    I have seen what THC can do to a brain already "diseased" with social anxiety and stress related issues. It exacerbates the problems. All drugs are bad. The brain is not meant to be used as a playground.

    its proven pot is much much less harmful than cigarettes. do you condone tobacco use? probably not but its accepted because its legal. and you dip.

    so why the hate? because we've been conditioned to see it as much worse. it simply is not.

    its time to educate ourselves and get back to letting darwinism thinning the herd naturally. no interference keeping these weak genes in the pool. how else will we evolve?

    Exactly. It's not hate. It's trying to educate younger people about things we older guys have learned the hard way. Just like I always preach that credit cards are the devil.

    As have I, and the result was much, much different from what you apparently encountered. . .

    what have you learned the hard way? that pot is evil? All drugs are bad unless approved by the FDA?

    my point being we should think of pot with the same disdain as we hate robitussin. but we dont.


    because we are conditioned to think it is something it is not. this thread is more than enough proof. we dont go around pointing out we dont condone alcohol. even though it is a million times worse.

    all drugs are not bad. some, like alcohol, are great. i can tend to stress over minor things and alcohol helps. i think that is probably true for billions of people worldwide. a nice 6 pack at the end of the day, a game on tv, and then sleep, very relaxing, helps alot. people have been using drugs this way harmlessly for thousands of years.

    i think you are right about harder drugs, they are scary and who knows how you will react to them. but if a person can manage them, good for them.

    drugs are definitely not for everyone. not for me even. but again, there are some people who are healthy and smart and know what they are doing and can manage drugs, the same way i manage alcohol, which as i said, i think is tremendously helpful.
