Why doesn’t anyone know the truth about Marijuana?

Question by megacheese: Why doesn’t anyone know the truth about Marijuana?
This is coming from an ex-stoner, so trust me I KNOW weed. Try to tell anyone the truth about weed and they will shoot you down with dumb statistics and so called studies. They say marijuana is better than alcohol or anything else, but it can’t be compared to anything else.
This is the truth of weed: You cannot get physically addicted and mental addiction is not that strong. Thus, marijuana seems harmless. The user continues to abuse cannabis justifying it because its not that bad. Meanwhile, they become apathetic, they become dull, they no longer care. They lose ambition. And the kid who says he smokes and still cares hasn’t been blazing long enough to see what happens to people. Thankfully, I was strong minded enough to pull myself up and see what was really happening. Unfortunately, I lost many friends because I could no longer wallow in that pathetic existence. Take it from a huge stoner who hadn’t lost enough sense to see the truth. Dont let weed become a habit, you will regret it.
i like these answers, and I agree, not everyone will become this way. I am talking about people who smoke alot. This typically happens to people in high school. People who defend weed aggressively like a few answerers are the ones that are in denial.

I’m a cannabis user, and I don’t let it become a habit. As far as i’m concerned, anything can be habit forming, like food. What are they going to illegalize cheeseburgers now too?
