Lol I couldn't stop laughing at this post. And alcohol doesn't cause damage?? But yeah, the funniest part was- I know this is
but in regards to the god perspective- 'Good men do good things, and bad men do bad things. But for good men to do bad things, that takes religion'.
But yeah, I have experimented with marijuana before. Had the usual giggly high with friends, it was hell fun. Nothing harmful about it, but like everything else- its ok to use, but not to abuse. (scientifically speaking, there is no evidence whatsoever to prove that marijuana has serious harmful effects. It has been commonly speculated that it is linked to schizophrenia- but that remains
SPECULATION- it has yet to be proved. Don't get me wrong, I don't have much admiration for drug abusers, but like with anything else, moderation is the key. The widespread fear of marijuana has been engineered by institutional and social controls, or for a better term, a longstanding moral panic.
Moral panic is a sociological term, coined by Stanley Cohen, meaning a reaction by a group of people based on the false or exaggerated perception that some cultural behavior or group, frequently a minority group or a subculture, is dangerously deviant and poses a menace to society. It has also been more broadly defined as an "
episode, condition, person or group of persons" that has in recent times been "
defined as a threat to societal values and interests". Namely, in this case, marijuana.
