Are you a judgmental person?

Question

I ask this because I really struggle with getting on board with legalising marijuana.
In the uk it's still a class b drug. These go alongside speed, cannabis, ketamine, mephedrone and some amphetamines.

Basically you can up to five years in prison or an unlimited fine (or both).

I've watched some people manage a decent life of cannabis and others who don't really amount to anything and live with severe depression.
For the most those that use long term use it as self medication for things like anxiety and depression which is sad.

I've smoked it myself so I know what it's like and as fun as it was I personally didn't enjoy it enough to want to stay on that ride.
I personally don't have anything in my life that I need to escape. Which is why I don't really drink alcohol anymore.
We're not all the same, which I get.
I really hate the adaptions like skunk and spice and all these other shit mind bending derivatives that have followed because they say mj is a gateway drug.
I dunno I worry about the long term effects on the people using. Well just of close friends and family...

I smoke weed regularly and you wouldn't even notice when I'm stonned. It was more fun smoking with friends when I was younger, now I mostly do it alone when I got nothing to do. It is simply a short term pleasure to both body and mind that does not leave any side effects unlike many, many other products that do (alcohol, sugar, meds...). The best I could describe it is that it enhances what I am already feeling, so I only take it when I'm feeling good. A great way to start or end a good day!

The truth is, marijuana is just like anything else, people get addicted to many things there are no rules. It is a risk like with everything, it all depends on someone's personality. I know some people who are also regular smokers and they are like zombies but it's not weed that destroyed them (know some of them who quit long ago but are still fucked up). I know some who take it maybe twice a year and others who never tried and never will. So yeah any pleasure in life should be done with discipline and balance in order not to become addictive to it. And no one should have the right to forbid something that is from mother nature, pure and was there free and available on this planet for centuries. Alcohol is legal, prescription drugs are legal, killing animals for food is legal, AI is taking over the world and we are still debating about marijuana? It's legal where I live and nobody makes a fuss about it here, you're more likely to be judged by drinking coca cola, lol.

Yes, I am. I used to be all for legalizing marijuana. I would never want to use it personally, but I can see that there are some people who can truly medically benefit from it and it's a much better alternative than hard prescription drugs. After going to vegas, where it is legal for recreation, and realizing that the entire town smells like skunk shit, I am no longer for recreational public use. I would still be fine with people using it on their own personal property, though.

There's nothing wrong with smoking it. The problem is people often go overboard and make stupid choices. Like any drug, it should be done in moderation. It does have beneficial health benefits. The reason these drugs are illegal in a lot of places is because the governments like to have control over import/export, and if it became legal 100%, the citizens would be making all the money.

I do think people abuse this drug. I mean, these people that smoke it every single day, if they can't even start the day without lighting up, they've got a problem. It does make a lot of people lazy. The people that I know that smoke it like this, you won't even see them walking outside to check the mail.

Smoking in moderation helps keep priorities straight. I think it's a safe drug. A lot safer than cancer sticks, I mean ciggs, lol. As long as people keep doing stupid things when smoking it, it'll remain to have a bad name.

I used to smoke it occasionally to treat my social anxiety and severe panic disorder. I really wish I had something to help with that now, lol. Hopefully, people realize the health benefits, but also the downsides.

First, let's get a definition of what is- and isn't- the "active" ingredient in a particular batch of the stuff. THC is the psychoactive fraction of marijuana/cannabis, the part that can make your mind go nuts. There is another fraction of cannabis- the CBD's- that is not psychoactive. As a Massage Therapist, I have access to CBD preparations, both as supplements and as an ingredient in skin lotions/creams. I have clients that use the CBD as either a relaxant pill or liquid, or as an ingredient in the skin products. The majority claim it helps them.
One quick note - products such as Hempvana cash in on the "pot effect". It's a sham, but the makers word their ads very carefully so as to imply that the "hemp" is the critical ingredient in the blends. The active pain relievers are either Trolamine Salicylate or Lidocaine, depending on the specific product. They are "enriched" with hemp seed oil, which is simply that- an oil. An emollient, at best. Not a psychotropic, not a pain reliever, just some grease, and certainly not worth the price tag. You have been warned. :- )

It’s not even a real solution. Anybody can see that.

