The Evils of Smoking Weed

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Once again, there is proof that 'Reefer Madness' released in 1936 was correct.
Snoop Dogg's son, Cordell Broadus quit the UCLA football team before his career evrn got started.
Smoking weed makes you lazy and unmotivated. Stick.to booze, cocaine and speed like Lemmy.

What weed does is it makes people learn to live by dissociation. They will need more and more weed and need to have it more and more often. And many of them do go completely nuts. I see this in a contingent of persons all around me.
Wish I'd gotten to meet Alucard.

But when someone accepts the message of innate moral defect, their political consciousness is neutralized. Alchohol, Drugs like Marijuana, and Born Again Christianity, are some of the main ways this is done to people.

But I'm sure it's easier to just suggest I'm a racist.
Brilliant!
Seriously though, I'm not pro-weed but I suspect rockstar666 is right that you get a lot more brain damage from playing football than smoking week! Personally, I'd say no to both and play a sport with less potential for head injuries, but that's just me!
huh. i hadn’t noticed but now that you mention it…
Everyone has to retire some day, and weed will play a much smaller role in my life, just as sports have. If anything football kept me away from the pot smoking druggies in my youth and taught me discipline, which is something free living hippies won't do.
When you say you feel 'long term side effects from pot smoking' I question how you can distinguish it from the repeated impacts you absorbed while playing, and from practices. While long term studies of chronic pot smoking are few, the evidence suggests there's no link to anything harmful outside of weight gain from the munchies. The studies on ex-football players are legion, and the evidence is unmistakable that you live a shorter life and with more health problems.
Overly concerned parents have pushed their millennials towards soccer (God save us all) and guess what? Concussions in soccer might be more severe. Studies show the Impact speed of a soccer ball being headed is 75 MPH while football tackling is 25 MPH

We don't need people sitting on the sidelines, we need people involved and engaged. otherwise our entire society will be something like living dead or born again Christians. Marijuana is only an escape, and we already have too much escapism without it.

You hang out with pot smokers in your basement? Or do you work in a clinic?
I'm around chronic pot smokers every day and they're all normal people. They have good jobs, good families and are as rational as my non-smoking friends. How is it you're surrounded by mentally challenged pot smokers?
I know countless people who show the long term effects of this. Maybe marijuana was not the start of their troubles, but it certainly made their problems worse.
I would be very skeptical of someone who has any real responsibilities or who every has to employ any judgment, who is currently psychologically addicted to it.
For someone to be able to make good judgments they need to be in touch with their feelings. It is not that much different from what Buddhism teaches as Mindfulness. Someone who values Mindfulness would have zero interest in Alcohol, Drugs, Born Again Christianity, or Psychiatric Medication.
Using marijuana is not just a political stance, it is a decision one has made about how they are going to relate to their own emotions. As such, the people who use it are different from the people who do not. It does effect how they will relate to situations.

It is like that with alcohol, once one drinks enough for a long enough time, they are always nuts.
SJG
it is OK to be angry. you've discovered that everything you've ever thought, believed and worshiped has been one great big fairy tale spun out of hole clothe in a marijuana smoke filled hippy yurt.
let it out. smoke another doobie if that will help. it must be devastating to realize your entire existence has been a complete and utter waste. i feel for you dude
With some it never goes this far. And some are able to stay closeted. But if you want to see what marijuana can do, just look at DoctorPhil.

Compared to you preaching intolerence and hate for what other people like to do. Google earthing everything like a stalker. Repeating yourself like a tweaker. Go away.

Why? Well if he uses marijuana, that has made him psychologically dependent on approaching life that way.

