People against pot use- your reasons?

If we had a vote today by the whole country pot use would be legal tomorrow.

Smoking it right now... so I can say, without a doubt, that I support it. xD

I used to smoke hash (the resin that comes off of marijuana). After a couple months I realized that it was making me lazy and lowering my cognitive abilities to the point where I was struggling to function in my day to day activities. Not only is weed NOT harmless, it'll make you into a vegetable over time.

No. The mental effects of alcohol are temporary and nicotine actually helps me to focus on work and hobbies.

Yes. There's plenty of evidence out there that weed is harmful.

I'm having a joint

Let them judge me all they want

My biggest reasons are that it stunts brain development in teens. People that might think it's cool to do at an early age will suffer from it later.

A second reason is that marijuana abuse and dependency is real. It's not as bad as other substances out there, but it can still keep a person from living their best lives.

That said, I smoke pot and drink and spend hours a day on the web. My life's been in the shitter for decades, so I'm not a fixer upper that weed is limiting. It has lots of uses, but let's not treat it like a miracle drug. It's perfectly fine if used responsibly.

I'm not against anyone else using it but it would be medically unsafe for me to use it given that it exacerbates certain illnesses which direct members of my family have had.

Pot typically destroys ambitions and relationships, leading to poverty and depression. Use it sparingly, if at all.

it's a crutch like alcohol and cigs. People want to complain about the state their life is in yet they make up many excuses for why they use.

Well it can trigger schizophrenia, psychosis and panic in some people. Me included. But my biggest gripe is that you can't be around people using it without using it yourself. If it came in pill form it would be better. Not everyone wants to smoke it second hand.

Some people have a problem with fun.

You are young, if you’ve used it for years at your age you will probably have chronic high blood pressure when you are older.

I’m for it! Personally I’m concerned about smoke inhalation for the effect on the lungs, but there are other ways to enjoy marijuana.

Weed like alcohol and cigarettes is a poison

I’m not against pot use. But I think smoking anything is inconsiderate, since smoke cannot be contained within one’s immediate environs, even in an apartment building. There are so many other methods now of consumption that needn’t affect anyone else.

I only think it’s silly ( but totally none of my business) when getting high is used as a replacement for actually going out & doing things, having fun etc to make sitting in a room fun. That does strike me as a bit dumb. But it’s not as if I don’t choose stupid stuff on occasion myself. The only other thing that led me concerned was the case of my Uncle Pat. He loved pot, loved to grow it & smoke his own crop. He never did any other drugs. Didn’t drink alcohol not even coffee. But he did smoke weed everyday from the age of 12- when he died in his 50s. All my childhood & a brief part of my adult life he was in I thought my uncle was a bit weird. He always spoke slow & seemed kinda dumb. I loved this man very much. But other than working he acted like he was teenager. He didn’t have a disability of any kind. So I was always cautious of perhaps the type of marijuana or extended use, improper smoke ventilation etc it’s never something I forgot. But I still don’t care for it to be illegal. Cannabis has provided much relief for many different ailments to people I personally know. So I am happy for its positive impact.