They’re not even present when high. They’re already dead in that aspect.

a solution to a problem is changing that scenario..

a solution to a medical condition is giving your body the things it lacks… to function properly.

If I get headaches from a vitamin deficiency- I need that vitamin to function…

taking prescribed marijuana is just numbing the pain- it’s not actually solving the issue.

So the more they take it, the more their problems stay unresolved or take longer to solve.

If they use it while trying to change their way of living. Maybe, MAYBE they can be calm enough to work hard and consistently.

Otherwise they should just find other ways to calm themselves without having a lack of control, and a lack of awareness.

EpicSnail · Answer

I oppose smoking regardless of what you're smoking. Smoking is inherently selfish, as you're forcing people around you to breathe in air you have polluted with mind-altering substances that damage people's health.

Marijuana in other forms I would have less issue with but I fucking hate that aficionados are always sermonizing about how wonderful it is. I think it can turn people into real coldhearted pieces of shit.

All the people who want to legalize it have most likely been smoking it illegally, thus funding deadly gang wars.

Surely · Answer

I agree with what you are saying. If drugs with mind altering side effects would be used responsibly. Then maybe I would go along with some legalization. But people will use them for recreational purposes and mix then with other narcotics. Then while under the influence. Will drive a car and injure or kill someone and not want to take responsibility.
I often wonder if the physical, emotional and mental problems are not related to the drug usage of the parents, grandparents or even great grandparents back in the Vietnam era. Meaning that the drug usage caused DNA deformities over the years and now it has become obvious?

Im not judgmental but i think weed should be treated like alcohol. People dont get stoned and have fist fights like getting drunk does. Alcohol also destroys lives , and can physically kill you if you have too much. If you overdose on weed its called “Greening out” and you puke and pass out you dont need to go to a hospital

It's legal in Canada, and the majority of people I know that were never into it still don't use it.

The only thing it did was allow those people that used it illegally, use it legally, that is the only difference.

najekim · Answer

I'm allergic to pot. Even the smell on someone makes me nauseous.

I'll support the legalization of organic recreational drugs, but only in the privacy of one's house. Luckily the couple friends we have that do partake goes through the effort to rid their home of the odor if we're coming over.

menina · Answer

Yes, unfortunately I am a judgmental person. I'm trying to change that but it's not easy. As for marijuana I don't think it should be legalized. No drugs should be legalized, except for medicine.

Buttajah · Answer

While I'm no more of a advocate
of alcohol and the selling of it.
I don't have to be judgmental to
see and weigh the effects of
marijuana, medical or recreational.
The THC or tetrahhydrocannabinol
has relieving effects on chronic
pain, such as arthritis. The negative
effects can be seen throughout
our society.

Yes, it is legal in many places in the US. I think it will make us a nation of zombies.

sheikalana · Answer

Very much LOL. I judge everyone in my head I just don't say anything and keep it to myself cuz that's none of my business.

Anonymous · Answer

It's funny you ask this question because I have a lady friend who is in AA at the moment. And she's recently been talking about her struggles. Obviously I don't WANT to judge her. But I also cannot relate to what she's saying. Honestly I have a hard time even believing she's got an addiction. Because she drank so little whenever we were together.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

I don't think it should be illegal. I just think that most potheads are annoying as shit.

I judge those who give me a reason to judge but before I know someone do I judge them? No

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Yes. I like to judge people at least in my head or in general manner.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

No…  But the reason for that is that I’ve suppressed lots of the bad things in myself. I am in no position to judge others.

Guardian45 · Answer

Yes, I can be. I don't tolerate idiots well. I try not to be.

I use CBD oil for medical purposes, and it has been a godsend. It's a shame that UK doesn't keep up with the rest of the world in drug classification.

Yes I am. Very much. I know each and everyone of my flaws intimately.
