419>A lot of the anti-drug folks seem to have these misguided, wacky beliefs about the drug, for example, that it kills brain cells in the same way alcohol does or causes cancer in the same way cigarettes do. There%26#039;s also the one about causing laziness, but any reasonable individual should be able to conclude that association does not imply causation. Have you considered the possibility that the people that enjoy weed may in fact just be lazy people? And of course there%26#039;s the ridiculous notion that it is addictive or a gateway drug? Christ, chocolate is far more addictive than weed. I%26#039;ve never known anyone not able to quit smoking weed for any length of time. What is it that keeps these silly ideas floating out there? I know they exist because I come across people clinging to these illogical assumptions all the time. I%26#039;m not asking why it%26#039;s not legal which it of course should be. I know the answer to that, just ask the tobacco, alcohol, oil, clothing, and agricultural lobbies.
Reply:Because the US Federal Government has had a dedicated campaign to circulate such myths since at least 1930.
The US Official Expert on marijuana testified in court, under oath, that marijuana could make your incisors grow six inches long and drip with blood. He said that when he tried it, it turned him into a bat. You can read the short history of the laws at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/History/...

Reply:First of all , marijuana %26#039;weed%26#039; is an addictive drug. It can cause laziness I dont have proof of this but I know people who have done the drug and have gotten lazier. It does kill brain cells all drugs kill brain cells but marijuana is the drug that doesn%26#039;t kill as many as inhalents or heroin. Where did you get that , can I have your source about chocolate being more addictive then marijuana? Even if that were valid. Chocolate doesn%26#039;t kill brain cells. It%26#039;s be proven to actually help people. Chocolate doesn%26#039;t cause slight laziness.
Marijuana should be legal? If marijuana were to be legal Alcohol should be illegal. It kills more brain cells than marijuana. a certain percent of deaths in world is caused by drunk driving.
Reply:Government propaganda. Silly naive people who actually believe the government wants what%26#039;s best for them (you would be amazed how many there are!) think that crap is the truth.
Reply:Because they want you to believe what they say. I don%26#039;t really know who %26quot;they%26quot; are, probably the goverment with some hidden conspiracy. Just like %26quot;they%26quot; wanted people to believe that smoking cigs was good and not addicting. The truth is out there...probably under a bong. :oO
Reply:Dude, I totally agree with you...I%26#039;m so tired of people saying that weed is bad and it will eventually kill me and cause my children to become crack addicts... Weed was put here on Earth by God, so therefore what%26#039;s the sin in smoking it... It%26#039;s all natural and way better than alcohol or cigarettes... But to answer your question, I have no idea why there are so many myths out there... I think it%26#039;s because they just want to scare out of smoking the ****!!! And just one more thing, for a pot smoker you sure sound like an educated person... Which some of the smartest people in the world smoke weed... ALL THE POWER TO THE POT PEOPLE....
Reply:Well, as someone who has just given up weed for good I agree with you that%26#039;s it%26#039;s not as bad as alcohol, cigarettes, etc. However, the reason I stopped in the first place is because I was becoming addicted to it. I relied on it to get an appetite, enjoy watching tv, enjoy listening to music. Basically, I needed it to enjoy life. It also made me extremely unmotivated but maybe that%26#039;s just me. If it%26#039;s done in moderation I see no problem with it but I couldn%26#039;t control myself...lol
