My thoughts from another post about a certain drug....


Actually.. Marijuana helps make the brain stronger and faster.. its called the 'Buffalo Theory'.. Its like a herd of buffalo.. the herd is strong with many buffalo.. predators come along.. and prey on the slower weaker buffalo.. thus the stronger survive to procreate and create a stronger herd.. weed acts the same way.. killing the weaker slower brain cells.. making the brain faster and stronger.. so hey.. SMOKE IT UP!!!


Marijuana ain't a drug dammit. I hate people who say it is! It's a plant, and if you so happens to set it on fire and it add some effects.


uh.. it is a drug..

You gotta be kiddin' me!?! Marijuana ain't addictive to that level, it's all in the mind. And if people decide to go to rehab for weed, then they got huge issues with their selfesteem. I smoked for a long, long time, and I quit, haven't smoked for 3years now. And that was from one day to the other.

Its not physically addictive but it is mentally addictive and there are people that can't handle it and need rehab for it.. which personally I think is.. I wont go there... but anyway.. there are some out there that do need rehab for it...

If a person smokes it enough that it interferes with their daily living, it's a drug problem. They have to learn how to live life on life's terms. They were high and didn't learn how to deal with stress, etc. without having something to lean on to.

People don't go to rehab because they have issues with their self esteem. slaphead

And the medical profession has found that it is as high a risk if not higher for lung cancer than regular tobacco.

There are so many risks out there for smoking regular tobacco, they have linked it to bladder cancer, and now a higher risk for cervical cancer too.

If you can't quit weed, that's a self esteem problem! Like SamaraNJ said, it's mentally addictive. And if you're mentally weak, that has something to do with your self esteem. Now if we talk 'drugs', such as coke, heroin etc, yes! Then you need pro help. I don't think you have any idea what marijuana does to you, other than what you hear from the news etc. Or perhaps you've smoked it once or twice and felt bad, and thats why you see it as a drug. But you've never heard of anybody dying from smoking pot. I'm not saying marijuana can't cause you problems, sure it can. But so can coca cola and MacDonalds if you consume too high amounts of them.

it's mentally addictive.. but it's not necessarily cause of self esteem.. its because they smoke so much they don't know how to function without it.. they need to go to rehab to re-learn how to do daily activities without being high.. how many stoners do you know that cant have a good time and laugh til they have a joint? so your correct that its not physically addictvie but winx is also correct because there are people that no longer know how to live their lives without it and need the rehab...

I've known many stoners in my life, and they could still have fun without it, and still go to work and do their daily activities with no problems. Only thing is, they didn't wanna be without it. Of course there are the people who get so messed up that they loose touch of reality, but thats usually the weaker minds who cannot handle it. And of course they shouldn't indulge in it. I can also agree that young people have higher risk of showing change in personality. And that their minds are still developing and should restrain from smoking, but also not be drinking. Sure I can agree on those facts. But I can never, never! say that Marijuana is a drug. Drugs kill you, Marijuana doesn't kill you.

Pot can affect mood and coordination. It also raises the heart rate and blood pressure. The drug can also make some people paranoid. In rare cases, it can cause them to hallucinate.

Pot is as tough on the lungs as cigarettes — steady smokers suffer coughs, wheezing, and frequent colds. It has a higher risk of cancer like cigs. do.

People who use pot can become psychologically dependent upon it to feel good, deal with life, or handle stress. In addition, their bodies may demand more pot to achieve the same kind of high experienced in the beginning.

It is also a gateway drug.

Self esteem may have been one of the reasons to start getting high. But..it is NOT a reason for getting help.

Aneroxia, Bulemia, cutting, gambling, etc. are psychological.
That doesn't mean that they are mentally weak.

And..yes, I do know what pot does to people. I grew up in the 70's. I have also worked in a drug rehab.

I have too many relatives that are missing several fries, and some the chicken nuggets out of their happy meals because of drugs, mostly marijuana. I got to learn from their mistakes!
One uncle lived off his mother til the day she died.

there are advantages and there are disadvantages of which i know to a greater extent guaranteed

if you are graced with health and ability, if you can speak well and have good self-esteem, if you have some potential, for god's sake stay sober and see what you can do--if you are close, seek real help and get there

pot is powerful, read the label, use sparingly
