I don't think it's a gateway drug whatsoever, I just think people who are likely to be interested in smoking weed are probably interested in trying other drugs too. People who 'have sand in their vagina' just won't be interested in drugs'.
I don't know about anyone else but I'd rather live a shorter life doing things I enjoy, not being a bitch and not worrying about dying all the time, than living a long boring life eating cabbage and shit. Who cares about dying younger anyway? The last years of your life are the worst, I'd rather maximise the enjoyment of the best years. If you don't die from smoking you'll probably get some kind of neurological disease and shit yourself to death anyway.
With that said I quit weed awhile ago, but for other less common reasons... I don't think there's any problem with it at all unless you're toking everyday.

Where did I say that?

If you enjoy rock climbing then you should do it. If you happen to enjoy blazing the sensi then blaze away.
Agreed. As long as there's no huge medical advancements (which there very well might be), I'd be much happier living laid back and dying at 70 instead of 90.
Please no "yeah but what if you die at 25 instead of 70, what now huh?" 's. I said living laid back, not recklessly.
Kind of disagree. I think it just depends on the person. When some people smoke, they can take 3-4 hits, get high, and then get back to their business for a few hours. Some people start smoking and just get completely ripped and become useless vegetables until they pass out and go to sleep.
I was at a concert on Thursday and I thought it was so great that I was in the pit (this is still daylight in Buffalo, 6pm) and there's old dudes around me sparking up blunts and bowls. Then the band starts jamming and they just turn around, look at me, and just smile and turn back around. Stereotyping in general just pisses me off I guess.
I was referring to the "than living a long boring life eating cabbage and shit" part. Seriously, not all people who have something against weed eat cabbage and shit all day long. I have something against weed because I actually saw it directly as well as indirectly ruin (and take) lives so yeah, I'm a stereotyping sob. Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. It's my opinion and I posted it. OK, gotta get back to work (you know what they say about arguing on the Internet)
Only 4 or 5 times in my life.
Only got high 1 time.
Not really my thing I guess....
I hate the taste of smoke in my mouth.
Each time I did it, I immediately had to go home, brush my teeth, floss, gargle and take a shower to get the smoke off and outta me.
Now drinking.. that's a vice I gots no problem with.

For argument's sake, could you please explain how you saw marijuana ruin (and take) people's lives?
No, this is where I draw the line. Teh Interwebz are great and everything, but there's only so much stuff I'm willing to refer to when it comes to personal shit. If you wanna take my word for it, fine. If not, no problem.
I'm going to guess your friend started smoking pot...met somebody...started taking another drug...and ruined his/her life.
Either way it's still stereotyping due to your bad experience, but weed rarely is the sole reason for destroying someones life.

no reason to laugh, smoke inhalation of any variety, be it weed, cigarette, or sticking your face over a smoldering plastic fire, is bad for your lungs. it may not kill brain cells, but it's unhealthy. legalize it, but i don't plan on smoking.
Exactly. That's why I never go outside or sit by a campfire. I wonder what smores taste like?
Chill the fuck out people. It's weed. If you're smoking blunts, then yeah, it's bad for your lungs, but honestly you just need to calm down.
Especially charlie... shit happens. Your friend probably got in with the wrong crowd and started meth or cocaine or something...
And the whole gateway drug thing - yeah, I suppose it could be true, but look at it this way - Alcohol makes you do stupid ass shit, like trying hard drugs. Weed makes you do stupid ass shit, like eating 4 bags of oreos. When I smoke weed I know what I'm doing, I can think rationally (somewhat), and I'm in control for the most part. When I'm drunk, I do whatever my friends are doing, rarely think for myself, and just kinda "go with the flow" - so what's more dangerous - weed or booze?
And this is where I get pissed off.
I mean, seriously? You have ONE FUCKING ANECDOTAL EXPERIENCE, and decide the plant is evil. Then you spew your uninformed shit on the internet, mongering fear and hate for a substance that has enormous potential to help people.
I'm frustrated by this because my mom is in the same boat. My mom takes a few vicodin every day, some xanax to go to sleep, benedril when the dog sheds, coffee every morning, and I don't doubt she's chemically "addicted" to all of these "legal" drugs.
But her brother died of a stroke while he was high, and since marijuana thins your blood, she reasons that cannabis killed her brother, so she'll never smoke weed for her pain.
My mom's been in ridiculous pain since I was very young. Her medication makes her moody and irritable, and usually her back hurts so much she's bed-ridden by 3pm. I've hoped she'd come around to using a natural plant to help her pain, for many years. I even bought her a Medical Marijuana license, but she refuses to smoke. I baked her brownies, she won't eat them.
Your anecdotes and "personal stories" are crap. It's a green plant that grows under the yellow sun and drinks the blue water. It could give you lung cancer, and as it relaxes your mind and aids concentration, nulls your pain, increases your appetite and helps many people fall asleep, it also makes you feel slightly stupid.
Only an idiot would say that there's no risk, but only conventional wisdom says that the harm outweighs the good. I'll side with the idiots on this one.
