Its clear that most people here don't know what substance-addiction means... You know when you just can't stop going on VGChartz no matter how much you try? Well, that's exactly how it is. You can become addicted TO ANYTHING.

Some harder drugs make you physically dependent also, but you should all know that marijuana is not physically addictive at all, yet the alcahol most of you regularly enjoy is.

I can prove its not physically addictive (and I have done this many times). I smoke shitloads of weed over a period of months, and then stop - cold turkey - not taking anything at all. I've never had a problem. It's never been hard. I've done this for periods of 3 weeks, with my longest being a few years.

So don't say bad things about pot if you know nothing about it. It should be just as legal as alcahol, if not more so since its natural and grows in the backyard.

And thats why I will also never touch a cigarette again.

1. I smoke more than most pot smokers. To give you an idea, I'm in the middle of exams and have smoked every day the last month. Yesterday I smoked 3 times and already twice today. If your friends pay a lot then that's their choice. Some people like the expensive stuff (sometimes its worth it), but don't argue that they are wasting money on weed when its one of the cheapest things to do. Just how much does the average college student spend on beer eh?

2. You clearly have no idea what I'm saying.

3. Once again missing my point: The argument here isn't legality! It was a financial consideration. You're the one missing the point, not the stoner who smokes every day - now there's something to consider.

well its like $50 for an eigth where i'm from i believe.

i clearly don't understand what your saying. people waste money on lots of stupid things. eating out everyday is SUCH as waste of money. smoking is insanely expensive as well.

i believe someone said the government could TAX marijuana right? how? to me it sounds like you are saying that everyone is going to be growing weed in their back yard.

so now WHY do you want marijuana legalized? so what you can smoke in public? that won't happen, you can barely smoke cigarettes now a days in public. is it so that its basically FREE for you to smoke then? its obviously not because it woudl make it easier. you can easily find marijuana and seem to be able to smoke everyday without trouble from the law.

legalizing marijuana would not do a damn thing about drug cartels, they woudl just move onto the next drug.

That bolded part is all I'm saying. I haven't spoken about legalization at all as I'm quite on the fence about that. I think it should be legal, but its a lot more fun the way things are now.

I simply responded to your statement by basically saying that you cannot bring the cost of marijuana into the debate at all. Its a non-factor.

EDIT: I'm gonna bow out for the night, go smoke a nice joint and do some work...Peace 

Yes, I blaze up regularly.
Been smoking it for over 10 years, never tried any other drug.
I never knew there were so many born again christians on here. lol.
I don't drink alcohol.
Alcohol is shit.

Wow so much pot hate and misinformation. Kind of sad in this day and age that people still buy that BS. Oh well. I'm an avid pot smoker, a gram a day for at least 5 years now. Been smoking since i was eighteen so about 8 years now. Still been working the whole time. Also been able to save money so I can start my own business soon. I dont waste too much money on it as I grow it legally for my personal use right now. I also have no health problems as of now and usually get told how healthy I am when I go to the doctors. I know anecdotal info, but so is a lot in this thread. I say pot does not define people, but people do, if pot was able to ruin your life and push you into other drugs than something else would have had pot not been around. Its their own mentality to be lazy or addictive. Not the pot. And yes the tattoo in my pic is mine :)

Totally agree...

OT: yeah, I ocasiaonally smoke pot. A couple of years ago i used to do it on almost a daily basis for a good couple of months, but since then I only smoke pot like once a month or so, when Im with a friend, and ONLY if I know that Im getting quality stuff. I used to smoke everything, but yet again I have to agree with Blaydcore, the everyday, mixed-up, buy it at a corner pot, is just overrated...

Well your nice arn't you, well i run the marathon and a 10k each year with good times my lungs are great (doctors comment) and i breathe just fine i smoke 20 cigs a day and like a joint or 2 when i'm relaxing

you do realise that alcohol kills more people each year than all the other drugs combined the amount of misinformation being thrown around here is rediculous most of the negatives come when young kids smoke it while there brain is still developing and any drug whilst your body is going through that period is bad news!

I can't speak for everybody as were all different and these things will affect us all differently i love the stuff and i hate drinkin (been T-Total for 3 years) it's turns me into someone i'm not

now if you want to see a drug do harm come and look at some of the heroin addicts i have to deal with everyday

Nope doing drugs is for losers. I don't need any sort of drug to feel "normal". I love how weed smokers feel the need to brag that they do, and how cool it is. But it's not....and your not.
