You can't re-write facts. I truly believe weed is bad for society, alcohol too. Let's theorize for a second: a big, blue button exists. On the surface, painted with white paint, resides the word "Happy". If a person was to push this button he'd get a wave of intense pleasure. The wave could last for minutes, hours, even days - it depends on the person. Soon, everyone wants their own Happy-button. Why would anyone want one? Answer that question truthfully and you'll realize why drugs like weed are bad for society.

Not at all, I'm not the one attempting to post old information. I'm fighting my view with the latest in scientific research which lands the argument squarely back in my corner. As for your argument it falls apart easily with 3 factors. 1. unlike your button weed is not free 2. The effects last for a few hours only 3. Not everyone likes weed or its effects. Some people actually dislike the feeling. Also weed doesn't manically kill normal emotional responses after use. You imply the happy button would become the only way to be happy.

由o0MrCheesy0o编辑: 2/25/2013 8:57:35 PMNo, I mean, why would anyone want a thing that gives a superficial sense of pleasure? If society started selling pleasure in a pill, then perhaps that society has forgot, is unable, unwilling, or can not derive pleasure any other way. All the cannabis users I know of live lives that are unhealthy, and usually cause them some kind of pain. The drug is used as a means of escape from that - they don't work on their lives, they escape from it. If you're a happy, healthy person living in a healthy society then the need, or even the desire for something like cannabis shouldn't exist.

I'm of average height weight and build, going to school in computer repair and networking, I have a part time job and i play internet games regularly on my free time. I also hang out with friends. This hanging out consists of everything from video games, going to the mall, and sports. Smoking is just another social aspect.
