I’ve seen the hold marijuana has over my friends from way back in the university, I might have womanized and being a bit of an alcoholic but I stood my ground to never do weed, I was introduced endlessly but I didn’t. I’ve even limited my alcohol to the barest minimum. All I needed was a brief but intense illness, I saw my life flash before my very eyes then I decided to cut down greatly on alcohol. Many of these my guys are now well placed in the society but still battling the weed addiction. One almost lost his job recently as branch manager of a very big bank. He gets to work very early, locks himself in one unused office and smokes away. Another colleague who was new came early and met him right there, she panicked and told another colleague and that was it. Took Gods intervention to give him a second chance. The irony of this all is that some ppl having seen this thread will still decide to try weed. Don’t even start it, that’s the key. I hear how some ppl go on and on about the health benefits of marijuana and all, it may be used for some healthy products but that type has gone through lots of refining as opposed to the raw and direct one widely used. Stop justifying nonsense and get yourself a better life. Something you can’t confidently do in public is not worth it afterall 4 Likes |

ArisingStorm: The general misconception is that it's the weed smokers that are always stupid, stubborn and never listen. But from your comment I can see that you're trying to take that crown by all means. Congrats. I'm sure I didn't even imply that I use Marijuana too much neither did I say that I depend on marijuana. I am very intentional about my use of marijuana and I have NEVER used it just because I want to get high. I only use it occasionally to relieve stress. But I don't know what you read that prompted you to spill all the rubbish you just say. It's very obvious that you are a really ignorant person. You don't know anything solid about marijuana - just what you've heard from others. |

DICKstractor: Weed has helped me . If not for marijuana I would have committed suicide. I don’t regret it. But it’s not good for others. Nowadays I smoke once in 2weeks because I’m grown. Only week people get addicted 1 Like |

ObinnaObinna:Nah, relax, I am very well aware of the medicinal benefits, You are advicing people to take weed from your words and you aren't aware of their health status, that's the problem I have with you. You keep inviting them to your diary. If you say am ignorant, then no problem. But please stop prescribing drugs to people without being aware of their inner strength to manage the drug. Everyone is not like you, I need no crown, just don't want my bro/sis to go through my pain. We cool bro, no war. 4 Likes 1 Share |

FrMbaka: Okay. But that's why I said you have to be intentional about using weed to replace cigarettes. You can buy weed instead of cigarettes. But don't even smoke the weed. Try to abstain from smoking as a whole. But whenever the urge to smoke is strong, smoke the available weed instead of buying cigarettes. You have to realise that it's a gradual process. Your first step is to cut cigarettes out of your life. Well, you know yourself and works for you. I'm just giving my suggestion. Good luck, anyway. 1 Like 1 Share |

ArisingStorm: That is another place you are wrong. Check all the people I mentioned you'll see that they're mostly already people that use weed. I have not invited anybody to smoke weed, neither have my words implied so. I'm not looking for "new members". I am an advocate for cannabis, it doesn't mean I want everybody to join me. Do what rocks your boat. The only people I explicitly told to use weed are the two people struggling with cigarette and alcohol addiction. I am against addiction in all its forms and I have told even people addicted to marijuana to quit smoking it. My goal is to educate people, tell them the truth about marijuana and not to look for people who will join me in smoking. |

Firstnebo:What God is behind it then? Allah, Buddha or Jehovah? Imagine calling me confused. You cannot for the life of you respond to my question, but I’m guessing you’ll say Jehovah? Okay, I respect your belief and I’m not trying to promote atheism, I’m simply asking him to study his brain and study the universe. Which if you had any education about, you would know if a God created this universe we are not the center of his creation. The Splendor of the spacious heavens should scare you silly, you seem to have no idea just how endless it is, how you are not the center of the universe. Okay, mention 10 religious scientists that contributed to the technology we have today and their various religions. Educate me. |

Fucsheetup: I want to comment on whether the infiniteness and spaciousness of heavens should scare me silly. Actually it gives me hope and joy. It's a testament to the truthfulness of the words recorded in Ecclesiastes 3:11 He [Jehovah God] has made everything beautiful in its time. He has even put eternity in their heart; yet mankind will never find out the work that the true God has made from start to finish. God has put eternity in our hearts and the universe so that we can actually live forever, learn forever, and not become bored. 1 Like |

Fucsheetup: About the scientists that believed in God. What I expected was for you to search these answers by yourself. The question of whether there's God or not is a serious issue with great consequences, therefore anyone acknowledging this would always seek to know more beyond the place of debates. But because you have asked, I will be leaving you with lists of some of these scientists from respected sites like Wikipedia, Forbes, etc However, it might interest you to know that Charles Darwin, one of the top Original Proposers of the Theory of Evolution, (with his book "The Origin of the Species" ), was famously quoted as saying, "I have never been an atheist in the sense to deny the existence of God". So even he believed there is a God https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christians_in_science_and_technology https://www.beliefnet.com/inspiration/galleries/5-inventions-that-were-god-inspired-ideas.aspx https://www.famousscientists.org/great-scientists-christians/ https://www.famousscientists.org/25-famous-scientists-who-believed-in-god/ 1 Like |

I've smoked weed for a while now and I swear it has been quite an experience. I've gone through my guilt stage and I've come out d other side better (my POV). I actually pace myself sometimes a tiny can be smoked like twice or thrice, everything done in moderation. It helps me get through unsavory chores or assignments and I know it, weed, usually gets a bad rap but there are worse addictions out there. Salt, sugar, pepper, sex hard drugs etc. I know one day I'll outgrow the phase, and to each his/her own. I guess my advice for all vices is: no go dey do pass yourself... |

mayim: The thing is even when u share life stories some people would maintain that were is harmless,weed makes people feel nice we know but then it has its own problems,yes it may be because we are weak and we can't do it in moderation but fam weed has its own problems and they are very huge 1 Like |
