Hermes119:are we talking smoking or oral ingestion? Cause it's unfair to use smoking weed as an example Most weed users don't smoke, some use candy, some cake, some food, some even tea, bulk of weed users dont smoke, there hasnt been a single weed related death, I mean directly involved, harmful to the body indeed, if you want to talk about harmful, let's talk about saturated fats, if I hear say weed is harmful again, on daily basic you are ingesting toxic things but its weed that is least toxic you want to argue against Rubbish and nonsense |

Hermes119:I agree with you. That's where enlightenment comes in. There should be a ministry just like cigarette and alcohol that actively cautions the masses against it's abuse. |

ArisingStorm:During my days in school, i wouldn't say i smoked, but i smoked(in the eyes of my friends, even my female friends), when we gather, they'd pass to me, i no sabi wrap so they'd wrap for me. My trick was "never allowing the smoke into my throat, na my mouth e go stop, then I'll blow it out through my mouth and nose(cool guy). So i never got high, except for the day we smoked in a room and everywhere got stuffy with smoke, na contact i contact that day and the feeling i got wasn't nice. My whole system was vibrating at a very high frequency. I HATED IT! I personally see "smoking" as a child's play, sort of like playing with sand. Also i saw it as a self destructive habit, smokers don't worry about food. In school, they'd gather and when i arrive I'd be like "where food wey we go chop", they'd say i should forget food. Me? Forget food? But y'all bought weed and gins, haba, which kind friends una be, I'd leave em and go and get/prepare food and when we finished fooling around, they'd be the ones to finish the food, then I'd be like "see una life". It was funny though. I never used my money to buy weed/cigarette except alcohol, and that's even when in gatherings with friends and everyone is indulging. |

iamJ:Bro go and look at academic journals from professors and academic juggernauts,go and look at well conducted and reviewed research works,all of them point to the fact that long term consumption of weed have demonstrated several significant health impairments Let us not argue with sentiments I like the feeling that comes when a person is high,its very nice I understand, its a good thing,its very pleasurable YES But we can't be biased in our judgements We point out the implications of certain actions and the individual is better informed and left with the choice In Medschool Lectures who drink alcohol would still tell u the negative impacts of alcohol on the system Own your shit What u are doing is pleasurable,many famous and influential people engage in it but it doesn't make it less harmful than it actually is,intact it may even be more harmful than we know and that something to be wary of |

Hypnotise:Australian tried to do it, they kept pictures of dead people and death on packets of cigarettes, the companies fought back, guy dont mess around with those cigarettes companies, they know how to lobby, there was one that happened in benin, the country next to Nigeria, they almost destroyed that country, people have tried and failed to completely ban cigarettes, best is what we have today, subtle warnings, despite the death counts they will never ban it cause the companies behind it have money and people still use it |

Hermes119:300 words not a single word about what exactly is the harm it causes, you are sending me to research, thought you had your facts on hand hahaha Oga we know what alcohol does to the liver, that is not news, we even know how it destroys the kidney not news Tell us how weed causes damage na? Give me articles of death that weed directly caused, even car accidents, guy rest Weed is an amplifier, if you are smart it makes you smarter, aggressive it makes you more aggressive, side effects are very few and far in between and none is terminal |
| Re: How I Overcame Marijuana Addiction (Weed) by Hermes119: 2:33pm On Jun 20, 2020 |
iamJ:Language bro Language Smoking weed is more harmful of course but eating it like u mentioned still comes with other side effects I don't have a personal problem with Ganja bro,I just try my best to make people understand the effects of what they are doing thats my own |
| Re: How I Overcame Marijuana Addiction (Weed) by iamJ(m): 2:37pm On Jun 20, 2020 |
Hermes119:if bulk of the problems come from smoking, then arguing against weed usage generally is of no use na, cause only a few smoke it and those few rarely if any suffer any lasting or terminal side effects, know what it means for a drug to be termed recreational drug? Tells you alot, no matter what happens, even if Hitler took over the world, cocaine would never be legal, for weed to be legal people have argued against it tire and came up empty handed Weed is good, it's better than alcohol and more useful than any combination of stimulants |

iamJ:Cigarette is not marijuana. Marijuana doesn't kill. Again what you referred to is forcefully imposition by the government. I guess it was interfering in their rights which is freedom of choice. Well enlightenment is still needed. The enlightenment I'm referring to like the case of cigarette is a disclaimer like smokers are liable to die young. A similar approach could be adopted to guide marijuana users in the number of times to be used in a week or monthly and the limits. At the end, whether a person takes marijuana or not, we'll all leave this world. |
| Re: How I Overcame Marijuana Addiction (Weed) by iamJ(m): 2:47pm On Jun 20, 2020 |
Hypnotise:we should also label meat and saturated fats, guy trust me that your angle doesnt work There are so many legal things more harmful than weed, so it makes no sense giving weed a disclaimer, go and check most rehabs worldwide its cocaine they battle not weed, people dont get addicted to weed, it's just assumed, there are more people addicted to alcohol and it kills more people yet it was made legal Prohibition is there, go and read about american fight against alcohol that they lost, its weed that is the least harmful one that you are preaching regulation Lol |

iamJ:Lol. Brother we are on the same page. I'm an advocate of marijuana. After all said and done everyone has his or her own life to live. But it will be really good if there was a ministry of marijuana. There are soo many products that can be derived from it. |

Shuggaa:Brother, please listen to me brother. The benefits of weed smoking is very short lived. However the consequences can be long term. Trust me when i say this. You start having memory loss, making bad decisions....thats a fact! The long term effects can also be overcome, but it takes determination and God's grace. Simply put, smoking weed is not worth it! It is absolutely not worth it. Even including eating the weed (Edibles). I turned to weed when i was 32 years old because i had trouble sleeping (Insomnia), after i had used over the counter sleep aids and prescription for a while which didn't do much to alleviate my sleep issues. From there, i started using regularly...before i knew it, i made a barrage of bad life decisions (relationships) and it started changing my personality (I became short fused). Let those that have ears listen, IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Smoking weed or even trying it opens up a can of worms. Luckily i am not addicted to it because i don't go and seek it. The trigger for me was when i would be around people smoking it (If i have been drinking), then i succumb to it. Now i even stopped occasional drinking and i have cut out friends and acquaintances that smoke weed. Keep away from anything that dulls the mind. Another reason i had turned to weed back then was because i had a very active and imaginative mind (I think a lot)...I saw that as a burden rather i should have tamed it by using mindfulness techniques...Weed was a way to help me dull my mind a little....Until the dulling of the mind almost ruined me. I am glad i made my "rebel" decisions to try weed at an older age, i cannot imagine if i had tried it when i was in my twenties. That would have been a disaster due to my predisposition to having an obsessive nature. The mind is a terrible thing to waste! ANYONE HERE READING THIS! IF YOU LOVE YOURSELF, STAY AWAY...LEARN FROM OTHER PEOPLES MISTAKES UNLESS YOU LOVE TROUBLE LIKE I DID! . |
