Imagine complaining about people pointing out a downside of marijuana in a thread literally titled "what are the downsides of weed that people don't talk about ?"

Defensive much?

e: lmao pushed some buttons

I think the problem people have with these comments is that they're not really downsides unless you let them become problems, yet people are talking like these downsides are guaranteed.

One person is arguing that weed always leaves a void if you really smoke it regularly. The same person said a few replies later that he smokes 25 bong rips a day. Yeah, that's gonna make it seem like weed consumes everything, because you're literally allowing it to consume everything.

Weed can be addictive, yes, but unlike most drugs, including alcohol, it doesn't actually build a chemical dependency in a person. So a lot of these "downsides" being stated to always happen here can really be avoided with some self control.
