The only thing I like about smoking is the social bit. And maybe if you have a hard time sleeping.

Yeah thats great logic man. The fact that the reason you smoke weed is to get THC into your body hasn't crossed your mind then. THC IS A CHEMICAL JUST LIKE ALL OTHER DRUGS.
That "Its natural so its ok" arguement is very flawed. Its like people who do shrooms but not acid, because "its a chemical".

THC is a chemical, but its a naturally occuring chemical, not a chemical made in a lab, and THC also cant kill you.
When i talk about "chemicals", im talking about synthetic chemicals that are in no way natural.
ANY substance can kill you in high enough levels. MDMA, Speed, LSD, Alcohol, THC, Lactose, Water. Give someone enough of any chemical and they will die. It just so happens things like THC have a much higher LD50 level. But then I've a friend would can die from a small amount of Lactose (the sugar in milk if you weren't sure), but he can and does smoke weed, pill, tweak and shroom.
By your logic you'd rather be takeing Coke or morphine than speed or E? Coke and Morphine are the same as THC, both found in plants and are just purified out.
Nature can produce a lot of chemicals that are highly dangerous. Just because a plant or animal lives somewhere on the planet that makes this chemical doesn't mean its any safer than man made ones. After all, our bodies weren't designed to take most of these chemicals in, manmade or nature. I doubt our bodies care where this foreign substance came from, all it knows is that this substance is screwing with its natural state and should be removed ASAP or serious damage/death could occur.
A chemical is a chemical. Doesn't matter how its made.

To sum up AlphaNumeric: Hemlock occurs naturally too! Would you eat THAT?
I guess what really upsets me about the weed smokers is how chill they are....TOO chill. I mean, a comatose person is REALLY DAMN CHILL...but boring as fuck. I won't say that weed smokers can be compared to people in comas, but I cannot help but notice that weed DULLS the intensity and vivacity of so many of those who smoke it. It's really sad to watch people I care about lose so much of what I like about them every time they smoke.
I like PASSION, INTENSITY, and INTELLECTUAL DRIVE. Those are the elements I value most, and the ones I see disappear when someone lights up a joint. And that is fundamentally why I have a deep hatred for weed.
