The Pot Smoke Argument

We posted a question on a community board "is smoking pot bad for you?". Here are some of the posts (fair use quotes, or our contributions only. For the full thread, join SmileCity - its still free).

" Moderate pot smoking never hurt anyone, I smoke it regularly, once a day or more sometimes. And it's never done me any harm. "

" (of uni students who smoke pot) ... they're honour students at uni getting almost perfect scores... so hey "

" anybody who argues that drugs are good for you is stupid and naieve (sic). NO drugs are good for you, get real! "

" ...passive smoking of it (friends used to be heavy users), use[d] to stop me breathing, and on two occasions rendered me totally unconscious... "

"...in reality a majority of them are just fulfilling their role in society and ask nothing of you, so ask nothing of them..."

" SMOKING POT IS NOT BAD FOR YOU "

" Those who enjoy drugs will defend then no matter what the destructive effects are. This is the way they perpetuate them selves and their plants. Wheat and corn in the the plant world have almost enslaved all the human race as well as many other animals. "

" Some people use plant magic to their advantage. Some people use other people to their advantage. I wonder if something as wide spread and popular as pot smoking should be controlled by those who seek to use others to their advantage (ie the criminal world) or if it should be taken out of their hands entirely? "

" Regulation is worse for those who go out of control or who react badly to pot or other drugs. What leads pot smokers to other drugs is the fact that their pot dealer is also deals crack or P. "
