I think there will always be this argument while alcohol is legal and marijuana is not. Personally, I hope someone legalizes marijuana some day so all the potheads can just shut up. It's the only thing they ever talk about.

Seriously. Worse than Nbots. PROTECT THE HIVE! PROTECT THE HIVE!

Pot advocacy is such an empty cause, with medicinal use as its only real "plus" more often used as an excuse by the 99% of smokers who don't need it for medical use to justify their habits than those that do need it. While there may be no specific "minuses" for pot use, like I said, its still a very empty cause. The absence of pot in the world probably wouldn't affect anybody's life or well-being beyond, once again, those who need it medicinally.

Yeah, I think so too, man. *high five*

Amen, brother. Those potheads just can't drop the subject of marijuana in topics about marijuana. Silly potheads!

I like how you put plus in quotations, like people aren't getting awesome relief from using marijuana... Marijuana can be used for conditions as little as migraine headaches, so who are you to decipher who needs it medicinally? It's far less toxic than a lot of the medications out there right now. Stop acting like it has no uses because some potheads have irked you in the past.

Outside of medicinal use (I do infact use it to curb migraine headaches) it provides an extreme creativity boost, and when creating art or music, this is extremely helpful and pleasurable. So, yes, it would affect my life and seriously hinder my abilities as an artist if I couldn't take advantage of such a great tool.

I love these drug arguements. Personally I dont care what anyone says, I will stick with my own judgement and say that all drugs are bad. I'll just stick with alcohol thank you

Alcohol is a drug, genius.

Lol, bullshit. I've never once smoked and I'm an extremely creative person. If you want to use pot as a crutch for your inability to use your imagination, that's your problem.

As for the migraine stuff, I'm not buying it. It might help, but there are other ways to help migraines. Once again, you're relying on this excuse to justify something else (my guess is the reported creativity boost you claim to get).

Oh and to that back-handed comment about the Zoloft earlier, its something I need to take for my anxiety since there IS something already chemically off in my brain. I don't want to take it, but I've tried a bunch of different things already. You're comparing something that I am prescribed to take for a legitimate problem that I have to, even in your own words, something people use "recreationally." I don't take this stuff for fun. That's insulting.

First of all, stop bring such a fucking elitist. Some of the greatest artists/musicians ever smoked weed.

And as for your migrane comments, I take it you've never had one. Its like someone is hacking away at your head for the entire day.
How is it any more or less of a problem than what you take drugs for?

Where did I say I wasn't an extremely creative person without marijuana? And sure, there are other ways to help migraines, but marijuana has worked for me 100% of the time, so why would I bother with anything else? Plus, I never said that was the sole reason I use marijuana, so how is that an excuse? Not to mention I don't need an excuse to use marijuana. I love the pleasurable effects and it helps a ton with eliminating my migraines. Oh my, what a naughty boy I've been! Stop trying to be so righteous and think with your chemically imbalanced brain before you type.

You're out of your depth, Donny. You're like a child that wanders in during the middle of the movie and..... :lol

Seriously, how can you make the rest of the claims you do if you've never done it. You obviously aren't basing is on medical fact, b/c medical science actually supports the "crazy stoners" on the health risks.

It's an option, plain and simple. A NATURALLY GROWING option. That you have to smoke it instead of popping a pill doesn't change the fact that it's a drug with good and bad benefits. I don't use weed for migraines, but I don't get them either. I do use it to unwind after work, and also to quiet and upset stomach or general tension. To each his own.

Oh and to that back-handed comment about the Zoloft earlier, its something I need to take for my anxiety since there IS something already chemically off in my brain.

But hey, you see the contradiction with what you said, right? If someone needs to smoke pot to enhance their creativity, then blah blah blah. Well, if you need a drug like Zoloft to cure anxiety, then you're no better. You're using a drug to overcome something you could probably do on your own. Want to get over anxiety? Go talk to a lot of people. Well, it's not that simple now is it? Not that simple for weed either. The only difference is weed is illegal, so automatically, people put on the blinders as to the positive benefits of the drugs. PEACE.

The best thing you can do is just ignore it. It's not hurting you and if it was legal it'd hurt you even less because your taxpaying dollars wouldn't be used to put harmless people behind bars.

The problem I have is when some people try to insert their ethical and moral standards on other people. You, as admitted, have never smoked marijuana. So why do you care so much? There must be some motivation, and if there isn't just forget about it. Ignore the dumb idiot potheads who give smokers a bad name and don't go on tyrannical rants on the internet about how perfectly reasonable people shouldn't have the right to do with their body as they please.

That's all I can say. I won't shove a joint down your throat if you promise not to grab my blunt and toss it in the garbage.

Not that I smoke anyway. I'm waaaaay past that stage in my life

Therefore it would be missed. Furthermore, this bullshit could be said about ANYTHING. If you were dead you wouldn't miss life! OMG VALID POINT!!!111 :lol
