Well, it was for me, I smoked weed once and then immediately started blowing thai ladyboys for 10 bhat per dick. It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times.
Eventually I grew out of it, now I'm a very happy orthobro and trad influencer. Praise be to Jesus.

Why should the civil liberties of others be hampered because YOU ruined your life with shitty decisions?

Should sugar be banned because we have an obesity epidemic? Fuck you, I'm in great shape and I like my sugar from time to time, and it shouldn't be withheld from me just because limp wristed faggots like you have no self control.

If you believe in victimless crimes (no, you cannot be both the victim and the offender of the same crime), you're pants-on-head retarded.

ppl would resort to heroin rightaway, and weed consumption is still studied

it's all about personal control and strength of the will, so there really isn't a humane way of prevent future junkies from eventually becoming junkies.

That's just not true. Lots of people do opiates first, often when they are prescribed them for a legitimate reason, then when their script runs out they switch to street supplies.

I had a friend who started smoking weed, it progressed to shrooms. The shrooms completely rewired his brain. I mean he started acting like a completely different and MUCH more insufferable person. Slowly over time his drug use put him at odds with his family and friends including me. He ended up changing his name to another man's name, told me he was a girl now, tried to fuck his mom while he was high, and apparently got raped by his drug dealer at least once while he was passed out, or so he said. He also would never shutup about aliens and how trees/plants were alive and taking over the world and other hippy shit. Then he disappeared and I haven't seen him in years now. I really miss the guy but at this point he's either dead or completely off his fucking rocker. All of this happened within 2 years of him smoking weed.

I'm not going to say weed was the cause of all this it was just the beginning of his drug journey, but psychedelics can completely ruin your life apparently. I seen it with my own eyes day by day.

Isn't there a lot of good research that says marijuana use can trigger schizophrenia? Like... There are people that have the latent capacity for becoming a schizophrenic, but may go their entire lives without it ever manifesting. But weed can flick that switch. Anecdotally, I've known people who say they knew people who this happened to. Normal people, smoked a bunch of devil's lettuce, now they're crazy.

Not for me. And when it started getting too strong, like trip out city strong instead of mild buzz with mates, I stopped, overnight. After a couple of weeks of intense dreams it was gone. See ya. Also, I never liked the culture. We had our own. Camping, night hikes, playing in bands (underground metal) AND youthful mischief... the stories I could tell. Great days.

Just the shear retardation of street drug users should be enough to convince normal people, the good people of society that all drugs, especially mariijuana should be criminalized and prosecuted to a high degree. There is no better way to keep niggers and white trash in their McDonald's job than probation and no chance at getting student loans. It keeps society structured, sober, and sane.

I don't think people smoke weed and then wake up one morning and go

but if they buy weed from a dealer, they also already know where to get harder stuff. removes one hurdle that could have prevented them from making that mistake.

weed still stunts your brain development though. If you started after 25 it would be a bit different. Shit is still poison. Ignoring the drug itself, tobacco is radioactive and you got it in your lungs when you smoke. Without knowing or googling cus im lazy, im sure weed is exactly the same, or at least similar. Lots of shit in stuff that you smoke, its not supposed to go in the lungs.

dudeweeds don't want to accept this.
Fact: Every opiate or meth addict started with weed.
Fact: Weed users have a much higher than baseline chance of becoming an opiate or meth addict.
Fact: If most opiate and meth addicts never had access to weed, most of them would have never become addicts.
Fact: Weed use is far higher in the convicted criminal population than the baseline.

But dudeweeds don't operate on facts. Their arguments boil down to
>dude but I don't use meth, that means literally no weed users have ever used meth!!!
>dude but [successful meme celebrity] smoked weed every day??? that means ALL weed users are successful!!!
>weed is good for you because [anecdote]!!!!!

Yah... arguing with dudeweeds is a waste of time and only drags you down to their level. Just insult them on sight and move on. They should be made to feel bad about their choices every second of their lives.

I know what you mean but it would be more accurate to say but all crack heads smoked pot. People I have known who went down the hard drug route had contempt for weed. It wasn't strong enough for them. If they couldn't get their fix they would rather drink than smoke weed.

Kind of.

My reaction the first time I smoked weed was "this is it?" I'd been told my whole life how evil, addictive, and mind-numbing weed was. When I finally tried it myself, I realized it was more mild than alcohol. It made me realize my parents, DARE, the police, and many others lied to me about or exaggerated the dangers of marijuana. It made me wonder what else they lied to me about so around the same time I tried more extreme drugs.

If society had been honest with me about the reality of marijuana, I probably wouldn't have felt compelled to test their lies with other drugs.

I had the opposite effect. Weed has always made me schiz out while high. I've done mushrooms many many times and even salvia. I trip harder from weed then I do from mushrooms sometimes. Not salvia though, fuck that shit. Literally transports you to hell.
