Cant imagine this is a fact.
Im thinking for this to be a fact there would have to be studies where they would have kids under 18 years old participate. Have them smoking cannabis and do tests on them as the same time doing the same test on kids under 18 wich does not smoke. I dont think there ever was such a test.
Or do you think they made test on admitted kids under 18 who was brought in by their parents like: So my kid has smoked cannabis, can you do tests on his braincells and check his frontal lobe?
Im not saying that what you are saying sounds wrong or anything but, is it factual or just believed? We have been fed countless misinformations about cannabis for ages, that is a fact. I recon there is still a shit ton of misinformation still being spread all around the world.

Have smoked regularly since I was 15 years old, can say that most of the information out there that are on the negative side. Have not felt that to be the truth. There certenly are issues that comes with smoking, but issues I would state after smoking for 15 years would not be said or even known by people who preach about this topic.

I started smoking at the pristine age of 21. I've not smoken in a few years but I long for the green vitamin. I don't understand why people feel the need to trash cannabis. It's a mild herb at worst. Come to think about it, I never had tried out tobacco when I started with cannabis. Many good memories related to the green stuff. My father was always saying that "every junkie starts with cannabis", but then again, I don't trust his knowledge on the subject.

Thats mostly the faults of the laws and state then the cannabis. Like for example in my country, they got the same punishment for selling weed as with other drugs. Wich makes it so that the person who sells weed, also sells other stuff because why wouldnt he? He makes more money of the other stuff and it has the same punishment. And humans by nature are curious beings so in alot of cases when someone goes to buy weed, he/she gets offered something else aswell, probably for free. Its not surprising they call it the gateway drug, they've made it so.

You speak wise words brother.
How do you ingest THC? Orally or smoken? I remember making magic muffins from hashish and solved the THC in butter, and I was high for three days after eating said muffins.

What is your point? That someone with invested interest and knowlege of something is not a good person to talk about something they know alot about? This has literally been the problem with cannabis dialog forever now, that people who does not have 1 single fucking clue what they are talking about being put on television main stream to discuss it.
Some time ago we had on main stream televison some mupped who was invited in to discuss cannabis. This idiot sat there and said that "it starts with a joint, then it moves over to hasch". Like he doesnt even know wtf a join or hasch is, what does he thinks is in the joint? He thought that the joint in and of it self was the drug.

"Hashish is the most delirious drug in existence. You basically try one hit of it and you're on a hashis psychosis for the rest of your life. The stuff will never leave your body and you'll be in jail since you took that first hit after which you do crave for more than anything else. You automatically move on to LSD and cocaine and you will wake up in a crackhouse shooting hashish up your sleeve. Only God and Jesus may help your sorry soul from this point on."
That's the general view on cannabis in the mainstream media. :)
Apparently you shouldnt really smoke until youre 25, because thats when your brain is fully developed

It's completely useless to try and convince ppl like him :) he's literally the child that screams crying he doesn't like X food without even tasting it once, ever. I've had this convo with 20+ random ppl that were vehemently against weed at some point and then after a few years realized they were wrong and also admitted it. I discovered weed 15 years ago and I regularly go on long breaks without touching it after literally abusing the shit out of it, meaning I have long periods of time when I smoke daily starting early in the morning and keeping the high all throughout the day. Coincidentally, I'm on a voluntary break rn after abusing it for the last 7 months straight.. just because I want to (and let my lungs clean a bit :P) while also having the goal to only do it occasionally simply because the high is way stronger and well.. money :)

