RE: How I Feel About Marijuana After Trying It!

in #life7 years ago (edited)

@kaylinart -We do have a right to choose but I think society has in general decided that things that are addictive should be tabooed. Children are taught to avoid all such things because they do not probably have the judgement about when to stop and may get addicted. As we become adults, our judgement matures and we can exercise choice but at that point, what is good or bad gets also dictated by how much revenue gets made in taxes by the government. That is why, I think cigarettes and alcohol get supported as legal. I am glad that you tried it out. Anything, in moderation, can not be bad. I have personally never tried it. I also think that the highs that you get with your art creations may be higher than the weed highs for you, once the novelty of trying it wears out because you are a great artist. Thanks for sharing your experience. Upvoted

Update at my end is that I have posted a blog with Original GIFs of 💕𝓐 𝓓𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓛𝓲o𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓼 that you may find interesting. I would be honored if you visit my blogs and take a look. Your valuable comments will be eagerly awaited. Thanks

Thank you!
I definitely think we need to be careful about kids, and I think you made a lot of good points on why it was made illegal in the first place.

to my knowledge it was only made illegal after prohibition so people would keep their jobs fighting some type of drug in america

I think we underestimate our young people. Tell them the pros and cons. Informed adolescents quickly grow into educated adults. And there are cons, a young persons emotional development can be halted if they numb those emotions with any substance thc, etoh or prescribed antidepressants or anxiolytic.
Family history of psychosis means you may be more susceptible to paranoid ideas. It does complicate issues for schizophrenic people. Depressed people may become less motivated and melancholic.
Equally if you give an adolescent antidepressants (and many do whether you agree or not) and you increase their suicidal risk dramatically in those first few weeks.
Along with many other Side effects too.
Information is key. Open dialogue with young people with respect for their intellect and growing independence. Why feed a 15 yr old scare tactics and propaganda.

well said, i have depression and have friends that have depression, they take medication for it and idk, perhaps I'm not educated enough to speak on it but i think so many of the prescriptions out there are bad.
