool. Drops! That shit is like $5.99, plus tax too so walk your 2 foot havin ass to the store for the drops I guarantee you will be taking before long.

 The worst thing about weed is dumb asses giving it a bad name. Most dumb asses who smoke weed were dubasses before they smoked weed. Weeds a shity excuse for being a lazy ass. Ever heard of sativa

The worst thing about weed is that it's still illegal in parts of the world. Actually, that's the worst thing about pretty much any substance imho.
These substances deserve to be studied, understood, and allowed to be used for recreational, medicinal, and spiritual purposes. Those who choose to use them should be accepted and understood with compassion.
Other than that, weed is pretty awesome imo. I've seen people who have an obvious psychological addiction, but I've also met people for whom it's provided incredible benefit. Those with an addiction should have the resources made readily available for free by the governments of the world, and those whom receive any kind of benefit from it should be allowed to continue to receive that benefit.
Anyone who thinks this is a bad idea obviously should be allowed to express it, but I doubt there's a good argument against compassion and understanding in regards to this or any other subject.

The worst thing about weed is the people that smoke it.
Just kidding. There are three worst things about weed:
1 Tolerance 2 Addiction 3 Withdrawal
Bonus: it's estrogenic Bonus: it fucks up your REM sleep
It's important to be honest about these things. And it's ridiculous to say "I personally have no problems with weed, therefore there are no problems with weed."
90% of people can drink alcohol without having a problem. Hell, 10% of people can smoke a few cigarettes here and there without becoming addicted.
I've smoked quite a few pounds of weed over the years, and I'll take a puff once every few months, but the days of smoking it every day are long gone. When I quit, I have terrible anxiety and insomnia, and sometimes a psychotic manic episode that lands me in the hospital for a week; this has happened at least three times.
Nobody ever--EVER--talks about that. "Watch out when you quit weed, the quitting can fuck you up."
I'm in favor of legalization, and if you can handle it, please smoke as much as you want. Just stop with the "marijuana doesn't have any problems" meme.

To assign a good or bad trait to a plant doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
It is what it is. A plant that produces a mildly mind altering state in some primates.
It is the people and the society who use it for their own purposes that make it good or bad. If we left it alone it would just be. Are mushrooms bad? I would think most of you who use them would agree not for that simple fact. The mushroom or the plant did not choose in the way we perceive them.

a couple of days off per week - i.e. weedless or thc-less - restores my dreams and makes me feel more awake and healthy, although, while abstaining, it feels unfair, as I had quickly become acclimated to the cushioning silkiness thc gives to my mind.

malevolence said: I'm definitely a social smoker. A few times a month mostly, typically with my girlfriend because we can just roll around on the bed and be stupid together. And the sex is great too I guess I could see how people could be daily smokers but I've never enjoyed it THAT much. Me and my gf got some pineapple kush and we smoked every day for a week around 11pm every night. And it was great, but only because I was with her (AND THE SHIT WAS FUCKING GOOD).
This would so not work for me. I've only a desire to eat crap, greasy crap a bowl of leaves just no way. Maybe after shrooms but not weed lol
I don't eat at all now because if I eat before as soon as I smoke it's like I've never eaten at all, my stomach feels empty. I just leave the eating till after and don't get too much crap in. It's a totally weird drug, I don't EVER eat McDonald's or shite take aways like Chinese but on weed it's all I wanna eat lol

I love smoking a lil weed after having a couple beers. The worst thing about it though is - it kills your short term memory. For me, it totally decimates my short term memory.

ThePoopTree said: I think it can exacerbate existing issues with motivation.
When I was a youngin, I had a lot of anxiety and depression, and also smoked absurd amounts of pot. Burning through half ounces every week, and usually ending up dry for a day or two before payday.
Every fucking week, same story. Did the literal bare minimum at my shitty job, spent the bare minimum on food (ramen and eggs for like every damn meal), put the bare minimum into my relationships. Just so I could keep getting high.
Fast forward 20 years, and I am in a much better state mentally, but also smoke every day. I can sense the difference in my mentality now vs when I was young- now when I get high it doesn't affect my motivation like it used to. I have a really good career, house, married, white picket fence, all that shit.
In my personal experience, as well as watching the experiences of my friends, if you have a lot of pre-existing social anxiety then you should be careful with too much pot use.
^And this
ThePoopTree speaks the truth. (Statement of the Year Candidate)
I have walked an eerily similar path, myself. Still smoke daily, as well. I'm choosy about 'when' these days though. i.e. when the day is done. It can be an absolute motivation killer, no question about it. Sneaky, too. And as I've gotten older, i've noticed a significant increase in anxiety after smoking, regardless of the set or surroundings. The high has sort of.. aged with me, kinda changed a bit. And i've been pretty steady for, shit, 20 years now? Man, that makes me feel old.
Certainly a personal example, but still. Food for thought.
Aaaaanyway.. don't be so fucking naive, fellas.
Cheers to a fine resurrection!

The worst thing about weed is that I grew out of it. For years it was great, but then it started making me all introverted and uncomfortable whenever I smoked it. So I gave it up.

Nah not really its almost 20 years since I stopped. I did for a while, but I didn't miss that it had suddenly become uncomfortable for me. I still kept smoking for maybe 6 months anyway with it fucking me up. It took a good friend to point out that I was having a bad time with it for me to actually resolve to stop. I haven't smoked any this year or the last year, but usually I'll have a puff on a joint if its going round at a party or something. Nothing heavy. I haven't smoked a bong that isn't changa for many years now.
Actually I forget what it feels like now. It's been so long.

Yup just keep blaming your shortcomings on a plant. You are who you are. A plant did not make you that way. You made yourself that way. You can also unfuck yourself by taking personal responsibility. Taking action. Working on bettering yourself. And there is absolutely no reason while you can’t be high while doing that. .

Gonna have to make a hard disagree here.
Some people are more prone to alcoholism than others. Alcohol doesn't cause their problems- neither does being prone to alcoholism. But alcohol + alcoholism is a huge problem for a person.
Some people are prone to social anxiety or laziness, and for some people, pot absolutely amplifies those negative traits. For some people, being high is a barrier to accomplishing self improvement.
"Just a plant" is a copout. It's a mind altering substance and needs to be treated with the respect and caution that it's due.
