Taking mind altering substances while your brain is still developing may cause problems.

Is this really a debate.

 

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

The people that do are sending a very clear message to us: they need to be in an altered state of reality and it's likely because dealing with actual reality sober is too much to bear.

We're dealing with a mental health crisis in this country and far too many people are self medicating.

Well said. We need to ask why do we need to smoke so much weed? Why is it legal all of a sudden? Why are kids smoking weed at 12. Why is the weed so strong yet we smoke all day long? It’s because shyt is all fukked up out here any everyone is shook.

They all have different reasons. The young people I work with definitely smoke a lot because they're dealing wit depression. Some of them admit it, but some don't feel comfortable vocalizing. I can't stop anyone from doing and feeling but I can redirect the abuse of it. All I tell them is, it's a tool you can use to help you understand what you're struggling with and help you elevate if you don't run from the feelings. Gotta do, not just sit around and wallow.

People focus too much on the weed and not on the why. There are many legal and illegal vices that affect us all. It's just some are considered bad by society and others aren't lol.

i regret smoking young but i grew up in socal in the 90s/00s. Everybody was smoking weed, drinking, popping e pills. Vaporizers and edible brands were new, you had crazy ass space age bongs. we was goin hard lol

 

[BmoreGorilla]

That Ski-Mask all these young dudes are rocking needs to die. Hip-hop is filth

Crazy how everyone had an opinion on bonnets but black men intentionally dressing up as thieves and robbers is normal.

What do those have to do with hip hop? We BEEN rocking different variations of those. I remember in middle school and hs we used to cop something similar from the gas station or army surplus store damn near 30 years ago. It’s cold outside

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Kids in Philly dressed like this are terrorizing the city. Literally shooting in corny people on public buses.

Shut up.

Stay your bytch ass inside the house then

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

Why are they legalizing weed for? So people don't smoke the shyt on the streets? I don't smoke so. I know the country needs the money for taxes and stuff.

You answered it. It's being legalized because people figured out how to make money from it and brought a lot of lobbying power.

breh I’m in Orlando downtown getting a meal with my wife and I see this dude in 84 degree weather covered with jeans and a jacket AND a ski mask likefor the climate he looks off like a mf when everyone either got a t shirt on or some shorts at the least.

And quite frankly that ski mask immediately makes me start scoping and judging, which I felt bad for cause dude only was checking out what he wanted to eat but he still looked like he could’ve been up to something cause of that mask it’s off putting asf

 

[Yzak]

Yes, their brains are fried and they have 0 motivation. The weed of today is crazy strong

 

[Will Ross]

most people start smoking around 12-13

 

[Yzak]

Y’all lame and gay. It’s something wrong with y’all dweeb ass nikkas. Ol we in a state of crisis ass nikkas. Fake holier than thou ass nerds. Y’all nikkas reinventing lameness

Anytime Black people start talking about the habits and propaganda that are negatively affecting us and what we can do about it, agents pop up

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

I started smoking weed at 13

I have accomplished as much or more than most of my friends

Same here

Shut ya bytch ass up. So I’m an agent now? You nikkas some dweebs. I don’t give a fukk how y’all care about it. Weed is not destroying the youth, but that’s not gonna stop you soft ass nikkas from typing all the stupid ass shyt y’all type.

Because it never should have been illegal. We're the ones who suffered the most from marijuana arrests so I don't know how anyone would still want it to remain illegal.

Weed is stronger but y'all acting like it's crack. It ain't that potent. There's a way to do things responsibly and plenty of us enjoy cannabis without letting it be a hindrance.
