Which view would that be? That pot is the lesser evil? Lesser than what, drugs as a whole?

Yeah, I'll agree with that. Pot's a little less evil than most other drugs.
 
I agree with that too, but only because I am addicted to other drugs (like opiates). After I went through withdrawls from opiates, benzos, anti-depressants and other drugs that cause physical dependence pot seemed a lot less evil. At least there are no physical withdrawls from pot. Not only do I not see it as evil, I view it as a life saver ;)
 
I feel the same about pot as well because I am comming off of a 4 year opiate addiction and I am an alcoholic...and if I didnt have pot I would be barfing all over and I am 108lbs normally and right now I am struggling to stay at and not loose more weight. So it is a blessing for me it helps with my pain I have from my nerve damage in my back from a car accident and I also have a buldging l4 l5 so pain from that as well. So I think in the long run I plan on staying off drugs and drinking but I want to continue smoking/ingesting thc responsibly for my pain as well
 
i don't really share this view, drugs aren't evil, it's all in how you use them. It's probably better for your life if you are a huge stoner than an opiate or benzo addict, but a functional person on opiates is not much different than a functional pot smoker.
 
I'm an addict as well and yes, I do view pot as the lesser evil compared to almost everything else but still is a drug regardless and should be treated with the same respect you'd give other drugs. I've had my fair share of negative consequences as a result of smoking every day religiously. My anxiety for example, pot was one of the major catalysts that made everything start going downhill. Now I'm taking Alprazolam more regularly than weed. Switched one out for another, which I know isn't good.

To me, it doesn't matter a whole lot as to what drugs I'm putting into my system. If it gets me high, chances are I'm going to want it...
 
When I finally quit heroin I know I will owe a large part of it to weed. I wouldn't say it's a lesser evil as I don't think compounds can have that quality. It does make me satisfied in a way so I use less if I'm stoned and I know coupled with subs or methadone I can quit.

Weed is definitely the less druggy of drugs in the sense you don't get debilitating WDs, I still get them if I quit daily smoking.
 
Pot and some psychedelics are the only drugs I've taken (apart from some medicines) that have been overall beneficial. For some reason pot makes me really focused, introspective, more humorous and kind, loving life more, etc. Never had any negative effects from it at all.
