over six and a half thousand potheads have read this post.

I have to admit, it's kind of funny seeing as how it does rape your short term memory. I am a former pothead. I choose not to smoke anymore but I think it should be legal. I don't agree with lacing the weed though. You can turn a good person bad with that.

yes im for the legalization of marijuana, but to say there's no proof that it does any harm is kinda incorrect. it makes your memory go to shit.

you think you got called out? I came into class blazed as **** and a girl behind me said, "umm excuse Ms. Johnson? I'm allergic to smoke so can I change seats?" and the teacher looked at me, and I giggled. FML yet i totally deserved it.

oh and grow some ballz. sure the teacher called you out, but all the times ive been called out i just laugh it off. when it comes to weed, you just gotta giggle.

holy crap what a bunch of bullshit silly nanny comments, just in general. First we have the fellow pot smokers making comments such as "it cures cancer".....please, put the pipe down my friend.....if pot cured cancer then.....oh god I;m not even gonna get into it.... Then we have the lame-o's saying that their friend died from smoking pot......how do you know it was the pot? There are soooo many things which surround our everyday lives that can kill us, make us sick and give us cancer.......Just look at the stats for how many people have died from alcohol...it's silly why THAT is still legal Oh let's not forget mister "respect my opinion", funny you should do the same....... Weed we will never be legalized......get over it, I can......... PS....this FML is the lamest one I ever saw

for the record, Im an honours student of Neuropsychology going for his doctorate in a few years with a 3.7 GPA while working a 35 hour work week, and i smoke weed at least twice a week. and 27, THC is not an addictive compound. Douche.

27, i'll answer that first question "If weed isn't addictive, then why do so many potheads keep smoking it, even to the point where you throw your futures and lives away?" People don't throw their futures and lives away because they smoke weed. Those people weren't going to make anything of themselves whether they smoked pot or not. That's like saying alcohol causes people to give up on their futures and lives; but there are just as many corporate executives who are alcoholics as there are bums, possibly even more. I've been smoking for nearly 8 years now; currently I'm finishing my sophomore year at a major university, I pay my tuition, my rent, my insurance, etc. and I smoke everyday, at least twice a day. I don't hide the fact that I smoke and no one holds it against me because I handle my business. Quit listening to the "above the influence" commercials. They're bullshit and are probably getting more teens to try smoking weed than they're preventing.

Did you remember the part about how it wouldn't turn normal citizens into criminals if it was legal? Or about how a parent is less likely to get into a violent domestic dispute with another member of the family if he's been smoking a spliff as opposed to hitting the bottle? How about the fact that the only thing that makes it really dangerous is the fact that it's illegal, so some drug dealers will lace it with just about any other substance they can think of on a whim? I heard about this one guy who had been buying from a dealer, smoking up every day for 5 years, and his brain was totally fried. Turns out, the dealer was putting paint thinner in it to increase his profit margin slightly. Do you have any idea what smoking paint thinner every day for five years can do to a human? You know how that could have been avoided? Legalization. In the words of Cypress Hill; Legalize it!

A. I think it should be legalized, because this is supposed to be a free country and preventing people from doing something that makes them feel good is just wrong. I mean sure it has health effects, but I mean really, the only way you are going to be affected by them is if you smoke as frequently as many tobacco users do, which is like 2-3 packs a day (not exactly sure how many joints that would add up to). B. To whoever thinks it cures cancer, you are misguided. It doesn't cure cancer, but it stops pain, so that is why a lot of cancer patients use it. Chemo and radiation is very painful, believe me, my dad went through it this year. C. It all depends on the person who smokes. Not everybody will be affected in the same way. Some people get lazy, most however don't become any more or less productive. So go ahead and legalize it, at this point it may actually greatly help the economy. Of course there would have to be an age restriction on it of 17-18 because it's far worse for you when your brain isn't fully developed. PS: I am not a smoker and never plan on it, but I don't see any evil in anyone smoking it.
