I started smoking weed when I was like 12. And I progressively started smoking like a little bit more every year until I started smoking every day. Like I think that started probably in high school. And then up until recently I just smoked every, I don't even know, like I was just high all day. And so I stopped smoking after like nine years or something, 10 years now. I have a lot to say about weed but I'm interested because there's international people on here. What do you think about weed? Is it good? Is it bad? Do people misuse it? I mean I have a lot to say about it but I'm just interested in what everybody else thinks.

It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as it makes you high, it's good for you, right? Some people just feel so bad after...

There are so many people they felt so bad after smoking that. So it's bad for them. You don't have to put good or bad on everything.

That's a pretty good point, man. But I guess, how do you feel about the youth smoking? Like, I see exactly what you mean, and I agree with you. What do you think about the younger generations?

And I guess I mean younger generation, as in I was 12 years old and I was smoking. You know? I just, as a 12 year old, should that be allowed to smoke?

So what I mean by that is that when we wake up and we smoke first or we do anything revolved with smoking first without praising God and loving God, I think that's the sin. That's the problem. That's the issue.

Gotten so high where you can't talk right, like you're just like, just talking random. Well that happened in my mind, it wasn't any bad thoughts but I couldn't think straight.

But I realized that it doesn't make you think straight. And I was just thinking like, what do other people struggle with if they were smoky?

because I was just so used to grabbing something and smoking it but I don't really miss the feeling like it's strange to me

I'm interested in what you think. Do you think that God wants us to smoke? Because I know that there's some passages in there that says you shouldn't be out of your mind. Do you think weed makes you out of your mind?

That's a great question. Trust me, I've been battling with this for quite a while now. And so again, we'll talk about this more.

I think it depends on where it fits into your life, you know. Do you use it for pain to feel good? Do you overuse it and get nothing done? Um, I don't know. So I guess it just depends on the situation.

I guess in other words, do you think, I guess besides medical reasons, do you think it helps people when they smoke?

I've known people who are very like hyperactive or like their mind is real busy and when they smoke it kind of levels them off and they can you know function better.

Well to me, I would say that's a medical reason. Because it's, you know, a neurological side effect that they have off of it. But for an average Joe, do you think it's helpful?

Then I guess the consuming part of it I guess this would be medical again but the consuming being like a salve or a rub I know people who use it for endometriosis I think is what it's called and they just kind of rub it on them.

That's a good question for an average Joe. Um, I don't know. Is it the equivalent to relaxing at the end of the day with a glass of wine? Um, you know, I don't know if it's good or bad.

See that's what I'm saying. I just want somebody to help me out. Cause those people that drink a glass of wine everyday to relax, are they alcoholics? I don't know.

To go deeper into this conversation, if you're interested, what draws the line from substance abuse and relaxation?
Reply

Tough one to draw the line. I guess for me it would be like, can I stop at any time? Can I control it? Is it affecting like my work or my family or anything like that? It's a tough one to answer.

What I think happens is that we end up judging ourselves and shaming ourselves. And it's not that so much is weed is a bad thing, is that if you put it first before God, then it's a bad thing.

But don't get me wrong, I struggle with this myself right now. I've been smoking since I was 18. I'm 32 years old now, so it's been a long time that I've been smoking, but I know little by little, it will go away and I'm not gonna wanna smoke anymore.

So don't judge yourself too much. Don't like blame yourself for those things. It's in us to do these things, but over time you will let go of it if that's what you truly desire.

Well that depends on what you mean by a lot. Most countries don't allow you to smoke if you're not of legal age, right? I think that's because our brains are still developing when we are kids, so it could be harmful to you, like your brain for example.

Well, that was just my case. I definitely smoked a lot and it was unnecessary but I mean in general is it good for your mind or I mean, it's not good for your lungs at all.
