Thread: Study shows no evidence marijuana causes cancer, no evidence potheads aren't faggots

Where is your source for this information? If it's real life experience, then mine completely counters yours, as I know plenty of 30+ (and completely functioning) adults who smoke marijuana on a regular basis, which sort of goes against the idea that it's a "little kid drug."

All that really comes through from your post is, "I don't like marijuana or marijuana smokers, so I will imply that they are immature children." Which is fine - not liking smokers, that is, but I don't know of any solid research that backs up your claim that kids who smoke pot believe they are being more mature by doing so.

Some people smoke pot without turning into lowlifes who can't spell or get a job. I know a commercial loan officer at a bank who smokes on weekends - he's in his fifties. I know a successful travel agent in her late 40s who smokes pot, lives in a very nice house, and has quite a few female friends around the same age/income who do the same. I know this is simply anecdotal evidence, and yes - I also know some scummy people who smoke pot all day and never accomplish a damn thing. But the fact that both kinds of smokers exist would seem to indicate, at least to me, that pot isn't the cause for success or failure. Abuse of a drug that isn't physically addictive seems to come down to personal responsibility. Some people naturally have that, and some don't. It's not really fair to assume that no successful adults smoke pot for recreation and relaxation.

Marry me please. You've just put into words what I never could.

Minor adjustment but good post.

I don't think Bifford really believes half the shit he says. He just enjoys trolling potheads.
