Some people handle weed better than others. I smoke every night and I have 5 classes and work around 35 hours a week. I function fine and maintain a GPA over 3.5. And I try to run a few miles a few times a week and I never have problems doing it. A lot of people who smoke were already screw ups before they started smoking. That's why people tend to think smokers have like IQs of 50 and can't focus on anything. Any person with good self control can smoke everyday and still function in their job or education perfectly fine.

That's a point I made earlier. Because of it's bad reputation a lot of it's users are very unintelligent so everyone associates it with screw-ups. A common misconception IMO.  

if it becomes legal, i hope people doesn't influence others to smoke it and create more users.

It'll be like cigarettes all over again! Everyone will get peer pressured into it because it's "cool" and then there'll be crappy "hip" commercials trying to convince teens to stop smoking weed with the use of internet memes and dubstep (or whatever will be the new thing) in a few years or so.  

Honestly, why should anyone even care if others smoke weed like damn nobody gives a f***  

Legalize it so the economy can be better

Honestly, I don't think that would happen, nop, never, listen.. I know a lot of people smoke cigarettes and drink alcohols to look cool, I know someone who is constantly bragging about how he spent $50 everyday buying marijuana and smoking it.

but what I don't know, is everyone else's point of view. It may seem inhumane to you, to me, or to everyone else, but theres cannabis users that is dependant to what illicit drug they're using, what marijuana to us can be pictured sexual pleasure for them, you don't tell marijuana users to stop being a consumer of marijuana, you don't tell a smoker to stop smoking, UNLESS you have been in their shoes, because you are not them.

The truth is, illegal or not, people will continue to use them.

lmfao omg your mindset it hilarious

not everything is black and white  

Some of you have to follow the science instead of the ideology of cannabis. Legalizing it won't encourage people to pursue it. In Colorado, cannabis has actually led to a drop in the number of young people using it. Medically speaking, there is a chemical found in marijuana that has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. If you don't want to bake or smoke it, that's on you. You may have a bad image about it, but for others it helps cope with their medical/emotional issues.

Legalize marijuana, but have restrictions just like Alcohol and Smoking does. I'd say minimum age should be 18+ and identification is needed to buy or consume it.  

If someone falls for peer pressure....Ur an idiot lol  

let the states decide if it should be legal or not. Thats up to them not the feds

That's like saying you shouldn't tell someone to not drink bleach because you "haven't been in their shoes." They have a reason for smoking, and I have a reason to want someone to not smoke.

(I'm not comparing bleach to weed. I'm comparing the two analogous situations.)

I know so many people that are screw ups because of weed, not the other way around. You must have an extreme fixed mindset.

Even if you're right, are you saying that unintelligent people chose to smoke weed purely out of an irrational decision?
