Point was you can be productive while smoking, the same way people can be productive after drinking a glass of wine or two every night after work. The issue is more complex than weed = bad is what I’m getting at. I’m not saying every stoner is college educated.

Some people are were more than likely losers/had bad habits before they picked up weed. Saying weed is the root cause of their problems is something that’s rare. All my boys smoke and all of them graduated from state college or have a trade. Of course there’s bums stealing for weed but if they didn’t smoke weed they would probably be on some other d***/alcoholic.

Wym by “vaping flower”, how do I do that?

Is this a meme post or serious?

the thing is, the old anti-weed talking points are not the entirety of the conversation

we have a crop of stale weed-hagiographic talking points that it's increasingly UNCOOL to rebut ("it's not even addictive"/"it's better than alcohol, you hypocrite"/"no one ever overdosed")

and also new problems that come with the increased use that accompanies legalization as many more first-time users enter the sphere while weed simultaneously gets stronger, presenting new potential and already-realized dangers alike

it's not just fighting the last war

hard to go wrong with either of those, I think my brother has the crafty
i saw the solo 2 on sale and snatched that s*** up fast af a couple months ago when I started getting a cough from smoking

my lungs is baby mode so the vape is perfect and like u said that high is so clean

weed doesn't have to be the root cause of someone's problems (if that is even identifiable) for it to be counterproductive for people to use it and for society to insufficiently discourage it to be used in irresponsible ways

there are people who remain productive with every vice, that doesn't mean vices doesn't carry inherent risks for individuals and the societies in which individuals use them

I'll humor this as serious.

Weed, like literally any other substance is about timing and moderation. You cant condemn weed for having similar effects to prescription medication.

This also isn't an absolute. There are so many things to factor in when smoking marijuana. Strain most importantly for desired effects. Not every strain is going to make you tired, sluggish, etc. Especially when there are strains that will literally make you more active, alert, and creative.

Thats not to say there isn't accuracy with saying weed can do these things to you. It does, again moderation is key. This is a very boomer take honestly lol.

I see where you're coming from but the fact is there's still a ton of misinformation and resistance to legalization in the first place. while I agree there's certainly a place for educating young people especially on the potential pitfalls of using weed, in my opinion the number one priority from a socio-political standpoint needs to be dispelling the stigmas that get pushed by posts like OP

your talking about indica

I agree solely from personal experience. But I also know people who smoke daily and are more productive than I am. So it’s a case by case basis.

While I agree with most of what you said, imo with weed there’s definitely some positives about smoking it than can outweigh the bad depending on your situation. For example I know people who have had crippling anxiety without it. If you can afford to smoke, the only downside is the risk of lung cancer and/or you might not be productive for a few hours.

With something like alcohol, where you can’t even control yourself/remember things there’s no positive aspects and yet that’s encouraged throughout society because of tradition.

At the end of the day you can be more than responsible and productive if you have the means to do so while smoking every day. Unfortunately not everyone can do so, but again that comes down to that person being accountable for their own actions and being financially responsible. I work as a caseworker so I know how irresponsible people are these days, and the lack of personal accountability is so prevalent in out society I’m sure many people would starve to death if they had to farm/hunt for their own food.

idk man i feel like it's real easy to have a healthy relationship with weed.

i think it's easy the other way around too tho can't act like weed is for everyone

as a nigga that identifies as "straight edge" (family trauma + genuine lack of interest) yet still goes outside and be's around his friends that be smoking weed

I just don't understand why you care what others do. You're not better or more productive because you don't smoke weed. I know mad niggas more productive than me and they be self-proclaimed potheads.

As long as niggas don't blow smoke in my face, you can do whatever you want lol.

my only problem with dry herb vapes is you dont get the entourage effect which always brings me back to smoking regularly. Concentrates tho???

Lot of people use weed as a coping mechanism, I’m probably included.

There’s nothing wrong with that, it makes things more enjoyable and helps me relax. Just puts me in a good mood.

The problem is when you’re using it as a coping mechanism, and eventually become complacent and you start to just accept the issues that have you smoking in the first place instead of growing and getting out of those situations.

But that’s not the plants fault. If it wasn’t weed it’d be something else.

This is the funniest s*** ive read all week i love u for this, i hope you we able to mentally deal with it

You see the vision

I don't know if I love smoking or the act of smoking

Quit earlier this year after I got busted at work. Them niggas put me in theraphy and s***. BM mama blessed me with an ounce couple months back and I got back on that s*** lol. s*** felt good after work but when I got the day to myself I hate it makes me lazy and unproductive. Wake up early af to smoke then fall back to sleep and when I wake up it's dark af again. be feeling super useless

na weed be making me do some wild sexual s***

Weed is cool for me if i smoke it like once or twice a week

Idk how those that smoke everyday do it bro

It's like any supplement or medicine it can detriment you if it isn't implemented in conjunction with your way of life. Use it with purpose, trust I know it's hard.

The f*** kind of weed you smoking?

They’re smoking Op
