Hmmm...

I mean, bouts of anxiety can happen like that, but it's strange that it affected you so strongly. Did you smoke more than usual that time?

The only reason it's illegal in your country is due to pressure from the United States.

As our states start legalizing, other countries will too. It's already starting, the tides of change and all that.

I don't smoke weed, but I definitely think it should be legalized. I'd rather have people around me getting high than smoking cigarets or drinking. And I often hear counterarguments like "well, then everyone would get high and not do their job". Right, well how come everyone is not getting drunk on work and stuff? There are appropriate situations for everything. If weed is legalized it doesn't mean that smoking on your job place will be allowed.

It should be treated like Alcohol (Legal for 21+) because it has shown to negatively affect brain growth in adolescents.

Personally I quit smoking weed and I don't really like it. Even though being high feels great I found with a lot of my friends that their lives became consumed by it. All they did was worry about trying to find weed, then when they found it they only worried about finding more. It made them kinda lame and most of them don't have very good lives right now.

I never touched it but I believe it should definitely being legalized. Makes no sense that it isn't but yet tobacco, alcohol, opiates, and other drugs are legal and its not. When its safer than everything else.

I think if the 'government' had a good accurate way to sell and especially tax it.. Then it would become legal hell of a lot quicker than it is now.

just being on this site and being more into criminal justice (having to do a project on weed)

its not that bad at all of course.
i think it should be 18 and up, like cigs which are more harmful.

really nothing to bad about it, shouldnt drive after smoking it i would say.
medically useful.

just everyone in highschool become burnouts from doing nothing but smoking weed

I feel like this is a major concern for a lot of people. Even Sentus mentioned how he saw his friends become consumed by marijuana. Considering most people begin smoking weed in their adolescent years, when they're most easily influenced, I can see how weed ends up being the bad guy up against all the innocent kids just trying to have a fun time and shit like that. But to me, it's like, if you can't properly handle yourself with marijuana then honestly how responsible are you as an individual? The same people would no better handle alcohol or even other mental addictions like porn.

I first smoked weed when I was 15, and I'm now 17. On average I smoke every 3-4 months. Not because I can't be smoking right now but because I choose to. I could easily go the rest of my life without smoking again. I think people just need to be more mature with their choices, especially when it comes to an illegal drug. But I guess it's irresponsible to expect kids to be responsible, lmao.

I'm really tired right now and just finished writing an essay so hopefully everything I said makes sense, I'm burned the balls out.

Also I've watched this, and I suppose it's very informative but it's seriously one sided. It makes weed out to be the greatest thing on earth.

Im starting to think its not the drug thats the problem, its the douchbags selling it and all the cool kids using it.

If it were to be legalized from like 21+, maybe in some 50 years the coolnes of it will go down and people will only use it for "good".
But I dont know. Alcohol is legal here to drink from 18 but only legal to buy from 20 (stupid) and people still drink it from their early 14s. I did and all my friends. Been consuming liqour ever since then almost every weekend and now Im 21. Cant say my memory is as good as it was before. I still remember things clearly from when I was a kid about 4-5 years old, but having trouble remember what happened last night :/
Alcohol is a big problem here for a lot of people.

I'm sort of on the fence of recreational marijuana, but I think medicinal MJ should be 100% legal.

Exactly, but kids are abusing alcohol and cigs under aged as well so I think it should be legal with a cap.
Even though that cap will be broken like booze and cigs, it at least provides some comfort to others.

How has weed affected you if you don't smoke all the time? Cause all of my friends smoke daily and are pretty much retarded, so I'm looking for affects of an occasional user
