Not just one downside....Now let's ignore the systemic and psychological sequelae,an "AVERAGE" weed smoker is a public disaster just waiting to happen.

Above is the sort of tired old speculative falsehood that is routinely peddled by finger-wagging hypocrites who would have no qualms about getting behind the wheel of a car blind drunk, before going out to crash into innocent motorists, all the while puffing on highly poisonous tobacco cigarette in a bid to look cool.

Fat Bubba Marwa ought to ban alcohol and cigarettes, so that good folks like this writer can be secured behind bars before they hurt themselves or anyone else.

Lolz,I would have taken time out of my tight schedule to "school" you but because you've decided to be insultive with your comment,I'll let you live with the knowledge/wisdom you think you have....For your info,my moniker is drimzSMOKE,I've done everything,as in everything,so my knowledge on any drug is both subjective and objective,I outgrew it and I think you should too!!!

Lastly,let's say you were to be operated for a major surgery and in the theatre,you discovered that the doctor who wanted to perform the operation was stoned,would you be comfortable with the surgeon?

Enjoy the rest of your day sir!!!

You must have typed the bolded while being high on marijuana.

When I was a kid, my late father had a farm where all kinds of crops were planted. Me and my brothers used to go to that farm and dig out the potatoes and eat them raw to our hearts desire. This we did over a period of years.
An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior and that's what makes us Nigerians.

Look at the example you site. Ten raw potatoes. Who eats ten raw potatoes. Oga if you wan smoke feel free. But compare yourself with a non smoker at later time. We go know who de kill himself. Good one sha ndlea.

The moniker " Numericalguy' eats more than Ten anyday.


Meanwhile, The drug war is a total scam, prescription drugs kill 300K a year, while marijuana kills no one, but they spend billions/year 'fighting' it, because pot heads make for good little slaves to put into private prisons, owned by the banks who launder the drug money, and it's ALL DOCUMENTED.

This is some psuedo science bs .

Obviously you won't eat unboiled potatoes, so that is an oxymoron comparison.

The proof is in the pudding.
What actually happens when people smoke marijuana?

What most of you people post as truth's is based on confirmation bias.

When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.
Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.

Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?

The fact that, in the United States, there are people serving ten-year prison terms for growing marijuana plants in their backyards while Wall Street racketeers, who have defrauded millions of people and destroyed the global economy, walk free is a kind of bizarre hypocrisy that boggles my mind.

Same shitts in Nigeria, where BH, bandit, buhari, alimajiri, ipob, Hausa, unemployment, inflation, high cost of living, Fulani, etc walking free but y'all chasing weed.

Don't forget an honorable mention for Nigeria's biggest treasury looters like current NDLEA head honcho and fanatic cannabis enemy Fat Bubba Marwa, who strip-mined the Lagos State treasury back when he was imposed as a military dictator, then used that stolen public wealth to finance an airline called "Albarka Airlines" which promptly failed, went bankrupt, and slid beneath the waves not long after its creation.

Now that same old fat phuck spends his time screaming on TV about how much he hates weed smokers. The shit-show never ends in Nigeria.

Marijuana enhances our mind in a way that enables us to take a different perspective from 'high up', to see and evaluate our own lives and the lives of others in a privileged way. Maybe this euphoric and elevating feeling of the ability to step outside
the box and to look at life’s patterns from this high perspective is the inspiration behind the slang term “high” itself...
.. But stupidity fanatics like Marwa wants us to be alimajiri and lost.

What it actually does is distort your mind.

Most of the Nigerian's I see on Snapchat smoking it aren't normal but think they are.

Distorted mind = poor life decisions.

Presumably the ogogoro local gin that you drink does not distort your mind, and the cigarettes you smoke like a locomotive don't shorten your life and fill your poor lungs with soot?

I'm not comparing, neither do I indulge in such, but the fact of the matter is, alcohol is only 25% more risky than marijuana based on short term effects, like getting drunk and crashing your car etc.

However the long term effects of weed can be damning. Your mind, perception etc becomes warped over time and you won't even know it .

Alcohol is capable of killing users outright from just one single overdose, so your figure of drink being just 25% more dangerous than weed is questionable at best when one bears in mind that medical history is yet to document one single instance of cannabis overdose death.

You may not be aware that Sir Richard Branson ranks prominently amount the roster of well-known stoners whose astronomical wealth accrued over a lifetime of making shrewd and highly lucrative investment decisions. There are quite a few others who occupy that rarefied stratosphere of overachievement, yet who also relax at home by imbibing connoisseur-grade cannabis.

If Sir Richard's intellect is classified as damaged, I can only hope to attain a similar level of mental degradation in my life. The point I make is that there is no proven link between diminished performance in life's crucial tasks, and moderate cannabis use, regardless of the declarations made to the contrary by those who prefer to get drunk as opposed to vaping or eating weed.

Sir Richard is high functioning, we don't know the details about his use of weed other than what we read on the net, neither do we know if he struggles with it. So not a great example.

There's is a link, why are people banned from driving on weed even in states where it's legal?

What about the rampant case's of mental illness in Nigeria? I remember vividly how some young folks ran mad after consistent use back then. A particular incident was a guy who smoked weed only once and ran mad, it took months of rehabilitation to get him back up to speed.

From observations, a lot of people are already screwed mentally especially the women, the behaviour they exhibit bodly can be attributed to weed. Then you have people who seek higher highs leading them to try out new drug's. A catastrophe in the making, with no healthcare support.

Don't forget that Nigeria is currently experiencing an epidemic of weed adulteration with PCP, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and other deadly poisons. When cannabis is thus contaminated, its active ingredients are no longer limited to THC and a few natural aroma terpenes, having been modified with evil intent to include any number of mind-destroying chemicals that are capable of causing insanity and death.

Were I to find myself stranded in Nigeria, I would only consume weed that I personally grew, and I would never buy cannabis from any dealer since they are all supplied by criminal gangs who are now poisoning their product on a national scale.

No other drug can compete with cannabis for its ability to satisfy the innate yearnings for Archaic boundary dissolution and yet leave intact the structures of ordinary society. If every alcoholic were a pothead, if every crack user were a pothead, if every smoker smoked only cannabis, the social consequences of the ‘drug problem’ would be transformed. Yet, as a society we are not ready to discuss the possibility of self-managed addictions and the possibility of intelligently choosing the plants we ally ourselves to. In time, and perhaps out of desperation, this will come.