Yes, the only substance I've ever been addicted to is tobacco. I even went through withdrawal symptoms when quitting cold turkey. You completely misinterpreted what I said, on purpose, to fit your narrative. How can you be addicted when I clearly said I always took regular long breaks for weeks or even months and maybe I forgot to mention but I NEVER felt any kind of addiction symptom. Also how tf can some1 who's addicted to a substance just realize he's addicted and simply stop.. do you not realize how stupid you sound making that statement?
its not physically addictive, but very much psychologically
alcohol is also legal pretty much everywhere
so are cigarettes
doesn't mean they are good for you, just because weed is better than cigarettes doesn't mean its good for you, and yes it can be addictive, otherwise there wouldn't be statistics stating 10 percent of people who take weed get addicted

yes humans can get addicted to anything, alcohol is not the reason people are addicted to alcohol, same with cigarettes or vape, it's people vulnerable to what is in that thing, when that thing is harmful, like weed for example, its not good
addition to exercise everyday isn't a bad addiction because its good for you, but addiction to a bad thing is terrible

Alcochol and tobacco ARE the reason why people are addicted to them xD They do stuff to your body that your body wants more and more of it. Especially nicotine in tobbaco works like that. Meanwhile weed doesn't have such thing, also there is no withdrawal sympthoms with weed. Ofc you can "get addicted" to anything and it can be problem, to surfing hltv 24/7 for example. But weed doesn't mess up with your body - it will probably do more good than bad to your body. Consuming weed isn't more harmless than eating steak for example really.
there is not enough research on the effects of weed yet. In moderate amounts, it seems to have lesser harm compared to alcohol. But having done descent amount of weed I can personally say that I become bad at analytical tasks and better at creative tasks. Being an engineer, i hate to be bad at analytical tasks. Liquor doesnt affect my analytical abilities that much (unless I am completely wasted).
most drugs are fine, in itself. the problem is people start way way way to early. my first joint i had with 13 my first line of pep i had with 15 the first time i put 100€ in a gambling machine was with 15 too. at the end of the day addiction is just the same thing. u'r looking for endless amount of dopamin high and a feel good moment but u dont know when to stop. i can only be that old grandpa on hltv, that can lead kids the right path. from all addiction i had weed combined with computer games was the worst. yet it was a good time but too much productivity time wasted. on cocaine or pep u are at least productive and wanna get shit done in ur life, u are very social and out goin but weed and video games. that's shit's crazy. and gambeling that the worst of all cuz there is no actual thing behind this shit.

mayb u had adhd in childhood? i have also a friend of mine who has adhd and cocaine makes him mellow and relaxed. but i jump around like crazy, once i cleaned for 6 hours straight after the afterparty.
1 reply
Yea I probably did / still do lol. I wouldn't go so far to say it mellows me out it definitely is an upper but I don't have much desire to actually be productive if I'm on uppers. Downers like opiates actually made me more productive back then. 6 hours of cleaning damn bro your place was probably spotless and you must have had some bumps during that
You're right and put it quite well. The thing is, even then, the fact of the matter is that weed still isn't addictive because you eventually grow up and you're able to stop cold turkey without any kind of issue. Loads of my IRL friends did it and I can speak from my own experience after 15 years of smoking weed that I can take long breaks for weeks or even months after smoking like 8 joints a day for 1 year straight. On top of that, after discovering weed, I instantly quit ciggaretes, alcohol and also cocaine copies (that were available in those spice shops that were ahead of the law by changing the chemical formula a little tiny bit, which I was doing regularly not just at parties). Anyway.. weed + games is literally OP and even though it's dangerously/addictively good I pity the fools who never got truly immersed in a game like we did :P

Well.. I can't speak to that since I started when I was ~19. To the getting dumb af over time I wholeheartedly disagree. Yes.. while being stoned non stop it can be argued that you get a bit more dumb (only in regards to some aspects) but when you stop smoking you recover and get back to 100% as before instantly.

It's as dangerous as a lot of drugs. Doesn't mean it should be illegal though. If you want to damage your body/brain then go ahead and do it.

Once again: Never said otherwise. As a long time drug user, coming from a family of heavy substance use, let me assure you, weed is not a harmless substance and implying that weed is not addictive and not dangerous is just straight up wrong. I am all for legalizing, but weed heads acting as if there were no downsides to cannabis use just grinds my gears.

