Welcome to Gaia! ::

yup let's talk about it. i wanna here people's opinions on the subject then i will give mine

ah wonderful someone against marijuana.
let me give you my experience. so i am a woman who suffers from a form of anxiety disorder that cause me to go into panic attacks. sometimes bad ones and my husband is bipolar. Now i used to be against marijuana so i can see where you are coming from.

So, anyways my husband has been toking for many years now since middle school. he ended up telling me it's not as bad as the media portrays and such and i ended up trying it with a family member and my overall quality of life and outlook has greatly improved since. i have finally calmed down and found peace within myself. Before hand i was angry about everything like darkness had taken over my body and was swallowing me whole and it only increased after the death of my grandmother . seeing my mother in such pain crushed my soul it was like a million daggers stabbing my in the heart all at once.

After trying marijuana my first high was like i was able to look inside myself and see the demons that haunted me. i continued occasionally toking and my entire demeanor changed i found my religion and i finally found myself.

I now stand a proud toker of 2 years. i'm not one of those omg i'm out i must get mooooorrrreeeeeee. I work, i pay my bills and i am currently gearing up to go to veterinary school.

all in marijuana isn't bad and not all people just want to get high all day and waste their lives. it can be used for medical purposes when i am on my period it helps out more than all the pills offered out there. it helps with my mood and helps the pain. i can't even begin to describe how much mary jane has made my life better.

it all reality it should be legalized. it's safer than alcohol you can't die from overdosing on marijuana it's impossible and it has medical properties. i strongly reccomend watch a movie called the union it really helps uncover all the lies the media brings forward .

i know this is all scatterbrained and such but this is how i feel i'm open for more debate on the subject

exactly it's not for everyone and i don't expect everyone to start smoking all i want is for people to educated about both sides there are good and bad traits to everything, but dont let the darkness outshine the light that is inside all things living. we have a beautiful and bountiful planet that is filled with many plant that can help the overall longevity of mankind and we should use rather than dismiss them because of some negative propaganda

you can't get addicted to marijuana it has no actual addictive chemicals. people just get emotionally dependent on it because they lack self control it was made illegal because hemp was threatening the paper and cotton industries so some backward politicians made up a bunch of smear campaigns to make it illegal
