Why This Cigarette Smoker Does Not Like Weed

[Anonymous]

The Devil’s Lettuce

It Shouldn’t Be Legalized

I don’t care how many of you potheads tell me: “It’s not a drug, it’s a plant.” It’s illegal for a reason. Bitter about getting your granja getting seized by the cops? Good. You shouldn’t be having it in the first place! Much like heroin and cocaine, weed should be kept illegal! 🤷🏻‍♀️

It Makes People Dumb

Smoking and ingesting weed kills brain cells. Look it up. Given the fact that the amount of young people subscribing to the use of this drug has increased substantially recently due to the idea that weed is “fun” and “harmless”, it makes sense that test scores are slipping. Weed also makes you lazy and unproductive, which can be a permanent side effect of long-term use.

It’s Addictive

Many people claim to partake in this drug because it “helps with their anxiety” or “helps them sleep”. Those are just excuses, and weak ones at that. Heavy, prolonged use of any drug is indicative of addiction. Yes, weed IS addictive. Look up the complications of daily weed use. Many potheads can’t even function without getting their fix by “waking and baking”.

It Can Be Lethal

You always hear about the alleged “benefits” of smoking weed, but have you ever noticed that the side effects and risks are often glossed over? There was recently NEWS about a guy who accidentally triggered a heart attack when he smoked weed for the first time. Weed is also linked to psychosis disorders, such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. 😑 Yet you kids keep insisting that weed is “harmless”. 🙄 Wake up and get out of your little fantasy lands.

It Stinks!

I loathe the scent that potheads give off whenever they walk past me. You’d may as well stop showering, while you’re at it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wouldn’t be surprised if potheads didn’t shower. As I’ve mentioned before, investing weed depletes cognitive function.

Yes I smoke cigarettes and I drink alcohol on occasion, as I am a woman of a certain age. However I am not addicted to any of this. Furthermore, my habits don’t impact my work life or social life at all. I can function just fine, cognitively and all. The bottom line is: Don’t do illegal substances and expect not to experience any negative side effects. Follow the law, like an upstanding citizen. PERIOD. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You have no real points here.

It's addictive.. wow... so it literally everything, it's up the individual if they want to take that risk. You smoke cigarettes and they're addictive, did you know cigarettes are as addictive as cocaine? I'm not judging you as I smoke myself I'm just making a point.

While weed does indeed kill brain cells, so does alcohol, nicotine and many more things. Study's show the effects in this way are slight, it tends to affect those who had a dependence on the drug before 18 the most and even then it was around 8 QI points by 38. I've never heard any real arguments for letting kids buy legal weed anyway. I'm assuming here you're talking about how when people are melted they act dumb which is true but once they sober up their fine, much like alcohol.

No one has ever died due to smoking, ingesting or whatever weed. That's simply fact, you can be affected by smoking it with tobacco and things like that which can lead to death but weed on it's own can't kill you. The heart attack you're talking about is a rare and isn't really a heart attack at all, it's stress or emotional pain that causes them the heart is not actually damaged at all. Weed can sort of be linked with some disorders we do know it does increase your risk of suffering psychosis but it's a very low risk as it stands currently, research points to the fact that weed might increase long-term psychiatric effects in susceptible people.

I hate the smell of many things but that's no reason they should be banned by law.

"It’s Addictive
Many people claim to partake in this drug because it “helps with their anxiety” or “helps them sleep”. Those are just excuses, and weak ones at that. Heavy, prolonged use of any drug is indicative of addiction. Yes, weed IS addictive. Look up the complications of daily weed use. Many potheads can’t even function without getting their fix by “waking and baking”."
So let me get this straight, a Cigarette user doesn't like weed because its addictive. The staggering amount of hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance here is just mindblowing.
This is also Blatantly false, There is no indication of it being physically addictive, psychologically maybe, but Cigarettes are WAY worse for you and PROVEN to be
3 Good Reasons Why Marijuana Should Be Legalized ↗

I like your take on this, but don't agree on everything. So for each point:
*"It shouldn't be legalized"*: There are pros and cons on both sides of this.
*"It makes people dumb, etc.": I fully agree. However, that's heavy chronic use. What about people who use it only for medicinal purposes when needed?
*"It's addictive"*: Yes, but not as addictive as alcohol and nicotine.
*"It can be lethal"*: I suppose so, but not as lethal as alcohol or cigarettes.
*"It stinks"*: Yes it does, and so do cigarettes and cigars.
The bottom line is: It's best to be free of any type of habit. And how can you point the finger at someone else's habit if you have one or two of your own?

