I'm 55 years old, and formerly a "flower child" of the 60's and 70's. My husband was a hippie "freak", who did a lot of marijuana. He doesn't any more and hasn't for years. Here is what he tells people about marijuana, from personal experience and from seeing what happened to his friends: It makes you lazy. It makes you not care about accomplishing anything in life.
Yes, it's a gateway drug. But if you look at most long term marijuana users you will see a pattern of life failure, because they get lazy and just cop out into the drug. My own husband has some permanent damage, in the form of a type of adult ADD which can be directly connected to his marijuana use in his young years. He can't keep focus. And he can't keep a job for longer than a year and a half. Those other friends he had in his young years who did long term marijuana usage, all have similar stories. How sad to be that way in your 50's when you should be enjoying a rich, full life instead!
We are "fearfully and wonderfully made". We are each made and manufactured by the Creator for accomplishment and we each are created for a purpose. If we just cop out into a drug that causes us not to care, we can miss life!
Instead of copping out, how much better to use every minute to make one's life count for something.
That may not explain why it's illegal, but it can explain some of why it's a bad thing.
It's illegal because the government can't regulate it. People would be growing it their backyards so it couldn't be taxed. Also, we'd be a nation of even more obese people because we would want to eat pizza and cheeseburgers even more!
It kills brain cells. It can also lead to harder drugs after the body adapts to it, it will want more drugs.
It kills brain cells and you get addicted to it and don't think about anything else. Life has no value to you anymore.
because the goverment doent tax it. It isnt as bad for you as cigs and actually has some redemming qualities. And for the person who said it leads to harder drugs thats like saying a fork leads to people being fat.
originally it was believed that marijuana kills brain cells and leads u 2 try other drugs (they called it a gateway drug) but these accusations have never been proven. the only thing we know about marijuana is that it gets u high. there r no side effects, nothing bad happens 2 ur body if u take it (some people think inhaling the smoke can cause cancer but even that hasnt been proven). there r more problems associated with drinking alcohol than their r with marijuana, yet marijuana is still illegal. this is y many people think it should b legalized
firstly is doesn't kill brain cells, it temporarily freezes them
it only kills brains cells if the weed has been mixed with other substances...
weed isnt actually bad for you, its just addictive
and it's illegal idk why lol....
it shouldnt be though, if someone wants to smoke weed they should be f*cking allowed to smoke weed! ahahah
Marijuana is a terrible drug, with instant and long term effects. It messes with their ability to react, focus, concentrate, and somebody who smokes marijuana regularly can have many respiratory problems similar to those of smokers. There are other effects, but these are a few.
I stopped smoking pot and told my friends that my reality is more interesting than being high. You miss out on so much of life smoking dope. It takes weeks for the chemicals to leave the fat cells of your brain. Ever heard of the description "dope head"? Find something more challenging than smoking pot. Pot is not regulated and can easily be filled with acid, LSD ect. Foreign police departments have been known to poison pot plants to harm the users. Pot smoking is not safe.
