Now, I know a lot of people who smoke weed and for whatever it is there reason for doing so, I think it is a completely stupid thing to do. Not only is it harmful to your body but it makes you feel out of your mind. I am not innocent, I have tried smoking weed and I hated it. We all do stupid things when we are young and I would consider smoking pot to be one of the most stupidest things I have ever done. On top of that it made me hungry and tired. Something I would never do ever again.

On the other hand, I know a lot of people smoke weed for heath reasons and I think that is okay. If it helps you while struggling with a health issue, then so be it. I am all for people doing things when it comes to being in pain. For the most part, a lot of people just do it because they like to. I hope these people are not doing this while pregnant or around children, because that would just be wrong. I feel bad for people that smoke weed, it's disgusting and it's just not attractive in any way. We all have our opinions and this is just mine. Not only does it have you spending your money on it other than spending your money on something that would help you, it's eating away at your brain cells. Now, this doesn't sound very healthy at all.

Some people have been smoking it for years and if you told that person to stop, they more than likely will not. It's their business what they do, but I would seriously re-consider a decision like that. I don't need help being hungry nor do I need help being tired, so I would never smoke it. Plus, I am a mother and would never use drugs or smoke anything around my child. I hope others aren't or wouldn't do that as well. I am sure there are those people out there that don't care, I just hope this stuff never gets legalized, because we would have a lot of tired and hungry people wondering the streets wondering where they are.

It's not only a health hazard to yourself, but to others that are around you. Something slowly eating away at your brain cells. I like to keep my brain cells and not smoke them away on something that smells disgusting. I think we need harder punishment for people caught with pot, so maybe then, people will realize it's not something to mess around with. I have had many debates on this issue with plenty of people and what I realized is, they think I am wrong and they will never stop. It's your choice to smoke weed, but your kids or people around you don't always have that choice, so please don't smoke weed and if you do, don't smoke it around anyone else.
