Marijuana is a drug. All drugs are bad. Short-term you might not notice any side effects but when you are smoking it for a long time it will have a negative effect on your health, at least from the smoke alone. Smoking is bad for your lungs. You can't deny that. That alone should be enough reason to not legalize it.
There is research out there that marijuana use leads to psyhological problems. Of course determining if there were already psyhological problems to begin with is hard to prove so smoking could have just worsened any existing conditions.
The problem with weed is how it is promoted as being "cool" by rappers. Kids think its cool to smoke weed and use it as a way to "fit in" with the other cool kids. This is a major issue that isn't going to go away anytime soon. Legalizing marijuana will only make kids have easier access to this drug. |
So you are saying we should ban tobacco as well then, that's so crazy

There is definitive proof that tobacco causes cancer and many other health problems.(such as heart disease) Yes, they should bn tobacco. You can't imagine how glad I was when they banned smoking indoors.

VGKing you talk about long term damage but who on this site remembered that d21 drove an explorer from an old ass thread?

Everyones brain is different. I never said weed damages your memory. I'm sure you've noticed some negative side effects though. No drug is without side effects and the longer you take it, the more serious and damaging they will be. You say weed isn't so bad but take a moment to research how many negatives there can be and if you still want to take that chance then go ahead.
