It sucks that the cops got you in trouble, but funny that your license was expired by one day.

I like drinking a few times a year, but I don't really crave alcohol all that much. I smoke/vaporize marijuana regularly instead.

Haha, heart issues caused the deaths, not marijuana. I'm fully aware of the health benefits that come with marijuana use!  :P :P

I don't think it benefits your brain cells...

I'm a regular marijuana user as well, but everyone knows that.

I am having identical twin boys in a few weeks.

It said that they were totally healthy 23 and 28 y old guys and it's the first time that someone died from marijuana.
I smoked a lot of marijuana in high school and almost got an schizophrenia, been so many time to psychiatrist, had to take some medicine...
Now i'm more than 5 years clean and i'm feeling much better, and then i was thinking about growing my own marijuana plants !

I also had a friend in high school who also started getting the symptoms of schizophrenia because of his herb/alcohol use. He also already has kidney problems and we're both just 20 years old! Now that I'm a bit older and live on my own with my girlfriend while going to college, I have to cut back a little bit and focus more on responsibilities  8)  I totally miss being a lazy video game teenager  :P I'm considering doing an indoor micro grow in a PC tower case in a few months to save money on herbs.

Anyone who insists it does no damage and is totally fine is clearly mistaken and/or in denial.  It's awful stuff and destroys motivation, I can't stand it.

That totally depends on your personality. If you have an addictive personality you are more prone to loose motivation. Also this kind of behavior is really more common in teenagers or who don't have many responsibilities to deal with at that age. Adults who have a routine that involves work and/or education can handle the balance of work and relaxation  8)

It does cause lung damage if you're smoking it, but you'd have a better chance of winning the lottery jackpot multiple times than dying from it.

It doesn't destroy motivation nor is it awful stuff. You'd be surprised at who does it, which includes many highly-motivated, creative, and successful people.

Drinking, OTOH, is much more dangerous and causes a lot more bodily damage.

Of course you'll find people all along the spectrum, but that's true with anything. There are no hard and fast rules.

Drinking in excess is definietly more dangerous - but the loser stoner type image is there for a reason.  I think it's for lazy people, having seen it over and over again with friends I grew up with.  
There are always exceptions of course, I'm not calling anyone here lazy  :bub:

I still hate it though, especially the smell, it's filthy stuff.

I disagree. I love the smell, the taste, the whole experience of grinding, loading, lighting,  and amoking.

I agree that it "can" cause people to act lazy under its influence,  but there is no damage caused really (except inhaling the smoke)

I'm a daily user and I get up every morning at 7am and build houses.