You have to differentiate between physical and psychological addiction. Weed is not physically addictive, that's right. Nevertheless it can be psychologically addictive. If you really need me to source this for you I can do that, but a simple Google search will give you several sources for that. Also look up cannabis psychosis.
Once again: I am all for legalization. But denying the dangers of regular cannabis use is not helping the cause. Cannabis sure is one of the least harmful substances, however this does not mean it is completely harmless.

It is 100% addictive, just like tobacco, alcohol and harder drugs.
It can also be dangerous, just like tobacco, alcohol and harder drugs.
The reason why it’s legalized in many places already is simply that a ton of people use it and the risk factor is somewhat comparable to alcohol and tobacco wich are already legalized almost anywhere.
If people want to use it, by all means do so.
But don’t act like it’s harmless because it absolutely isn’t

lmao I used to be exactly like you when I started smoking weed, linking studies to prove it's not PHYSICALLY addictive, even on this very website. here I am a couple years later, day 4 sober after smoking for 2 months 24/7 and 3 years everyday. going through mild withdrawals like decreased appetite, cold sweats, intense dreaming, insomnia. I decided to sober up because every day revolved around smoking weed and my ambitions had vanished to name a few issues. I plan to wait until all symptoms dissipate and find a less destructive rhythm, like once a week. I am very aware I could fail and go back to smoking daily again, at which point I will have to take yet another good hard look at myself knowing I should never smoke weed again.
Not everything is PHYSICALLY addictive, but EVERYTHING can be a habitual addiction or a coping mechanism depending on the person's tendency to form addictions and personal circumstances. im even reconsidering if weed is not physically addictive, because if it weren't, I shouldn't be having any withdrawals that line up perfectly with what google tells you they are.

you can do better than vaping, skip the lungs entirely and take edibles (or oil indeed). been there, done that. it's getting high thats the culprit for me, not the form of ingestion. I am happy your daily usage is not affecting your life negatively, but everyone is different. so far I found out if I use in the evening, I lose the evening. if I use all day, I lose the day. you bring up a good point to lower the dose. this is something I still have room to experiment with, but first I will have to abstain some more and lose the tolerance
Bullshit, weed was never illegal for thousand of years until USA politicians decided to make war off of it. And consumption of weed is not really more harmful than eating steak for example. Alcohol for example is way more harmful and dangerous. If you think that consuming weed is smoking fat blunt mixed with tobbaco and then passing out on couch then think again.

Basically all drugs were completely unregulated until just a few hundred years ago at most, that’s a mute point in my opinion.
And Yes you can’t overdose on Weed, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous.
Again, I’m not against consumption, and especially not against legalizing it, however playing down the possible consequences isn’t the way either.
Drugs are bad, but it's hard to control. These countries are doing this because they started to deal with it pragmatically. But ideally, it should not be allowed or even exist imo, along with alcohol and other drugs that cause chemical dependency. That said, I support these countries. As a brazilian, the most terrible thing about drugs is actually violence caused by war on drugs. Our death toll is very high actually because of gang wars, along with police hopelessly trying to fight it. It's just too profitable and there are way too many people with little to lose here so there will always be people ready to die to get this cash.
To sum up, if the government doesn't have material conditions to enforce a health regulation, don't even try it, just make policies around it.
just because its legal doesnt mean its not dangerous or addictive lmao

they want you to be high and docile tbh its not even rebellious its bleh
Yes, it's dangerous. But not in the way you think.
Yes, in Finland it is allowed to medical use in some were specific and rare cases if other treatments are not working. Its not like you can go to your doctor and say that you have backpain, plz give weed. And it should never be more legal than that.
I don't see any single normal country in list you wrote
the fact that just because its legal and its not dangerous, just tells me that you are bit naive.
Im not big fan but yes it's nicer to have cheese sandwich after getting high af
