Yes, it is psychological you loving idiot. Of course it is. When did I ever deny that? I'm saying that it's not just psychological. It's like nicotine. You can't compare something like the aforementioned procrastination because you're not ingesting an addicting chemical.
Supplementary info: I recommend you read this website: http://www.drugpolicy.org//facts/drug-facts/marijuana Good site, thank you. One flaw I found, however: They mentioned that the short-term effects while high included losing cognitive ability and learning skills reduced, and then in the very next paragraph said that it didn't affect driving. Didn't make sense :u

Oh and also, my final opinion is that I find it disgusting. Just saying. Even if you somehow proved that it doesn't affect your mind in negative ways, which I'm still hesitant to believe, it's still a horrible idea to me.

Inhaling a chemical that forgets with your brain isn't very appealing to me.

Inhaling a chemical that forgets with your brain isn't very appealing to me.

Better not eat chocolate then. It stimulates your brain, causes endorphin creation. Oh and forget that caffeine, that's a nervous stimulant. Can't use aspirin, either.

Anyway, THC doesn't "forget with your brain". It binds to your cannabinoid nervous receptors (Bet you didn't know you had a cell membrane specifically designed for cannabinoids) in order to activate (stimulate) the receptor and produce the brown towngesic effects cannabis is known for. If it's the smoke that disgusts you, I can sympathize, but then what do you think about baking it into food? It's virtually tasteless in cookies, but the effect isn't nearly as strong.

COMMON MISCONCEPTION:

What people think happens when you smoke Marijuana:

What really happens: You get the overwhelming feeling of being light and relaxed. Things are funnier, you smile a lot. If you're really blazed your visual framerate drops and your perception of things becomes slightly altered (In that, I find it feels like I'm dreaming for a period of time). You also become a bit inattentive and forgetful, and music becomes really powerful in that you're more focused on it. Most people find themselves really focused after becoming high, and become productive. It isn't a hallucinogen.

We cannot scientifically prove that you do or do not physically become dependent to marijuana. Making a random set of people consume marijuana would be unethical.

And sure you can get addicted to anything. You can compare marijuana to caffeine and food, but neither have been proven to cause permanent damage. The fact about marijuana is that we just don't know enough about it. Just like everyone thought tobacco was harmless, but we really just had never thought it could have caused harm until everyone started using it.

The moral problem with it: Even if we assume that it doesn't cause very much damage, if it were legal it would probably be abused just like alcohol. People would have college students going to parties to get stoned and die. People would get in wrecks and harm other people. People would describe how awesome it is to get high and next thing you know you have kids who don't even know how to spell it that want to try it.

People pro-marijuana say that you have to be complete idiots to hurt yourself with marijuana, but they have to remember that when you give people drugs, they are complete idiots with it.