[DazedElite]

But yet its be proven to help various medical conditions, the plant it self can be used in textiles can make glues, oil. But you know you just focus on the negative.

And in reference to your "weak excuse argument" there are people out there that suffer with chronic pain conditions are they simply using the fact that they smoke as a "weak excuse" what about people that suffer with ms and use various forms of cannabis to help with their symptoms.

How about you stop spreading you fear mongoring and come with some real facts not just hate you have happened to find on the Internet.

P. s whilst I'm thinking about while cannabis has been know to cause psychosis. I don't not believe it can cause mental health problems cannabis has a way of bring peoples character traits out for instance they say smoking cannabis makes you paranoid, when actually that person was paranoid to begin with the cannabis enhances said problem not causes it.

[TripleAce]

Thats a bit inaccurate...

1. Of course its a drug, no one said it isn't. Advil is a drug too

2. The problem is abusing cannabis while still developing say in your teens. After your brain fully develops, weed won't change that unless heavily abused over years of usage. Using constantly of course will produce negative side effects

3. It is addictive yes, what they mean by its not 'addictive' is that it doesn't produce a physical withdrawal like tobacco... say a first time smoker smokes cannabis at age 25 for 10 times every weekend. They won't feel heavy withdrawal at all. But smoke 10 cigarettes and you will feel quite significant withdrawal effects...

4. It can be lethal if you have an underlining issue not on its own in a healthy person

occasional to moderate use should be fine for most, heavy usage is obviously where things change

Developing anxiety/stress cardiomyopathy (broken heart syndrom) is very rare and people who experience it recover in a few weeks and their hearts don't sustain any permanent damage. Recurrence only happens in 5-10% of patients. The man had a harmless heart attack from the straw that broke the camel's back.

[Doodabeat]

Meaning he already felt such strong and persistent stress and anxiety in every waking moment of his life that the anxiety attack he got from the weed was able to tip the scale.

[Doodabeat]

His heart hit the reset button.

If Willy fucking Nelson can be on the planet as long as he has then I'm sorry but your arguments are invalid.

It only stunts develop mental growth in adolescence, weed is only dangerous when you have very low blood pressure, because it helps lower your blood pressure. And as far as addictive, id rather have someone in my family be addicted to pot that opiates, witch are very addictive and very easy to overdose on.

[ZicoLad96]

It cures Cancer plus Numerous other things its not addictive (nicotine is) no one has ever overdosed or died from taking cannabis... in fact its in our D. N. A. Look that up "Dick Head"

[codycccccccccc]

Ok I'll just go shut down your hospital and greatly defund your road repair and cops and then ill take the billions of dollars we could have spent on those things and give it to criminals organizations so they can kill are cops and destroy are cities

[codycccccccccc]

Not to mention saying a big fuck you to the military men and women who need it to help deal with PTSD and many others mental illness

[mynesterion]

Don't like it, don't use it. Simple as that. Freedom of choice is what we should be striving for.

[J3nny]

I don't care. As long as the people who need it get it. It helps people with a lot of mental problems and such. Gold coming from a cigarette smoker.

[linaashxx]

“Look it up” killed the argument. You need reference and statistics to supplement & validate your arguments.

[baseballfreak70]

All the biggest losers In my area smoke weed & then go out in public. they smell like a skunk where ever they go.

[BornFree]

You sound very clueless and lack any sense of reality

[Anonymous]

Sorry, but the hypocrisy of this silliness coming from a cigarette smoker is just too much to get past.

[MisterSir]

points three, four and five can also be said about cigarettes, no?

[Alpha09]

Then don't smoke weed. Problem fucking solved lol.

[MackToday]

Weed is dangerous almost as dangerous as tobacco.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Just like drinkaholics don't drink wine.

[Anonymous]