I understand that went over your head. Resort to Al/Jesse tactics and just call me a racist because you don't like that I said something about a person who happened to be a minority.
This is the stupidest thing you've yet posted, plus it's very insulting. Especially about spiritual development. You are a complete ass wipe to suggest people who smoke pot aren't as holy as you would wish. Who appointed you the deity of the day anyway??? You lack even the basic knowledge of what you're talking about; your ignorance is appalling!
Blanket statements are frequently frought with error, and yours is a perfect example of that. I'd put you on ignore except you SO badly need input fromn those better educated than you that it wouldn't be my Pagan duty to at least try and open your mind a bit.
Again, I've had to deal with potheads my entire life. They are gone and worthless. I've worked with them. It does effect them. It doesn't happen quickly, it takes decades. If someone wants self awareness and continuing and deepening self education, then the last thing in the world they would want is mood altering chemicals like marijuana.
When you deal with someone whose life has come to revolve around things like alcohol or marijuana, then you are dealing with someone who does not want to take any hard looks at themselves or their experience. As such, they are going to be a problem anytime more is expected of them. They are also going to try and bully you into thinking that their way is right, so that they don't have to take any hard looks at themselves. It is not that much different from someone addicted to Born Again Christianity, it is an escape system.
We tried in this country to handle alcohol via prohibition. It didn't work and it was extremely unpopular. And then in the decades afterwards, alcoholism was extremely common. Being able to drink everyday, or to sip sip sip all day long was considered the good life.
But today, things have changed. Someone who depends on using alcohol to hold their reality together is seen as having a problem.
Up until recently we've tried to handle marijuana with something like prohibition. Now this seems to be starting to change.
But I am convinced that eventually people will see that when someone is using it to hold their reality together, a psychological addiction, then that is a bad thing and that such a person should be looked at with suspicion, in terms of how they relate to people and situations, and as to the quality of judgment they will use.
It is not just that they may be intoxicated during certain hours of a day or week. Rather, it is that their psychic structure has come to depend upon this. It is how they deal with their own pain, rather than facing it directly and seeing what is under it.
So you might ask, are their any escapes that I go for? Well in a way, I do mindfulness meditation and meditations based around creating the vision of what sort of a future I want to build. I also practice tantric sex. This latter is one of the best ways of making a shared spiritual journey with another person.
Are these the same as alcohol or marijuana? I don't think so, because for me it is about feeling your feelings, and then learning to do that, to be present, 24 hours per day.
You don't find this sort of presence in most people. And you certainly don't find it in people who are addicted to mood altering chemicals.
Mikeya02, I have contact with those who are rejected by our society and pushed to the margins, but I don't consider them as 'dregs'. Rather, I know that everyone wants to do well. So if you find people who aren't, then you can know that there has got to be something somewhere back which has destroyed their social legitimacy.
More often than not this is familial child abuse. But when not this, it is the familyism which our society uses to promote lies and to delegitimate.
So either way, when people learn to feel their feelings and be able to face the truth, then they have revolutionary potential. Frantz Fanon, deviating from Marx, was clear that the lumpen proletariat, those rejected from family and clan because of capitalism, has this ability.
But when their political consciousness is destroyed, by things like alcohol, drugs, Born Again Christianity, or psychiatric medication, then they are lost. While I don't have anything personal against them, I'm not ever going to be persuaded by their arguments that escapism is better.

Mitch Landrieu, Mayor of New Orleans, last white mayor since his father from 1970 to 1978. Mitch ran against two black candidates and got 90% of the black vote.

And then The Atlantic has a lengthy article about Landrieu and New Orleans.
The personality and openness reminds me of Mario Cuomo.
No, this is not what I said. I've never said anything like that.
Yes, I do know people who are major trouble makers, and marijuana has been a part of how they got that way. But I am also talking about people who live normal lives and who don't get into any sorts of trouble.
If you want people who are in touch with their feelings and engage with situations, then you won't be wanting people who use drugs.
" there's a part of me that thinks a few bowls would do him more good than harm"
And this is exactly the problem when dealing with pot heads. They think that tune out and escapism are the way to respond to situations. They opt for this, instead of awareness and engagement. So they will be a liability in both employment and residential situations.
