Why are so many people Pot-Heads Nowadays?

Question

I honestly find it so f*^%#ING disgusting and pathetic. I find out a man smokes pot… I immediately loose respect for him. All respect! I can never take someone that does this SERIOUS. Cigarette Smokers are equally as pathetic but I can tolerate more , as it doesn’t make people behave like Hippies and smell like Hippies.

Lmao, your science is so behind and false.

Weed isn't just a great plant with increasingly valuable contributions to health science, but it's opened the door to things like psylocibin.

This research was popular in the 70s, but nearly all of it was destroyed because of America's racially motivated War on Drugs. Which failed, because weed is becoming legal all around the world.

CBD has been proven to be effective medication for drug-resistant epilepsy in children, non-addictive pain management for cancer and other chronic pain sufferers, and is a proven aid in anxiety and depression.

THC has benefits, too.

But hey, you do you.

Personally, I'm a stoner. I started as a medical patient taking CBD oil as the missing piece to complete my anxiety treatment - and it worked. Then I started noticing my work improved while I used certain strains.

Many of the best workers and entrepreneurs I know irl are stoners of various shades.

Lmaoooo you can tolerate cigarette smokers more when they literally are smoking themselves to death and possibly taking others with them with the second hand smoke but weed is where you draw the line? You must've smoked a ton of it because you can't possibly have any brain cells left.

Well I lose respect for people that seem so inheritably close minded.

I smoked in highschool all the time, and because of my employment I didn't smoke weed for like 22 years... and just tow weeks ago I smoked it for the first time in a 22 years, because its legal now. I do not plan on doing it regularly but I will smoke it from time to time through out the rest of my life, just like a drink a beer or two every now and then with a good dinner.

You make these judgements about people based upon so little knowledge or understanding... so its very unattractive to me when people do that... but in saying that I fully respect your opinion and as long as you make it clear very early on in all your relationships with people I think there is nothing wrong with it... I find smokers in general very unattractive so I get it.

Apple1996 · Answer

Its 2022, everyone has anxiety, depression, some other problem like if smoking helps them then I could really care less. I don't smoke but if others want to then go ahead.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

It is getting worse, like a habit as bad a regular smoking. What I find disturbing is so man smoke weed and then go out and drive and think they are just as good as before but yet they are talking slower to me and have slower reflexes.

Like maybe you shouldn't be driving if your talking in slow motion.

Our society is coming apart. We are approaching the final stage.
“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations is less than 300 years. During those years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage
“These words were written two years before George Washington became our first President.

Lionman95 · Answer

Because people have more anxieties so they look for solutions. It´s a trend to try pot so more and more people do it.

TallAnon · Answer

Because it's becoming more legal and easier to get. I do get the sentiment, but for me it's the same as alcohol or smoking. I'm Dutch, weed has been "legal" there forever, many of my friends used it, even at as early as 10-11 years old, this is horrible. Even then, there is overwhelming evidence that weed is less harmful than alcohol consumption, yet many people disregard that out of habits and traditions.
Personally I have never done weed, never smoked and never had alcohol, however, I do drink cola and I do eat unhealthily. It's all the same, we're all just using substances to influence our mood and performance. So I don't judge anyone too harshly for any of these things. It seems to be human nature, heck, knowing dolphins do drugs, it's just nature.

Slartybartfast · Answer

Caffeine is my muse but an Ex of mine hated coffee so I didn't drink it. My ex wife didn't like the smell of beer so I didn't drink when I was married, the irony is she smokes cigarettes which I can't stand but I just lived with it and never said anything about it. I've never smoked (I mean I've tried both tobacco and marijuana I just don't like smoking) but I don't judge or criticize peoples habits unless it affects me.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

When technology was weaker, people had to create their own happiness and were mentally occupied with problem solving but now children become passive receivers and not proactive seekers so they grow up armed with huge appetites and no intellectual resources on how to fulfill their potential, the result being, self-abandonment.

SlothySlob · Answer

Two reasons. It's becoming more and more easily accessible, contemporary belief is that it's medicinal.

People tend to forget that too much of something, even if it's good for you, becomes bad for you.

1) it is cheap now
2) They want to escape reality because Biden as screwed things up so bad
3) They only make $12 an hour and that is like $1 an hour with inflation.

I saw a help wanted sign here for fast food for $15 an hour. What they don't tell you is that you will be doing the job of 4 people. I mean they would pay $30 an hour if they can get the work of 4 people out of you.

Paul09 · Answer

Huh? Cigarette smokers stink 24\7 , they also smoke way more. Spend a lot more. And is a addictive habit. Weed helps mentally and physically. Way better than taking pills. I personally wish edibles were better. What is the purpose of cigarettes? Oh and they poplute way more. So what do you say about people that drink alcohol? Is ok I bet.. Every weed smoker I met was very nice too.

When I was growing up, everybody I was around except for one friend and myself all smoked weed and ended up doing other drugs. Me and my one clean friend would always leave whenever the others were getting their drugs out.

BeMuse · Answer

A lot of people always smoked weed. Most were just not out in the open about it because of the legal consequences. With many states legalizing it for recreation purposes people don't feel they need to hide it anymore.

Smoking weed is actually better than drinking. You never had a man kill another man under the influence of weed. Some of the most powerful people in this world have been weed or even tobbacco smokers. However, like everything, it has to be done in moderation.

Shamalien · Answer

... people who are judgmental about weed are usually misinformed. If someone sits on their ass watching tv all day then yeah they are a loser, but some people use weed in a creative and productive way and lead full lives. Alcohol is a far worse drug, do you judge people similarly for having a glass of wine with dinner?

genericname85 · Answer

what about alcohol? you respect someone that drinks alcohol?

libsaretards · Answer

Because it is not conventional and people LOVE to feel like they are some kind of rebel.

Anonymous · Answer

It’s better for you than alcohol and doesn’t end up with people getting fights and stuff like that. Also people are bored of alcohol, they want to explore a less familiar experience, and ponder how our culture could be different with more weed influence rather than alcohol. Most people take edibles rather than smoke nowadays.
