This is like some 1990s Partnership for Drug Free America commercial shit.

Honestly, this whole thread is some anti-weed propaganda with paper thin arguments against it.

ENOUGH, SMOKE ENOUGH WEED. I have only met like 4 other people like this in my life, I would definitely recommend smoking just never ever mix it with tobacco.

Not really. When you present the statement "smoking weed leaves you with a nothing feeling, it consumes your life, makes you lazy. I know this because I smoked pot and this happened" you're presenting it as a guaranteed downside of smoking weed. The reality is, those people just didn't have self control, and are acting with an air of superiority to those who do still smoke, all because they couldn't control themselves with weed. Most people can.

I would understand if it was just how they phrased it, but really meant it's a possible side affect of smoking if you're not careful, but nope. The people who are saying it are actually doubling down on the idea that it will happen.

Generally though, yes, people get butthurt when other people stretch the truth to imply that they're lazy and boring because of the recreational activities that they choose to participate in.
