I've smoked more weed than anyone ought to, and wasted more money on it than anyone ought to. It didn't ruin my life, in fact I think my life is going pretty well; substantially better since I stopped smoking weed.

The reason anyone abuses any substance is the same; they're not happy with reality and want something to alter their perception of it. People abuse weed, coke, alcohol, cigarettes, etc, for that exact same reason.

Not everyone who smokes weed abuses it, lots of people smoke it in moderation with no issues, but when you're that guy who's getting high every day, it's almost always because you're bored. Getting high is an quick and easy solution to the unhappiness of boredom; it makes being bored, not so boring. When you're getting high, because "There's nothing to do", you're abusing weed.

Yes, you can abuse weed, I did and others I know did; and we all did because we weren't as happy with things when we weren't high.

There is nothing wrong with smoking weed. IMO you have the right to do whatever you want to your own body.

Studies have shown thc effects the same parts of the brain effected by bi-polar and schizophrenia. If you have any family history of bi-polar disorder it can trip the switch and cause you to become schizophrenic. If you "abuse" it, it can lead to bi-polar like symptoms regardless of family history. Nick Diaz doesn't seem like the most stable person mentally... Just sayin'.

I think it's fine for some people. It's a life saver for others, and it's also dangerous for some. It's not always fine, people who think its that simple and that it effects everyone the same need to realize it's a fairly benign drug... But it's still a drug, nothing is that black and white... Aspirin can literally kill some people.

All that said. It's illegal, he knows its illegal... Have some will power or don't complain when you get busted. There are other things out there for anxiety.

Sounds like every legal "drug".

Don't do plants, they'll fuck you up, son.

A loser is a loser regardless of the substance in his hand.

I agree with everything you said except the sarcastic middle part. I just don't like blanket statements. Weed is fine most of the time, and it's not physically addictive, I'd rather deal with a high person over a drunk one. But in some cases it's not a great idea... It's not good for everyone... Surely you have to agree with that? You strike me as a pretty smart guy and one who tends to look more at the reality of something rather then broad generalizations....

Weed isn't for everyone just as peanuts aren't.

The same can be said for everything else well.

Let people be and do what they will. Educate them properly instead of putting an evil stigma on everything, which in turn, ends up making adolescence more curious.

It's absolutely possible to abuse weed, and "Rorgan" is an idiot.

I'm not saying weed is inherently bad or good, I'm saying it's common for it to make bad situations worse.

That's nice, in theory. It doesn't work in practice.

It would be great if, say, society at large didn't ever have to pay medical bills/support people who were doing "whatever they wanted with their own bodies."

If every single person on the planet were willing to take full responsibility for their decisions, I'd tell you to run with your naive, utopian philosophy. Sadly, that isn't the case.

Some substances make it more difficult for a loser to turn the page and emerge as a normal, contributing member of society.

I've worked with plenty of people who function well and use weed. I've worked with plenty of people who don't, but think they do.

If Ronald and Nancy say it's bad, it's bad

All joking aside, if he doesn't have an exemption, tough luck, Mr. Diaz. After GSP dispenses of you, have fun in the clouds.

I hope Diaz tests positive for it this weekend. Dana will have no choice but to fire him, right?
