DRUGS

Do you really think marijuana is as bad as people make it seem?

[ElleRich]

I can't give you an honest answer because I have never experienced it.  I know you can't drive a vehicle under the influence, so that tells me it impairs judgement as alcohol consumption does and it's illegal.

 No. It has it's Medicinal purposes. It has just received negative views because, like many other things, it is abused and misused.

i agree with cryslan..

Marijuana is such an old sounding drug. I have tried it years ago and I did not like how I felt. I actually got paranoid. Is it is bad as everyone says? Well, no, I don't think so.

Ime, you've never heard of anyone getting into a car accident because they're on pot. Speed, alcohol, crystal, yes... marijuana, no. Does this speak for itself?

It's been given a bad rap for completely unjustifiable reasons, or rather, excuses.
Granted, I have met a few people who aren't exactly the most intelligent of creatures but when they are stoned.... well, let me just say that some people just should not consume marijuana, ever. Other than that, I've met many people who function just fine when stoned. Marijuana is a much better thing than cigarettes, alcohol, or even prescription/otc drugs are. Cigarettes not only cause the smoker problems, but those around them problems. Alcohol, has quite similar effects if you really think about it. Prescription and/or OTC drugs will just as soon kill you or cause you more issues (like side effects, for example) than they will treat your initial problem. Add in the fact that these things all require either a series of chemical reactions to produce and/or have many other (fatal) things added into them to reach the end product. Now let's look at marijuana... it's a natural, organic, plant. Nothing is added, no additional chemical processes. It is of the Earth, 100%. Just like, tomatoes. There's nothing within the plant (marijuana) that is fatal, only beneficial. It also has a plethora of uses (hemp products). Now, why is it illegal again?

definitely not.

In my opinion, marijuana is completely harmless, unless it is abused or used uncontrollably. Marijuana is way safer than alcohol and cigarettes, which are legal drugs. People just carry bad perceptions of it. You never hear of people dying from the consumption of marijuana but millions die every year from alcohol and excessive tobacoo use.

I don't think that marijuana is as bad for you as alcohol.  Both are poisons that destroy different parts of your body whether it be your brain, liver or lungs.  This is especially true for those that abuse it.  I think that marijuana holds a stronger purpose in helping those, that truly are in a lot of pain, deal with pain.  I think that both can be pre-cursors to stronger more dangerous drugs like cocaine, meth and heroine.

I agree with Janelle Taylor, and I think marijuana is a drug, but a harmless one.  Anything that is abuse can be harmful to your health, but smoking one ot two marijuana joints cannot hurt, it will make you eat.

If used correctly/not abused, pot can be a wonderful drug with many useful benefits.  It gets a very bad rap sometimes but not completely deserving though.

lol the title says drugs and the discussion is just about marijuana. anyway people call it different things. if grown properly it can have medical purposes. Ever eaten a bad apple? it is all about how you place the plant in your diet.
