I'm fine with legalization. I just hate weed culture and how it acts like pot is some super plant instead of the unhealthy addiction it is.
DigitalWaffle
You have a good point OP. But then the big Pharma companies won't make money off you :'( How will they survive?
LadyBumps
I've said it before, but I'd love to use this legally instead of spending a small fortune on morphine.
trunipbob
...Also, I like getting baked.
grimpalahat
Legalize it so all the potheads will shut the fuck up. Fuckin vegan wanna-be's.
thedissident
People are aware of editable's right? A lot of people using smoke as an argument and it's stupid.

Edibles*
evildadunit
Spain has the best model. You can grow it, consume it. You can't sell it. Done and done
Sexlexic
Could always learn to calm your own damn self down. Thats as natural as it gets. Take a breather, go for a walk, meditate.
ASlowKiss
^^^ found the guy who's never had clinical depression or anxiety.
nooneexciting
This depends entirely on how bad one's anxiety/depression are. Unfortunately there is no "one size fits all" calming technique.
SWReefer
Said what I came to say +1
TBugVillain
Plenty. It stinks
Flodos
IMO weed has its place, but the general public isn't it. It can turn people lazy, complacent and unachieving, so should not be encouraged.
evildadunit
I agree with you. I like Spain's model. Grow as much as you like. Can't buy it, can't sell it. It shouldn't be commercialized
kofjfsfsf
Can you stop using the argument that it is "natural". That doesn´t mean shit. Snake venom is also natural and most antibiotics are not.
Willybum84
I have one before food and bed. Makes me love food and I sleep better. Used to be a big smoker when young and quit but enjoying that 1 now.
ThePickliestRick
I'm in favour of legalization. But if you need to use something as a crutch to cope with an issue, it can become an addiction.
ThePickliestRick
Also natural doesn't inherently mean healthy for your body. Cyanide is natural, or mercury, or alcohol, or nicotine.
ThePickliestRick
A good argument for would be simply that you enjoy the drug, can still provide and pay your bills, and it can be government regulated.
ThePickliestRick
But if you want an argument against it, then proclaiming that you use it to self medicate instead of addressing your issues... that.
Frizoggy
Weed isn't addicting? How bout you try to stop smoking it.
JohnJacobJingleHeimerSmitt
Its not that hard even if you smoke regularly. The first 2 weeks suck then you feel normal again
KraftPunkIsLookingForACheeseWife
Ewanator
Implying weed isn't addictive.
evildadunit
My mother passed recently, we have close to 400 doses of opiates leftover. Wonder why there's an opus epidemic?
Ewanator
What are you trying to say?
evildadunit
That's about $4k on the open market. Mixed them with vinegar, water, and used kitty litter. We're not hungry, but a lotta folk are
evildadunit
no way a 90# woman needed THAT much. Milking medicare
WubbaLubbaDubbDub
Oh it's natural? No wonder I keep finding it growing in my closet
Gottabeginger
rnorja
Lead and arsenic are both natural. Oh and bears.
CaptainSilver42
Roll it roll it roll it light it PACK YO BOWLS SMOKE YO BONGS light it PACK YO BOWLS SMOKE YO BONGS light it
grabus
Because weed doesnt have bad sideeffects?
evildadunit
Willie Nelson said famously "weed ain't safe, buddy of mine had a bail fall on him, hurt him pretty bad"
evildadunit
The biggest side effect of weed, is accepting boredom
IDownvoteYourCatsAndDogsAndSecretSantasAndYourGODDAMNOVERWATCH
I'm in favour of weed, but it can also have bad side effects and be addictive.
TasteMyLemons
Fake news
cloutmill
Literally anything can be addictive. When people say it's not addictive, they mean physically.
evildadunit
Knew a dude was prescribed heavy psycotropics $500/mo they made him less reactive. Turns out brownies were just as good and cheaper
festivehanbanan
Meh, I'll take my antidepressants any day over something that isn't fully legal yet and smells like a skunk to me.
evildadunit
I ate trileptal, weed is cheaper and I get more done
festivehanbanan
You know? That makes me really happy that weed works for you and helps you function. So you keep doing you! :)
OriginalPlam
I jog for this same reason... just a bit more natural than lighting a plant on fire and inhaling fumes.
