Original post: No, never tried it. Instead I put my energy into making my life so good I wouldn't feel the need to escape from it. Comment: Funny how everyone hates on my life choices as if I was pushing them on others! You a-hats are all just bullys! I challenge every bully here to a fight. You want to twist my words? Why don't you try to twist my arm too? Chicken? Of course you are! You're just a bully!

jokes on you then.

I fail to comprehend why people voluntarily, fully aware, choose to destroy their own inner organs. You are the weakest.

We are effectively destroying our own inner organs by aging. We are all weak.

>aging

A natural process applied by our Creator. Amplifying this deprecation of your body by using drugs or other substances is bad form. The more so if you are fully aware these substances do that damage.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Marijuana is scarce, hard to get and expensive after all. Things like "anyone can try it if willing to" is different for "it is selling at any sypermarket".

It depends where you live.

I would say it depends on who you know more than where you are.

"You are the weakest"

Because someone doesn't adhere to your standards, they are weak? That's a pretty poor outlook. Besides, there are perfectly safe ways to consume marijuana that aren't destructive, as with just about any other substance.

I fully support legalization and find marijuana to be relatively harmless compared to other recreational drugs, but comparing it to coffee is ludicrous!

Is that because coffee is far more addictive and has a worse withdrawal?

Drink coffee for two weeks, have painful headache withdrawl for the better part of a day.

Smoke pot every day for three years and take a two week long break - on the third day I'll have a low grade headache for a few hours and then it will go away.

Only thing I'll give to the "other side" is that it will take a week to learn how to fall asleep sober again, but it's not a big deal.
