It can really change a person into something that they're not, and can ruin their entire lives if they take it too far.

not to sound like a know it all, but pot doesn't really do that...it's barely even a drug...what your talking about is more like drugs like shrooms, cocaine, LSD and heroin...those are bad drugs! Marijuana can be good and it can be bad; like as you said, it can be bad when you are driving. It can impair you somewhat, so driving should not be risked.
However, if pot was legalized, or decriminalized, the government would be the one's growing it and producing it. Odds are they would not add any of the chemicals/substances that most pot growers add. The pot would be of lower quality, and very un-effective. It would end up only being used for medical purpose's anyways(like it allready is in some places).
So in many people's opinions(mine included) it should not necisarily be legalized for the use of impairment, but for the use of medicine, or in use for medical treatmeants.
When it comes to smoking it for impairment, or for fun; pot should just be de-criminalized, in other words, you are allowed to hold a certain amount, and if you have over that amount, only then can you get punished for holding it. I think thats what it means, thats it in short terms.
here's an extra bit : it's good for headaches...and people who have insomnia. It is also good for people with eating disorders, because it gives them the "munchies"
|
But it can lead to other drugs. Like, LSD, cocain, heroin, etc.

i dont think Cannibis should be legalized
only with the consent and perscription of a pro. doctor who actually knows that the patient needs the drugs and that the patient isnt just making up the story just to get drugs to hurt their bodies
also we r making so many drugs in this world
for some things yes we do need drugs but not for the little things such as headaches and sore muscles < for those problems just lay down and drink water and your headache will go away
and for sore muscles get a friend or family member just to rub the area for a little while and your muscle will stop hurting
and for all the people out there that are depressed and are taking drugs, druga arent the answers to your problems: dont be scared to get a phsychiatrist (dont think i spelled that right) they are helpful and will help you get rid of your depression.
Alcohol shouldnt be labeled as a drug it is a drink
and drinking isnt the answer to a depressed or emotionally hurt person either

Yes that is true, however if taken in moderation pot can be good. Personally I've been smoking pot every once and a while since December 2003, and it is the only drug I have been interested in. Eventually, I will get bored of it and stop. It is not addicting so therefore it will complely my decision.

Acid is a powerful wicked drug, though. NEVER, EVER take acid! EVER. Bad trips can be permanent, and even if you quit, you can still have an episode yrs later because it fries your brain.

Well my friend smoked some weed that was laced with it, and she said shes never been more miserable in her entire life (and she has chronic depression) She said she was f*cked up in the mind for over a week...she wanted to kill herself, and at one point she even came out of her body and saw herself dieing...  Pretty freaky stuff...it also triggered very serious panic attacks, and her phyciatrist is very worried about her. All this because of a few tokes of some bad weed...so if your going to smoke weed, always check to make sure it's just weed...
other drugs like ecstacy, usually have heroin and coccaine in them. plus it can kill you even if it's your first time and you only have one tab. I'm not going to risk that. Pot, even if you do alo of it, it will not kill you. However doing it alot is bad because the more you do the more brain cells you kill

Well, drugs tend to intensify (is that an english word?) your feelings. People with a depression will do best to stay away from weed. I suffer from chronical depression and I have been warned several times by doctors and by people who have experienced it, to stay away from it. (Not that I ever really wanted to do drugs) What your friend experienced seems to be the general effect it has on us serotonine-lacking kids. Not good....

no, she didn't get that from the weed. She's been smoking it for several years...just the weed was what we call "laced" with LSD, which means someone had put LSD in the weed. She didn't know, but there must have been alot of it in the weed...the LSD caused everything, not the weed

That's because she has chronic depression. It is sooo dangerous to do chemicals when you are clinically depressed. That's why when you do chemicals you have to be in a stable mood at that time.
I hope your friend is doing alright

And I'll keep digging, till I feel something.

She's better now...well the acid highness wore off...however...she started gettin panic attacks and then she started cutting herself, and she's never cut herself until now. So actually, she is now living in a house for depressed teens...she had to go there last year and now she's back in...I hope it helps more this time...