OriginalPlam
Incidentally, arsenic is also natural... natural doesn't always mean healthy.
TasteMyLemons
Fuck off
OriginalPlam
Why. There are a bunch of ways to help anxiety and stress... if OP can share their views, why can't I share mine?
Keegles
Yeah, who would we fill prison with, unnecessarily wasting tons of taxpayer dollars!?
Atotalfuckwit
Smoke in your lungs, brain damage in developing minds, blood pressure problems, and impaired judgement. Those are my arguments. If you 1/2
evildadunit
Edibles melt, cook, bake
Atotalfuckwit
True
Atotalfuckwit
Really want to use it for medical reasons, then you'd put the chemicals in an iv bag instead of blowing smoke into your lungs
evildadunit
And the folks selling opium, opiates, become the vendors https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars
h0tdoglatte
yeah stoners make all kinds of excuses why they smoke all the time.
trunipbob
I'm 38, own my home, run a successful business, pay my taxes and don't bother anyone, I don't need an excuse, I just like getting high.
SharkShanker
I've seen some people do some really idiotic stuff in high school and at work because they hate themselves too much not to get high
TroelsyTwo
Don't smoke the shit. It's not good for you. Don't self medicate. The only way you should be able to get cannabis legally is prescribed by/1
TroelsyTwo
your doctor. Morphine is from a plant too, remember. Most things derive from plants. Cannabis is no more "natural" than anything else. /2
TroelsyTwo
Let's remember that alcohol used to be prescribed and considered healthy too. Which was all bullshit. It cures nothing just masks. /3
evildadunit
Ooh, for profit pharma knows best... We're saved ya fuckin' tool
TroelsyTwo
Try actually informing yourself about what the pharmaceutical industry is and how things have to be done for it to work globally.
evildadunit
My ma just passed we had over 400 doses of morphine, mixed them with vinegar and kitty litter. No way she needed that much. Medicare abuse
lalwaysupvotecatsandTHT
It can hinder the development of the brain in teens.
kneetothearrow
Sauce? I've done several research projects and never found evidence that pure cannabis was harmful this way
thedissident
Potentially so can caffeine, alcohol and pharma, but let's just keep splitting hairs.
spookyu
And it's STILL carcinogenic when burned and inhaled, no matter what. Maybe less than cigarettes, but "a little less cancer" is stupid.
fractalsphere
And alcohol has plenty of evidence for liver disease, and other things. It's a risk either way, but people's bodies are their own choice.
spookyu
And it's been shown to increase the incidence of psychotic breaks within a small set. It has MANY uses, but don't BS the risks.
JohnJacobJingleHeimerSmitt
a small set of ppl predisposed with mental illness already
fractalsphere
Should be treated like alcohol. No one under 21. No driving with it. No public intoxication. Easy.
cracktoberfest
But this makes TOO MUCH SENSE!
keystotheairlock
It's actually legal in many states to be publicly stoned, as it's pretty low risk, but possession will still cost you.
fractalsphere
Same as publicly drunk. Don't be super obnoxious and no one should bother you.
KPass
The only problem is there's no test to determine if you're driving high. Only field sobriety tests
AjitPai
which is a better test anyway
ZaphodForgotHisTowel
Hold up a bag of Taco Bell. If the driver goes for it, bust em.
irishrelief
They can blood test you, and you'll always pop positive of youve smoked within a month.
goddamnitletmepickaname
Iirc studies have shown it's best to wait until 30
MeMomsSpaghetti
Same for alcohol
PeacefulWarfare
They can take their studies and shove them way up in their ass
NeoAnonymous
I thought it was 25
dhaskjdhawyajhdbsdbgwakjhbdnmcckclkklkl
I think its 25. but i mean, realistically, while i support legalization. It's best to sort out your problems yourself, instead of relying(1)

(2) on something else for your emotional stability.
