I think it can be really harmful mentally....but any drug can be harmful that relaxes you......Caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, sugar, the list could go on......
Medicinal purposes there are other drugs that can do better than good ole' mary jane....I think MJ's negatives also outweigh the positives........I acknowledge the other legal pain drugs have their side effects but since they are legal it would probably be better to go with them.......
I haven't smoked for 2 and a half years......Most people that smoke try to argue that weed isn't addicting but I beg to differ......I smoked for about 9-10 years and it was really hard to quit smoking.......If it wasn't for my first daughter being born I probably would still be smoking......
I used to be pro mary jane but after leaving her alone I can see alot of the troubles dat beacth caused me
.....I've probably spent more on weed than anything else in life including food, shelter, etc......Maybe cigs would be a little bit more because of the longer duration of smoking cigs but IDK because cigs are cheaper
I used to easily smoke about a half ounce a day.........If you say a cappy weed half cost $40, take $40 * 3650= $146,000.....I normally would find ways to not pay $40 but nonetheless that would probably be a low average anyways.....
As long as I got high, nothing else mattered really......It helped me run away from my problems of the past, present, and the future.........But I would steal, sell, rob, pretty much anything to make sure I would have me a couple of blunts a day.......I've lost friends because of it or I lost friends because after they got sick of just getting high on weed they wandered to more hardcore drugs.......
Obviously not every person will react how my mind did to getting high........my bloodlines consist of my father being a pothead and a coke addict that died of an OD, and my mother is a pothead/alcoholic/plus she tried many of the harder drugs while growing up.....So the probably paved the way for my genes to love getting high......
When I found out I was going to be a dad, I instantly quit because I did want to put my child through the same things I went through as a child......Sometimes getting high crosses my mind but immediately I know how stupid it would be because it would ruin everything I've worked for the last two+ years......I have never been able to control or moderate my usage of any illegal drugs I have got high off of........I don't drink now because I can't moderate that either........I try to avoid narcotic pain relievers i.e vicodin even Tylenol 3's......The drugs effects make me want to get higher than what I feel when taking them as directed.......
I do not believe legalizing it would have any good effect for society........Although people get killed over weed either during production and/or while disbursing it, it would just get replaced by another illegal drug... The pot dealer if their not already dealing something else, would find another opportunity to keep their income coming....If it was legal the governments around the world would make it law that they were exclusive dealers of it.....And they would make just as much money as they do now while it is illegal.....I will go out on a limb and say police budgets are highly dependent on pot fines and government money aides to combat weed.....
I don't hate potheads or neither am I an anti-drug person but I do feel badly for all the people who get affected indirectly or directly by Marijuana or any other illegal drug......I feel people should have the right to make their own decisions.......The only problem I have with potheads is that no matter what their drug use is gonna affect somebody else whether they intend it to or not.....
I do believe alcohol does a helluva lot more damage than weed.....It makes no sense that pot is illegal and alcohol is legal by any means
