LOL what?? Weed is a drug - don't deny it.

It doesn't deserve the stigma it has, but it is a drug

indeed just like caffeine is a drug as well. like you said its the stigma with it all.

When I used to smoke it, I'd always say: "Its not a drug, its an herbal smoke. Its all natural man."

Now I don't care either way. If something that alters the way you think is considered a drug, then its a drug, because it does alter the way you think & percieve things.

For example, you know you always regret things when you're baked? Things that would normally seem totally normal, you feel all bad for saying or doing them.

Also, it causes you to be timid, and not want to talk to people. It makes everything seem "weird". Not the first few times of course, but after 5-10+ years of smoking it everyday, it starts to have negative effects.

Exact opposite for me @ bold.
Same for the italics, it gets rid of some of my social anxiety.

You do realize that all types of medicine, legal or not, are considered drugs, right? Marijuana isn't the drug, the chemical THC that actually alters your state of mind is the drug.

Who cares about that it is illegal, i still smoke it.

that's just like saying whiskey isn't alcohol.

it sounds like weed is not for you. for me, i like one inhale and then i'll go into society lightened up and feeling good..wanting to speak with others. it doesn't make everything seem weird, that is your own observation imo

I do agree with you though, using it everyday does have negative effects...it did for me anyway

I'd rather just smoke when with friends, i like it as a social thing. I'm done with smoking it everyday though

Ummmm, you smoke weed to get high, that's a drug. I'm not hating just saying.

yep, alters your mind

its a drug
