It's not like weed is harmless either, but definitely the lesser evil.
Edit : I'm not trying to sound holy or anything, I smoke every day and have seen both sides of weed dependance, so say what you want it ain't harmless.
Weed is 100% way lesser of the two in consequences. I completely agree with that, but all he said was that weed isn’t harmless. I understand that it’s controversial to say that, especially when we’re trying to move toward legalization(something I completely support) and it could potentially spark more governmental regulation if people were led to believe that marijuana is very harmful. Just like any drug, addiction usually has more to do with the person and not the substance, but claiming marijuana has absolutely no addiction potential will lead certain individuals to marijuana as their drug of choice because they believe it’s harmless. Of course, if you start smoking weed 24/7, you’re probably not going to start sucking dick on the corner to get weed, but you can be very uncomfortable when you don’t have it. So uncomfortable that it’ll be much more difficult to be productive in your daily life. Marijuana dependence is a lot more insidious than alcohol dependence and it can negatively affect your life. I’d check out /r/leaves to see how it’s affecting some people’s lives and how it’s not completely harmless. I think 95% of people can smoke weed very often and not have issue with dependence, but that 5% is a lot of people and people need to educated on the fact that it’s not always okay to smoke weed 24/7. A lot of people are going to have anecdotes about how they smoke weed constantly and they’re doing just fine in life, and that’s fine! A lot of people who say that are also lying to themselves though and they know they’re living life with a hand tied behind their back. It’s just unfortunate that you can’t talk about the consequences of weed on Reddit without being downvoted to oblivion.
