If being stoned becomes such a distraction that it prevents you from doing other things, that's not good.

Someone not reaching their potential in life to do things or contribute to society is another issue entirely. I can't see much of a problem with someone who gets stoned on a regular basis unless it poses a serious threat to themselves or others. Plenty people do dick all in their everyday life and I'm sure it simply gets seen as a mediocre life but I'd imagine if they included smoking weed in their routine it'd be looked upon as problematic and worrisome behaviour. So I can't really see much of a problem with this except for those who are concerned about how it looks to others (e.g., you).

And I could reiterate what bigray said, people who are like that probably would be the same without marijuana so it should still be another issue entirely and not a concern of whether the use of cannabis is good or bad.

I never said I don't agree with you - I said marijuana interferes with peoples lives when it becomes a priority.
Nor did I say that getting stoned on a regular basis is a bad thing.
BUT it is if all you want to do all day is get stoned - sit in your lounge room getting cooked, ignoring everything else in life, that's when it's a problem.
I've smoked weed enough times to not have an issue with it over all lol.
And I agree with people being lazy before pot is introduced into the equation but that's gives them a reason even more to do nothing if they're that sort of person.

So you're assuming that weed is the problem when it very well can be the individual, they could just be pure lazy. You can't really blame weed if that's someone priority, that's literally the individual doing that.

If I took a knife and cut your head off, are you going to blame the knife or me?

How can he blame you or the knife when he'll be dead after you cut his head off? :shakehead: :shakehead:

I see your point, you're right - it's all down to the individual.
But it's an extra distraction.
Just like alcohol, just like pretty much everything you can be distracted by.

Which is everything, such as film, television, video games, an Eminem forum

That's why there's no point bringing it up (i.e., what me and bigray are trying to say)

I got your point - and I agree haha.
There are always going to be stupid people in the world who abuse things - I just try to not to surround myself with those people.
Not pot smokers - I know plenty of weed smokers that hold down a steady job, are doing well in school apparently - but losers.
I do it occasionally myself.

Hesky I'm addicted to biting my fingernails. Are fingernails addictive?

I think it's worth noting for the sake of this argument that there is an obvious distinction between an addiction and a habit.

"Only two types of people are against drugs; people that have never done drugs and people who were really bad at doing drugs"

I think all drugs should be legal
