But are you loving stupid? It's clearly an addiction if smoking more makes him feel better.
Damn. You still had some argumentative value until you said this. If somebody doesn't even understand that psychological effects of a drug I'm not going to argue with them about the morality and legalization of it. Cannabis is a euphoriant. Its method of action makes you happy. This is
fact, I'm not speaking from personal experience and neither is anybody else when they say it makes you happy. It's not the reaction to an addiction. The first time you smoke you're happy and feel like everything will be alright.
you can get addicted to anything, i hate it when potheads try to tell me you can't get addicted to pot
While the substance is chemically nonaddictive, you can be psychologically addicted to anything. I was addicted to pot for a while but at the same I'm addicted to talking to girls and eating at Panera.
and this is the second part i hate
potheads downplaying psychological addictions like they're nothing. gambling isn't chemically addictive so it musn't be a problem for anyone either lol
The point of bringing this up in an argument for legalization is that, yes, things like gambling aren't chemically addictive, and people do have crippling addictions to them, but they're not illegal either.
And that's the thing, potheads brag about how it's the best thing ever that's being supressed by the government with lies auch as "it kills brain cells"
But are they aware that a lot of cannabis dealers are affiliated with websites that promote cannabis with bullstuff like "It won't harm you" "it cures autism" and "you can't get addicted to it" to gain customers?
This argument of yours is also a big misconception carried among people who don't smoke. Most people who start smoking don't just do it out of the blue, they are made curious by a friend or family member's use. I guess you're right and that one of the symptoms of smoking even once makes you a permanent sales rep. for the drug and you gotta convince everybody to use so that your connect makes more money. This is a common argument against legalization and is completely bunk. Would there be drug dealers and misinformation to increase sales if it were legalized/regulated in a fashion similar to cigarettes? No. Turns out your reason for being against legalization is a reason against illegalization too, cool right?
they are the same plant
Right, but wrong. Industrial hemp is generally Cannabis ruderalis which is a species with low THC and CBD as opposed to Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. Hemp is also harvested before the plant loveually matures (no pot). They
come from the same plant, but you don't smoke hemp and you don't make paper out of marijuana.
I want a source, an unbiased source. No conspiracy theories about hemp being made illegal
Damn your views are pretty skewed. Hemp is extremely efficient. Something like 6 acres of trees could be replaced with 1 acre of hemp? It grows much faster than trees as well.
@People discussing B&Ms/swishers and spice: lmao. I'll forget with a blunt but if you smoke a cigars for the taste/nicotine buzz, I kinda respect you less. For spice, it's a dangerous alternative to a drug that is extremely easy to get. Spice is only easier to get if you're 13-16, and you really shouldn't be doing any psychoactive drugs for at least a few years after that. I'm kind of a hypocrite when it comes to the age factor though, but I'm talking from a speculative ideal mental health point of view. One of the probably few exceptions to this are people who are regularly piss tested, to whom I could say to just take a break from smoking for a little while.
Edit: @Littledude: weren't you the one who was just bitching about reefer because it hurts your lungs as much as tobacco? Now you're advocating cigars? The buzz is stuff and the taste is bland. Do 1.5g of mush and eat pizza if you want a buzz with a good taste.
@Kniaz: The hippy movement is
soooo fifty years ago.
@Littledude again: John Lennon was sort of a hypocritical richard, lol. He beat the stuff out of his wives. Same with Paul McCartney.
