In the open air the smoke doesn't hang around and the health risks are minimal.

-Ghost-


Unfortunately it does. I have a very sensitive nose when it comes to smell. I can tell that someone has been smoking up to an hour or two (depending on windspeed) after they have been there. A feint scent may not cause a reaction, but it still causes discomfort and coughing.

It sucks when my grandmother is over, because she smokes tobacco and I can't be in the house when she does it because I can smell it from anywhere.



It also isn't about the smell hanging there.

Walking past someone who smokes, and dosn't hesitate to blow it in your face, or walking pas someone too ignorant to even direct the smoke away from you, isn't exactly what people want.


This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

I feel sorry for you if you need weed or other drugs to feel better.

I feel sorry for you if you've never experienced drugs, for what it's worth.

You guys practically know nothing about weed or other drugs. Just google them and you'll see some of the effects.

If you think weed is good for you, then you're honestly a dumb-ass.

If only xptek were here to laugh at your assumptions. He's researched the drugs he's done. He knows the potential of the drugs. There's a lot of propaganda from dumb anti-drug groups.

your right AoBfrost, drugs can be harmful if abused, but remember, food is a drug, I know because I'm overweight, and I'm not trying to give young people advice on using Hemp because I was addicted, pyscology at least and craved it every day in my teens.

I say Renegade and alcohol r the 2 most addictive drugs on the planet, so users beware!



I guess all those vegtables I eat are gonna kill me someday cause I abuse them and eat them daily every meal, Maybe i'll stop eating too, stop breathing too, and stop everything i need to live, even drugs used daily are harmful even if not abused, I know people where i work they smoke only once or twice a week and over the past 3 years they seem really different, they used to be fun to be around, now they seem gloomy and unaware of whats going on, it's just if you abuse to and use too much in a short time, you go out faster, if you use less but in the long run, you still go out but alot slower.

I think that people should be able to decide for themselves what they put into their bodies. I mean, people know that most drugs are bad for you and can make decisions on their own.

After all, if our society truly is "free" shouldn't we be able to make free choices about things like drugs without someone deciding for us?

Not really.

Hence the reason there is a "notwithstanding" clause that our Government has access to, and why Canada views rights as something that is "freedom within reason".

No one in their right mind would allow someone to do something that could potentially harm themselves or someone else, just because they have the "right" to. (No, I'm not attacking Marijuana here... this applies to anything)

Just to point out two different sources (if you notice, they don't conflict with each other despite both seeming to support the opposite side of the argument)

I guess that means we shouldn't be able to drive because you could crash and kill someone or yourself, and you certainly shouldn't be able to cook either, because you could make yourself or someone else sick!

Which is why serving food and driving require a license to prove that you know what you are doing... or at least have sufficient coverage to rectify a situation should you actually harm someone.

Driving and cooking are not rights, they are privileges.

Theres a point of how much freedom you have though, You have to know when to not do something even if it feels good to you, like weed for example, there are side effects, people always make studies which cant even be trusted but claim weed is ok, I mean look, if we legalize weed, next your gonna tell me you want meth legalized and meth is 10 times worse, it eats your teeth away and eventually kills you, and DONT even bother telling me meth is good for you, that there was some study, I know a woman where i work and she is always doing meth at her home, she has no teeth, she's always high, so obviously there are side effects.

It's a privilege to cook for yourself or a friend? You've got some weird laws in Alberta.

It is.

It's not a right that is guaranteed by the government, regardless of where you are in the world.

If it is not a right, then it is a privilege. Were you to poison said friend, and server jail time, that privilege would be taken away for the duration of your stay in prison, and restored to you when you got out. There is no form of act or legal provision that says they MUST let you out for a night, or allow you access to cooking material because you have a "right" to cook for a friend.

Do some research on what? I'd be willing to be that I've done a lot more research into drug use than you have. I'm curious as to what makes you think you're qualified to make statements like "You guys practically know nothing about weed or other drugs" when you're not even keeping up with the discourse well enough to notice that weed being unhealthy isn't really the topic being discussed here.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't be allowed to smoke a joint in my room and play video games? What's so wrong with that?

I think this thread is becomming pointless like all other heavily debated threads, the non users say weed is bad, the users say weed is good for you, then post links of studies saying weed is good and non users are retards, all i can say is in my opinion, when your into something you dont see the negative effects like others around you see you.

Well, sitting here and watching people say that all weed does is make you better, makes me realise how dumb that is!

Do you know what second hand smoking is? Some people have to travel miles just to get to a place where there is no smoking, so don't say "You can just avoid that person!", but when everyone is smoking, it's hard to avoid.

I don't care what you do to your body, but selfishly, it's what people do to MY body.

BTW, I don't need drugs to feel good.

Are you stupid? Nowhere in this thread is anyone claiming that marijuana is healthy for you.

Fine, I'll support weed legalization if you legalize killing, murder, rape, child abuse, pyro maniac arson, dog fighting, illegal street racing, and bombing local shopping malls.

Seems fair.

Yeah, because smoking weed is as bad as raping someone.


It's become increasingly clear that you've got nothing to contribute to this discussion, frost. Maybe you could stop posting?
