I should have just quoted that, said lol and left but whatever
"It is not good for a healthy 13-14 year old. That shouldn't be debatable."
Where did I ever debate that?
"You need to buy some glasses or something I gave examples of it being helpful."
Thing with weed is its always going to look good if you compare it to other vices like cigs, booze, or hard drugs.
But it is not some miracle working thing unless you are treating a specific serious illness and it happens to be a good fit medicinally for you and your ailments.
There is nothing positive that weed can do for a healthy 14 year old, sorry.
"Regular, habitual, marijuana use is a good thing if you are doing it in place of some other vice (getting hammered, drugs etc) and can socially have benefits like making you enjoy a fucking awful job or be nicer to others.
Basically, weed is good if you are a fuckup with no intention of bettering yourself. If you want to go from point A to point B it won't really help. I have smoked plenty of trees in my time but I can't really work it into my life right now snce I don't think the impact will be positive. I need to make decisions on what games I am going to bet on or not bet on that have consequences of potentially thousands of dollars.
In the summer when I am home and waiting for it to be fall so I can earn again I'll be burning all day long."
"And as for adults if a person is at a point in their life where they are having problems the marijuana can give them solace and make them feel better day to day. If that person wants to improve themselves marijuana is only going to be a hinderance (so go from being unemployed to having a job...smoking more pot if you already smoke isn't in your best interests.)"
^ That's what you said. So maybe you need to buy a some alzheimer's meds.
You're saying that it's better to do in place of harder drugs, and it's good to do if you're bored and have nothing to do. Also basically said that it's bad to do if you want to be in anyway productive.
Hence me calling you ignorant and saying that you were putting your limited experience on other people.
MMMkay?
"Marijuana is clearly better than an addiction to hard drugs or alcoholism. Even smoking cigs health wise. There shouldn't be any debate to that. Nor should my statement above be debatable. If you are unsuccessful and are looking for comfort in that and don't really want to try and better yourself then smoke some weed. If you want to change your circumstances you will be more likely to pull it off if you ditch the weed."
Yeah I got what you said the first time buddy. Yes you can't get into a bad addiction with weed like you can to alcohol or hard drugs. That has nothing to do with the flaws I was pointing out in your previous post, and you already mentioned this in your previous post.
"The fucking point is the shit helps people to relax and mentally feel better. You're probably someone who would tell a kid to blaze up before he takes the SAT's because you think weed is so awesome."
Lol, here's the part where you get frustrated and tell me about myself. You don't even know me. Know, I would never tell somebody to smoke before the SAT's. Hell I would never tell anyone to smoke before school, I would never tell anyone to smoke period. If you want to smoke go for it. If you don't, don't.
Because I think weed is awesome? Lol. All I said was that it did positive things for me and many other people so don't place your experiences from yourself on everyone else. THAT was my point.
"But that is a very irresponsible view and you harm the cause of people who responsibly advocate for the use of the drug medicinally, as well as for responsible recreational use"
How is that an irresponsible view? What the hell does my view point even have to do with responsibility? I simply said marijuana is helpful to some people, and harmful to others. That's just the way it is man, I don't see what's so irresponsible in stating a simple observation. If anything you're "irresponsible" for thinking that your limited experience trumps everyone's experiences.
How do I harm the cause for "people who responsibly advocate for the use of the drug medicinally, as well as for responsible recreational use"
The last part is just lolz. I'm talking about responsibility. If something is an asset, then use it as such, if it isn't then avoid it. As far as the first, where was I ever talking about medical marijuana or causes? I was simply pointing out that you were assuming that since marijuana wasn't helpful to you, that it couldn't be helpful to anyone else. And yes you said that it was better than smoking cigs and drinking but that's not relevant to my point.
Don't generalize, don't assume. If you want to smoke weed, go for it. If you don't want to smoke weed avoid it. If your friends give you trouble about smoking weed, try talking to them and working it out, or get new friends. If your friends give you trouble about not smoking weed, try talking to them, or get new friends.
Was that so hard? I really don't care if anyone else smokes or doesn't smoke. And in regards to your amazing take on me, I haven't even smoked weed in almost 4 years. Our opinions on drugs, the drug war,and other things aren't relevant to my point about your generalizations.
/tangent.
Back to thread. Sorry OP
