(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); i've been smoking weed since i was 13, i'm 40 now and own my own business, i just bought a house about 3 years ago, have a $40,000 dollar boat sitting in my driveway, and just bought my 16 year old daughter her first car.

society has called this drug /bad for 60+ years now, athough beer is legal?

when's the last time you watched the news and seen a fatal car accident where marijuana was involed??

crack/meth/coke are all man made drugs, that destroy your body over time.

marijuana is a natural herb from your beloved planet, that is being used in the medical field now to help people w/ Glaucoma and Cancer.

Glaucoma-(refers to a group of disorders that lead to damage to the
optic nerve, the nerve that carries visual information from the eye
to the brain. OPEN-ANGLE Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision)

i dont have any of these conditions, the reason "I" smoke is because it helps me with everyday stress, it's a calms me down when i get to much going on in my head at work, it helps me to relax and think things out.

but like any drug it has it's side affects, putting any kinda smoke into your lungs CANT be good for you, but neither is salt, sugar ..ect

everybodys gonna die someday, you choose how your gonna live your life, for "me" it's gonna be one joint at a time. because i choose what makes me happy!!

yeah, thats right if you do one joint a week then that is healthy well i dont know but that is guud

actually im pretty sure there was research done that weed can harm your lungs more than cigarette smoke :|

Yeah that study found that it's the way people inhale and hold in the smoke that harms a person worse than cigarette smoke, but it has nothing to do with what the product is that you are smoking.

The bottom line is that weed has been hated very much the same way rock and roll was hated back in the day, because it made kids disobey they're parents. Big deal right? Wrong, back in the day it was VERY bad to disobey your parents. So weed gets a bad name throughout history and it stuck hard. It's not about taxes or the debate over which if the laws would be national or state level due the commerce laws, it's just taboo.

So the common arguments like "when I smoke weed I'm more calm and focused", wasted effort. Just understand that it's a moral issue. You and I both know that all the people that knock weed would more than likely enjoy it if they tried it. It may not necessarily change they're opinion on it, but it would definitely open they're mind to reason...

Actually quite the opposite in terms of cancerous cell growth at least. THC has been proven to slow the spread of cancerous cells once already infected both in the lungs and brain and many believe it can actually be used as a method for prevention evidenced by the fact there are no known cases of lung cancer caused by weed.

As far as coughing and such I don't know one way or the other but throughout my smoking of weed I have never developed a "smokers" cough like many of my cigarette sucking friends have

Good post.

I have been smoking since I was 14 I am 28 now. Have a nice house my own business that allows me to play ps3 24/7 a beautiful wife and daughter.

Smoking has never affected me or anyone I know in a negative way.
And normally when you hear about an incident there were other substances involved.

I honestly think alcohol should be illegal and marijuana legalised.
In this generation I am surprised its not so already.

You know you can you a vaporizer, its the best was to do it cause your not burning the herb meaming tar and wat not.

this is very true, thanks for this infomation^

i also know that smoking weed over time your eyes will be more sensitive to the sun, that's why most stoners wear sun glasses outside "like me" LOL
