Beer Lowers Blood Pressure
why do some people still hate marijuana and think its dangerous?
Weed has recently been scientifically proven to keep alzheimer’s disease, a stroke and some types of cancers at bay, it helps ease headaches and stomach aches, it reduces stress and lowers blood pressure, it increases appetite and reduces nautiousness, it doesn’t cause people to want to commit crimes or violence, it’s not addictive and you can’t die and/or overdose on it.
Meanwhile alcohol causes tons of damage to brain, liver and other vital organs, its been proven to increase the risk of getting various types of cancer and other diseases, it causes people to commit crimes and violence, drunk drivers can kill themselves and others, it causes depression, psychosis and other serious mental disorders, it’s highly addictive and you can easily overdose and die from it.
How can some people still hate a healthy drug like marijuana in this modern age, but have no problem drinking a few beers or having some shots of alcohol?
I actually have a legitimate reason for hating it. Ever since I was a little girl, my parents have smoked pot. When I was a child, I would go to school stinking of marijuana and my teachers would always pull me in to their office to talk about it. Of course I couldn’t say anything, cause they were my parents.
As the years wore on, my parents “friends” would come over more frequently. Our entire house stank and I was diagnosed with asthma (which I was told later was probably caused by all the second hand smoke I inhaled).
When I got to be 16, one of my parents’ “friends” came over and, after smoking, tried to force his way into the bathroom while I was showering. My parents threw him out and I never saw him again. But still…these were pot smokers.
Pot is a mind-altering drug. It doesn’t matter that there are worse things out there for you. By that argument, a rapist should be let go because there are worse offenders out there. Actually, pointing out the faults of others to dodge accountability is not an argument, it’s a side-step tactic.
p.s. my own mother said if she could go back and say “no” to her first joint, she would.
